I've got a question for anyone here who knows how. The antique regulation doublet that I received last week has a small moth hole on one of the inverness flaps, on the same flap is also a moth hole that was repaired many years ago. I'm wondering what method is used to repair the little hole caused by moth damage. Looking at the repaired hole I cant tell what method was used, but I would like to do the same to the other hole in the same flap. Any help would be appreciated, I stopped by two cleaners with tailors and two tailor's stores and none of them knew what to do. One of them even suggested (ugh) an iron on patch (yeah right!)

Here's a picture of the hole, i put a quick stitch around the edge of it to make sure it doesn't get any larger.
