Doug...
Just FYI....
Years ago I had a beautiful uniform tunic that was absolutely pristine...EXCEPT for a very noticeable hole, about the size of a nickel, right on the front of the tunic.
I took it to an older Italian tailor in my area and showed it to him. He had a woman working for him who did what was referred to as "invisible weaving."
She opened up the lining of the tunic and removed some of the excess material. She then was able (don't ask me how !) to "re-weave" the area of the hole. She then closed the lining.
When I picked up the tunic the tailor had to pint out to me where the hole had been ! It was virtually impossible to detect that it had ever existed or that the interior lining had ever been disturbed.
I don't know if there is anyone around who still knows how to do this, but I thought that I would mention it.
