Q: This is the best example of this style of pullover i have found, i just have a couple of questions. firstly, do you know what material(s) the patches are made from? secondly, is there a pen holder on either sleeve?
A: The label just says "100% acrylic" so I presume this applies to the patches as well as the pullover itself. There is no pen holder.
