Its restoration had been in the hands of a multidisciplinary team of experts and it had undergone a series of complex procedures. To this end, computational approaches that can support in deciding the most visually appropriate inpainting for very degraded historical items would be helpful as a second objective opinion forthe restorers. The present paper thus attempts to put forward a U-Net approach with a perceptual loss for the semantic inpaintingof traditional Romanian vests. Images taken of pieces from the collection of the Oltenia Museum in Craiova, along withsuch images with garments from the Internet, have been given to the deep learning model. The resulting numerical error forinpainting the corrupted parts is adequately low, however the visual similarity still has to be improved by considering furtherpossibilities for finer tuning.
