Would it be weird, if I put a patch on my leather jacket here? (infosec.pub)

It's maybe an uncommon location for a patch but I wouldn't say it qualified as weird-in-a-bad-way

Best way to patch that is insert a piece of leather under the tear, then glue the torn parts on top of it.

That will hold everything together better.
