The shorter version of this video is here: yes

I don’t remove the stitching of the pockets I don’t intend to use, especially the lower front pockets of a coat. It will prevent fabric sagging and holds the shape of the garment better.

A seam ripper is probably one of the best (and cheapest) investments you can make for your wardrobe. I use it to remove price tags, stray threads, and everything you spoke about in your video. Great advice! However, I never remove the seams on my outside coat/jacket pockets (except the breast pocket). It keeps me from putting items in them and making me look more bulky than I already am.

I’ve just bought a suit for the very first time, and yeah your video really help me because i was wondering to removing tags and stitching the vent. Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much for this explanation. I'm a woman but had to pick up a new jacket for my boyfriend before he got back into town because he won't have time before his meeting to do it himself. It's been many years since I have handled a brand new men's jacket (before the tack stitching had been dealt with). I'd forgotten all about tack stitching! So when I picked up this new jacket for him and was removing all the tags, I noticed the pockets sewn shut. And I couldn't remember if this needed to come out. For a bit of background knowledge, a great deal of women's clothing come with FAKE POCKETS! It is infuriating to no end! Women's dress jackets will often just have a flap on the front and no actual pocket. So when I was tidying up my boyfriend's new jacket, I had a flashback to when I bought a good ladies' jacket many years ago. But then I thought "No.... Men actually USE their pockets. I'm pretty sure this needs to be carefully cut open..." And away I soared to the internet for the answer! Thank you for this informative video that not only answered my question, but did so in a thorough and easy to understand manner.

I love how thorough your videos are. If you ever wanted to make a really long video, like an epic 90 minute video on a really important topic I would be down.

thank you for the tip...i cut the little tack that held my double vented jacket...

I took a new sport jacket to my seamstress to be fitted. I was like "this jacket has no pockets" She was like: RIIPPPPP, "there you go, you have pockets." I actually didn't know about tack stitching. I went home and found new pockets on 4 jackets. Thanks for what you do Antonio!!!

I remember having the sleeve tag discussion with a hard headed friend, who was convinced it was there to show off the brand to others. He literally asked me, “well if its not supposed to be there then how will people know what brand is my jacket”.

April 2021 and I just bought a suit for my son who will be graduating in May. I wanted to know about the stitching in the back. I asked youtube and your video came up, thank you so much 😊 really appreciate it!

Back when I started using suits, I immediately cut open both the pockets and the back of the jacket, just because leaving them like that didn't make sense, and was later told by my mom what those stitches were for. Which makes it funnier for me whenever I see an older guy with the back of the jacket still stitched, since it was commonsense for a 13 year old me to remove them.

Great channel. I love that all things are covered, everything from basics to the advanced, and crystal clear with zero confusion every time.

Moms watch too! Thank you making prom night outfit a success

Very timely. I just had this removed on a breast pocket on a suit I purchased last year. I did not even know that it was secured until I went to use a pocket square. I then noticed that the lower jacket pockets were also stitched closed. I elected to leave those sewn shut as I do not use these pockets and feel that it helps the pockets lay smooth and neat looking. In the future, I will check these out when I purchase my next suit or sport coat. Thanks for sharing.

Lol years later I just assumed it was a style. "No pocket for you"

Yesterday at school there was a dress down day so I decided to go with it semi casual outfit. And I left the tag on sleeve or my sport coat I thought you were supposed to be there by teacher came up to me and said you're supposed to take that off and this video is very helpful

I made that mistake on a new sports coat and my auntie was nice enough to tell me without embarrassing me to remove the stitching!

Praise God and thanks for the information, just what I was looking for. I'll be keeping up with you, be well!

First time you can think the pockets are for looks. And the vents to stik your hands in them behind your back.

I always wondered this, thanks Antonio.

Truly ROTFLMA at how embarrassing I'm feeling right now. Fellow fathers, we should be including this information with "that talk".

We have no taylors. I have a seam ripper. My mother taught me to sew.

This was helpful. Thank you

Thanks Antonio. Your video was helpful to me.

I know it dosen't have much of a connection to the video, but I'd be really happy if I could get some advice. I'm a young guy and I'm going to a semi formal party next weekend, however I'm not sure about my outfit. I wanted to look unique and cool, so what I thought about wearing was a dark blue navy jacket with some bright grey-blue pants (You can clearly se they aren't supposed to match) I picked a classical white shirt and a red tie. I'm not sure if this is going to look really good or if I'm out in the woods, personaly I like it, but maybe you would disagree. Obviously you can't know a 100%, buy maybe you had a general idea.

Always a pet peeve of mine, thanks Antonio!

Today I bought my first blazer with only 20 dollars and after seeing this video I removed those stitching ☺

Thanks, needed to know for my prom fit.

holy, you allwasy have all the answers to my questions

This video has nice soft light. :) What did you do different here? I really like this look.

Brilliant stuff. thanks.

I wonder this same thing... Very good info.

i was scared i messed it up very good RMRS

Thank you!!! Amazing content

Real Men Real Style Antonio, could you make a video on how to wear a polo shirt with a blazer. Also , do you think this looks decent.

I was surprised when i found out they were stitched when i were younger :p

Lol dint remove that thing on the back

Antonio should I also remove the tag on the front of the pocket of my dress shirt that says "slim-fit"?

Here i am, sitting in my lazy boy chair at 1AM in a three piece suit for no fucking reason and wondering “why are my pockets sewn shut?”

thanks a lot for the answer!

Hey Antonio! Great video. Love the videos you are putting out and I've learned a lot by looking at them. I just to were big baggy clothes as part of the Hiphop environment, but now that I'm in my mid 20s I want to be taken more seriously. I subscribed to your free ebook a while ago, but I haven't seen to have gotten it or any email regarding it. Can you help me out? I really want to check it out and learn more. Sincerely Christian Nygård

Can you make a video about proper walking position for men please! Thank You!

Thanks for the nice video, I bought a blazer recently and it has red trim stitching, going around all the edges, and I don't mean the pockets or vent. Should I keep or remove? Not sure if this the design of the blazer but I can see the ends are loose when I look at the inside and the thread can be pulled easily. any advice?

Thank you

Great channel, subbed

Do you recommend the Salvatore Exte Men's Suit 3-Piece ?

Thank you so much!

Hi Antonio! Would it be possible to get a video about pocket watches? I have considered getting one, but I'm not sure if it is the right call to make.

Antonio I always remove the stitching from the breast pocket, but I usually leave the side pockets stitched up. I never use them. Do you? Can't really think of anything I'd store in the side pockets, since I use the interior pockets for my cell phone.

my mother bought me a jacket for my recent trip to Japan and Ive never had one so I never knew what the stitching is for let alone the name. now, is the time to remove it, I guess. also, do you know how to get rid and prevent your clothing from attracting those accumulated little fabrics ( like dots ) on them? you know the ones in garter material thanks, antonio.

So does removing that stitching void my return to the store?

Nice i m cota stitching lering plz help adnan malik Karachi pakistan
