Although, why would you want an aged patch on a brand new jacket? Sure, they look cooler when they are aged, but that wouldn't be consistent, would it?

Good point, but I’m guessing that the patches would probably age at a slower rate the rest of the jacket. The reason I’m saying this is that the jacket has a much greater surface area than the patches and would get more wear spots over the surface of that area.
Another reason I’m guessing this is because patches really don’t come in contact with much today … not like they did on original jackets what with life vests and parachute harnesses so they would tend to look new for longer periods. I guess it’s a matter of personal preference.

There are several guys here who are very accomplished artists and have techniques for aging leather. You might check with one of them .
