What is the reason for sewing pants pockets shut?

1 Answer

Answer :

If they are real pockets and not fakes, they are sewn shut to keep the shape pristine before wearing. Once sold you should snip the stitches and use the pockets! Similarly a tack is made at the bottom of coat and jacket vents which looks like a little X. Sometimes I see people who have left the tack in whilst wearing it. It’s meant to be removed before wearing.
