Cut the threads holding together the vents in your skirts and jackets

I made the title to this entry very long and explicit in the hopes that someone googling will find the answer to their question easily. Do you need to cut those threads that hold together the vents in your long coats, short jackets, and skirts of all lengths? The answer is a resounding YES. Those are there merely to keep the two sides of the slit from folding over and creasing or catching something and ripping the seam. It is ONLY for when it's being shipped or while it's at the store. You MUST cut off them IMMEDIATELY upon purchase.

While I'm at it, those tags that say "Calvin Klein" or "100% Wool" on the cuffs of men's dress jackets must also be removed before you ever wear it in public. I just feel for those young guys headed in to their first day at their fancy new job, or worse, an interview, and they still have that tag sewn onto their cuff. I swear those are on there merely to make people look stupid, it doesn't seem to serve any purpose the way the vent stitch does.

I am no fashion plate, I'm just trying to help. Plus, if I see one more girl walking around with her skirt slit about to burst open cos she hasn't cut that thread, I'm going to tackle her and do it for her.
