how do i fix a small hole in my suit jacket?

I have a small hole in my suit jacket. I would like to know if there is a way to sew it so that it is not noticible.

Hi Bill. Call every dry cleaner in your area and ask if they have the name of someone who does Invisible Mending. The person takes threads from a hidden seam and, in effect, re-weaves the fabric. I've had moth holes and rips in wool pants repaired this way and even had one hole that was the size of a dime repaired. Even looking very closely I cannot see where the repairs were done.

Cheers, John
