I use super glue, they're been on for 3 years now,through rain,wind etc and still no sign of budging.
if you sow them on it ruins the lining inside the jacket if you have one.

It's a rigid glue designed for solid flat surfaces which makes the leather dry and brittle. I'll sew on every time.

I bought a leather needle and strong thread and sewed them with my machine. Dont care about how the lining looks just taped it where i wanted the patcges then sew. Easy. Trust me I am no sewer but turned out fine
