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

I’d probably try a heavy cotton underneath as a patch and glue to that. If you could find a decorative braid or something that looks ok in a complimentary colour you could glue that around the cuff where it has torn for further reinforcement.

Possibly a strip of perforated leather or vinyl would work.
