People – you are supposed to cut and remove the big stitches in the pleat of your jacket or skirt before you wear them! They are only to keep the pleat flat while they are being shipped. Good clothing stores used to take them out for customers when the item was purchased – you should take them out yourself. If you leave them in, it prevents the pleat from functioning – which is to provide ease in the garment, and looks bad! –Fine tailor from way back

Honestly? There are people that stupid?
Welcome to the modern age. Where every goddamn man, woman, and child has the IQ of a fucking brick.
Every goddamn day I have been given another reason to wish for the sweet embrace of death. Our whole species is a joke, you useless apes disappoint me every goddamn day.
They teach this in university; that is, to not cut those threads.
Maybe I don’t want a functioning pleat. To be honest though, I have no idea what this is about. I guess I’m not very fashionable.
Shhhhh these morons frequently donate these clothes to secondhand shops. Happiness is unstitching the pockets.
Could be worse. Could be a guy wearing a brand new dress shirt to work with the cardboard still under the collar. For reelz!
