That is exactly what I did for my vent flaps, and I was also able to line them. I didn't make epauletts because it is more on the line of a business suit; the same for the cuffs.
I still have quite a bit of scrap fabric from that jacket, and it's probably enough to do that or make repairs. Don't throw away your scraps.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
