TB0576 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hi Folks, Looking for a little help here, I am looking to put the riding patch in place on my Racing suit, I was wondering if you could offer any help, which I know you great folks can, what I need is photographs of how far down the leg it should go and how far near the groin is should sit. I have looked and seen many different looks and sizes but I am trying to position it just right so it looks the way it should. also it would be helpful if anyone can tell me how much I would need to enlarge the pattern that I got from here to make the right shape of the riding patch. I know a lot of people struggle with this one and I am at the same point right now, this would be great to get set in place and not have to worry about it, as we have all been there. Thank you for any and all help that you can offer. Regards. Ian McMillan TR0576 501st UK Garrison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It goes between the legs I kid I kid. Here is a pic of my Snow Scout so you can see the patch better. I used the same pattern on my Biker Scout. I think the total length of my patch is 18 inches. I fold it in half & use that fold to line up with the center seam of the jumpsuit crotch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB0576 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hi Joe, Thanks, obviously it goes between the legs ...LOL. i was just wondering if it was more near the front than the back or in between and such, just trying to get this thing right as i only have the one piece of suede and don't want to mess it up, as it will cost me another $45 to fix. Thank you for the photograph though. Regards. Ian ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dart Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Ideally, the riding patch should be visible from the front. It really should come around to almost half way around the front of the thigh, and about a hand's width above the knee. Lots of examples in the gallery of the original suit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
