This Coat

I was wondering if facing was the correct term.

I'm asking because the coat, the right elbow and left cuff has been seriously mothed and was wondering as the facing was for the most 5 inches wide, both sides, I could use some of it as patch repairs.

Then again, I'm creating damage to repair damage.

 

2 x outside pockets.

 

The coat has been well got at, a cuff and elbow are pretty bad + a few tiny holes elsewhere that could be darned/stitched and replace bottom half of the lining.

The PoW check really does lend its self well to hiding other small holes.

My thinking being, use the inner front facing folds, as there is a fair amount of spare material to use as replacement for the cuff and large patch repair for the elbow and a couple of other areas.

But maybe I'm just overthinking this, the coat, for what it is has been saved, it is what it is, damage included.
