Lewis Leathers elbow patch

[greenc]

Can't speak for the authenticity of that jacket but I've had a genuine Lewis in that blue leather from the same time period and it was lightweight but stiff, I don't think it was sheep, more like a lightweight horse or cow, anyway it was same colour and leather to yours. There are a lot of bespoke Lewis Leather racing suits that are very different from the stock jackets, the racing suits would sometimes come with different or no patches externally. , if I had to hazard a guess, yours is the top half of a woman's suit or a bespoke item but could still be a lewis

That's really good to know, thank you. Those elbow patches have really thrown me, not gonna lie. I'm guessing they're stock but I just can't see Lewis Leathers putting out something that looks like that even way back then and even with the inside tag
