Knochensack Repair
..."I've spoken to think these micro-level techniques might one day in our lifetimes make virtually invisible repairs to cotton garments possible as well. But for now, any restoration using available techniques would reduce rather than increase the smock's value and appeal"...
What about a repair using all original material? Let's say you get a piece of original "gruen meliert"? Original zippers and 60 year old matching cotton or linen thread are not really a problem over here.
I think this would still be better than some 21st century high tech repair.
Does the smock look like the changes were done in war time or does it more look like "played to death" by kids in the 50ties or 60ties...?
