Ok well I'm not going to do that, sorry. But I have had this jacket only for a couple of weeks, and my others feel the same. So if there is glue in there, it softens and becomes ineffectual within a few weeks 10 out of 10 times.


But that's exactly the thing. If you don't cut it open now, you may never be able to remove the glue. If it's soft, you can still do something about it.

No, the glue. If it is currently soft, it can seep into the fibers of the cloth, then harden again. Over time, the acidity of the glue will eat away at your jacket and the seams will disintegrate.

Ah, a young foofer. Not bad.

Unfortunately, all the foofing in the world won't stop real glue from eating a real suit.

I appreciate your concern, but I think I'm gonna roll the dice on this one and leave the scissors alone.
