I own what I believe is a WW2 era pea coat that I've had for about 6 years. It's been in the closet for the last two winters considering some issues with the lining and a tear along the seam of the right arm. I wanted to see people's thoughts regarding repairing the lining of the jacket.
Would a complete lining replacement be a bad idea? Does replacing the lining take away from the authenticity of the jacket, and should I instead focus on spot repairs instead? If anyone has any recommended tailors in the Chicago area that would be up for the job, I'd love to hear recommendations.
Here's a description of the damage along with several photos: IMGUR LINK

- There are tears around both arm holes.
- Some misc tears of the inner lining elsewhere including inside of interior pocket
- Tear along seems of right arm
