Would it be weird, if I put a patch on my leather jacket here? (sh.itjust.works)

Thank you! What if I put something like an embroidered patch over it? Or would it just look bad?

Personally I love visible mending such as embroidery, as I think it gives character and history to a well loved garment.

I would suggest putting leather under the tear with glue to strengthen the area, and then do some decorative stitching over it for added security and design!
