For knits? No, just need replacing -- or find someone good with needle and thread, but it won't look as good.

Not a big deal to fix this if you have the skill and understand how to..... a bit harder to fix rib-rack ones, but still possible. If you do not know how to, replace these like it was already indicated. An example of how to work on these is below:

Looks like a little moth damage, check for moth eggs. Always.

Darn the cuffs and waist holes by hand, using a needle and thread, it takes some practice and you have to find the right thread. If you wear the jacket like that, the holes will 'run' and get worse. You want to keep the original cuffs on that Jacket it looks like it's in nice shape.

Put on a couple movies and get stitching, it's not a race either, just enjoy the process.

Guys are all obsessed replacing cuffs but I like em' when they get a little ratty and patched up...that's part of the vintage character.

When you say replace , are we talking about replacing the whole knit bands ?

Kinda had a feeling it would & doesn’t seem to have any eggs from what I saw

& yeah ! I was hoping some solution of knitting or something, and thankfully there is , I didn’t know it can be replaced, but either way I agree try and fix before getting to that & im not biggest fan of leaving it “ worn and with wear “ but I mean even how it is , isn’t that bad compared to others

Thanks

Yes. There are a few recommended craftsman who can do the job. As Burt said, a quick search on the forum will show some names.
