For years my carharts came with patches on the knees. Patches on the elbows. They stopped that. I've still got some bib overalls from the 80's with factory knee patches. Jackets with the elbow patches are long gone.
When I was growing up my mom would iron on patches when I wore holes in the knees. I hated those things. The glue on the patch would stick to your kneecap where the hole was.
I remember those too. After about the 4th washing, the corners of the patch would start to peel off too.
Those iron on patches are a 'fashion statement' nowadays and people pay good $$ to buy old looking new jeans with patches already ironed on.
Duct tape works just as well but it's adhesive will stick to skin too.
