    That doesn't look bad to me. Leave it alone- don't take wool from somewhere else on the tunic. If you must, find a similar colored wool and just tack it behind the holes. That way they won't be noticeable and the repair is reversible. Now there is one damaged area on the tunic- if you take wool from somewhere else, there will be 2 damaged areas.

      I agree, there's no way you're going to be able to harvest enough cloth from somewhere else on the tunic without destroying that area too.

        IMO any post war repair will diminish the value of the tunic. I have a few in less than perfect condition, it is part of the tunics history. It gives it character, I would leave it alone.

            I'm in agreement with the "leave it alone" crowd.

              Sorry guys, but I disagree. Any professional, competant tailor should be able to do invisible mending with these moth holes using wool from another part of the tunic. Trust me, it will be worth it to talk to a tailor about this repair.
