Walmart carries a product called Liquid Stitch or similar for very little $. I've never tried it, but it might be a place to start.

When I was in the Army, I used the "permanent method" with plain old Rubber Cement: apply to both surfaces and let dry completely. Then stick together. Patches stayed on through several years of wear and dry cleaning.

I've only done this with denim patches on Carhartt overalls but with great success.
Apply hot glue to the patch, stick it on the overalls and iron it on with an old iron. The hot glue melts into the fibers as deep as you want and sticks extremely well.
On your jacket I'd experiment with temperature in a hidden area first because you might melt the material and make a big mess.

Just about any fabric glue sold at your local fabric store. http://www.joann.com/joann/ (just an example because they have a store close to me) had at least a dozen different fabric glues to choose. More examples:

It is what it is.
A dozen to choose from but do any of them really work??????

My wife works in a hardware store that sells Bish's Original Tear Mender Instant Fabric & Leather Adhesive. We bought some for that purpose but have not tried it yet! It was recommened to us by her boss. He had used it to attach a patch to his boat cover. It's worked very well for that purpose.

I've used 3 or 4 kinds over the last dozen years. So far every one has worked. The last one I used Fabri-Tac. http://www.snafu.org/pics/r1200gs/2009/0227-tank-pannier-mounts/
That has only been in use for about 8 months so it is too soon to tell how good or bad it might be.

As Dive Team Leader, this is the only adhesive that my team used (Sheboygan PD Dive Rescue Team: 1974 - 2005) for gluing patches onto our drysuits and having them stand up to heavy abuse - underwater!
Have since used it for any and all patch-attaching - all the patches currently on my motorcycle jackets and some hats are 'stuck' on with this:
Trident Crystal Clear Seament - All Purpose Neoprene Adhesive and Sealant
If you go this route, be sure to work the adhesive all the way to the edges of the patch (or re-do it once more if when dry, an edge wants to 'peel') and place wax paper over a glued patch, and then set some heavy books on it for 24 hours.

I ran across the product I saw on TV. It is Mighty Mendit:

I have never used it, but they advertise it as a product to permanently glue fabrics together which sounds a lot like a solution to the patch problem.
