It's called "patch leather" because it sounds so much better than "leather scraps."
Patch leather is not a kind of leather but an assemblage made from leather scraps -- hence a patch leather bomber jacket today tends to sell for beneath $40 while a leather bomber jacket tends to start at $160 and go well up from there.
In other words, there is a somewhat strong correlation between what you'll pay and what you'll get.

How to Repair a Rip or Hole in Leather?
Clothes, fashion accessories, and furniture made out of leather can be both very handsome and very durable. Leather, however, like everything can get worn out over time. Goods made of leather, unfortunately, are also very expensive. To help save you the money you would have to spend to replace these leather goods, here are some simple instructions on how to perform leather repair. Often damage to leather will take the form of a small hole or rip in the leather. If this is the case, you can fix the leather by applying a patch to it. First, cut out the leather around the rip or hole. This is done to remove the frayed edges. However, try to keep the new hole as small as you can. Now, get a piece of paper and place it under the leather you just cut out. Take a pen and trace the shape of the opening. Cut out the shape you traced on the paper. Next find some leather you want to use as a patch. If you don’t have any in your home, visit a store that carries leather fabric to find a suitable replacement. Now, place the leather you found on a hard, flat surface. Pound it with a smooth headed hammer to get the piece of leather as flat and thin as you can. Now, take the paper guide you created earlier. Use the guide to cut out the patch. Next, retrieve some linen. Again use the paper guide to cut out a patch from the linen. However, this time cut it out with a one inch larger diameter around the edges of the paper guide. Next, use some glue specifically designed for garments and glue the leather patch on to the middle of the linen. Now, take the linen and leather patch and push it into the opposite side of the leather you are repairing so the linen is on the back and new leather patch is sticking through the front of the hole. Use the glue to stick the linen to the back side of the leather. For the last step, simply take the leather with the patch applied and place it under a very heavy weight. Leave the leather under this heavy weight for about two hours. After this time has elapsed, the leather patch will have dried and flattened into place. It should now have a much smoother appearance.

How do you apply a patch to a leather jacket or vest?
APPLYING A PATCH TO A LEATHER JACKETOn a leather jacket with a polyesther lining, you have to first remove the lining in the area where you are going to stitch on the patch. Otherwise when you stitch on the patch you would stitch through the lining as well. You need a special thicker leather needle that only a shoe maker or shoe repair person would have using a foot-pedal Singer Sewing Machine. Here is another, easier way: Measure where you want the patch on the sleeve with the jacket on. Mark this with a white taylor's chalk, or blue on a white jacket ,so it's visible. Open the lining at the bottom back hem just enough to get your hand in. Slip your hand up between the lining and the leather in the area where you will put the patch. Then with a "small" sharp upholestry needle using a mylon thread in a clear color (light weight fishing line works well for this) and a thimble to push this through the leather, starting with the first stitch through the underside of the patch so the knot in the end of the thread is hidden under the patch but will hole the thread securely push the needle down through the leather to the hand between the leather and the lining and back up through the edge of the patch. Continue working the needle back and forth through the patch and the leather using the thimble to push the needle straight and making a satin stitch though it really doesn't need to be that close together on the stitches. One every 16th of and inch should be sufficient. When you get all the way around the patch and back to your starting point, slip the needle around the first stitch in a half-hitch (first part of a knot) and then back around in the 2nd half-hitch to complete the knot. Then slide the needle all the way under the patch between it and the leather pulling the thread through to the other side of the patch, pull the thread up with a bit of a pucker, so when you cut the thread it slips back under the patch with a long end.I know this looks a bit complicated but it really isn't. Just make sure you don't catch the lining with the thread or the jacket or it won't hang right and will wear uncomfortably. When you've finished with the patch don't forget to restitch the jacket lining hem back where it belongs.
