How can I 'fix' this ex-hire argyll?

[Father Bill]

I'm sure that you'll get some good ideas here, but if you do not, or if they do not bring it up to your hopes, I'd counsel you to relax and enjoy the fact that it doesn't look "too new".

Scots being a frugal and sensible culture, may look down on things that are too fresh as a waste of money and an attempt to be 'uppity' showing off how well you are doing to be able to afford the newest and best.

A worn jacket has a certain respectability and prestige, looking like the real thing rather than an unseemly display of wealth.

I quite agree. In my experience as a rather ancient Scot , new clothing, products and accessories are traditionally regarded as, almost rather embarrassing "bad form" and some take considerable efforts to age new purchases before being seen in public.

Yes to all the advice above.

In your photos I can't see any problem. (I'm guessing the wear is difficult to photograph.)

The tweed kilt jacket I usually wear has a bit of mothing in a couple places. It doesn't worry me. I don't think anyone could notice it when I'm wearing the jacket.
