男性时尚专家帕克·约克·史密斯（Parker York Smith）揭示了对待新西装外套或大衣时必须做的三件事，同时解释了这些外套背面大写的X标志的含义。

你是否曾买过一套新西装或外套，却发现所有口袋都被缝死了，或者穿起来不如预期那样活动自如？其实这背后大有缘由。

男性时尚内容创作者帕克·约克·史密斯（Parker York Smith）在其拥有数百万跨平台粉丝的社交媒体页面上分享了原因。西装外套和大衣看似有多余的缝线是常见现象，包括后部显眼的X形缝线。

在一则科普视频中，帕克告诉他的粉丝们："朋友们，如果你有幸买到一套新西装或运动外套，务必在首次穿着前完成这三件事。"

随后，他继续分享了关于夹克的三点处理建议，其中包括剪开部分接缝。

他举起缝在袖口的小标签宣布道："第一步是剪掉袖标。"

他透露道："尽管我很想让大家都知道这套漂亮的西装出自托德·斯奈德之手，但这些标签本就不该一直留着。"

帕克用拆线器拆掉了标签，同时没有损坏大衣。接着，他还仔细清除了袖口内所有松散的线头。

他说：“第二点是打开所有的口袋。”

尽管口袋被缝死听起来可能有些奇怪，但帕克解释道，制造商这样做是为了在运输过程中保护衣物。

他解释道：“所以你得把它敞开，这样你才能使用口袋巾，并且真正方便取用口袋。”

帕克再次使用拆线器，小心翼翼地拆开了封住口袋的缝线。

他接着解释道，有些人喜欢让平口袋保持缝合状态，以保持口袋'平整美观'的外观。然而，他本人更倾向于将其拆开，以使口袋更加灵活实用。

帕克表示："第三点，也可以说是最重要的一点，就是打开你的通风口。在夹克背面，你会发现通风口是被缝住的。这样做同样是为了防止它在运输过程中起皱。"

这位时尚专家先用拆线刀划开大X形缝线以打开通风口，随后将线头拆除。

他解释道，夹克或外套的开衩设计本应保持敞开状态，这样在穿着正装时能提供更佳的活动自由度。

帕克接着表示，尽管这三步对某些人来说可能显而易见，但他经常看到有人穿着夹克或外套，却未事先完成这三个步骤。

网友们迅速涌入视频评论区，纷纷对这位时尚达人透露的内容表示惊叹。

有人写道：“我完全不知道。我还以为口袋被缝起来是因为我们不可以使用它们。感谢你持续分享这些实用知识。”

另一人评论道："开衩！！！我经常看到男士穿着这些开衩处还缝着线的大衣，整件衣服都奇怪地耷拉着。我真想俯身帮他们把线拆开，让大衣恢复自然垂坠。干得漂亮，伙计。"

第三位补充道："女性西装也是如此！我数不清有多少女性从不解开夹克和大衣的后开衩。"

Men's fashion expert Parker York Smith has revealed the three things you should always do to a new suit jacket or coat while also revealing what the big X on the back of these jackets means

Have you ever bought a new suit or a coat only to find that all the pockets are sewn shut, or that you can't move around in it as well as you'd expected to? There's a good reason for this.

A men's style and fashion content creator named Parker York Smith has taken to his social media pages, where he has millions of followers across multiple platforms, to share why. It's common for suit jackets and coats to seemingly have more seams than needed, including the big X located by the rear.

In an informative video, Parker told his followers: "My friend, if you are fortunate enough to score yourself a new suit or sport coat, I need you to do these three things before it ever gets worn."

He then went on to share the three things you should do with your jacket, which includes cutting off some seams.

"First is to cut the sleeve tag off," he announced as he showed the small tag that'd been sewn onto the end of one of the sleeves.

"As much as I would love for everybody to know this beautiful suit is from Todd Snyder, these tags are not meant to stay on," he revealed.

Parker used a seam ripper to remove the tag without ruining the coat. He then made sure to banish any loose threads from inside the sleeve.

"Number two is to open up all the pockets," he said.

While it might sound strange that the pockets are sewn shut, Parker explains that manufacturers sew them shut in order to protect clothing during the shipping process.

He explained: "So you gotta open it up so you can use a pocket square and actually have access to your pockets."

Once again, Parker used a seam ripper to carefully remove the seam that closed the pockets.

He went on to explain that some people prefer to keep the flat pockets sewn shut in order to keep the pocket looking 'nice and flat'. However, he himself prefers to open this up too to make the pocket more flexible.

Parker said: "And third, and arguably the most important, open up your vents. On the back of your jacket, you'll see that your vent is sewn shut. This is also to protect it from wrinkling in the shipping process."

The fashion expert used his seam ripper to cut across the big X to open up the vents, before removing the thread.

He explained that the vents on a jacket or coat are meant to be open as it'll give you a better range of motion when wearing the formal attire.

While these three steps might seem obvious to some, Parker went on to say that he regularly see people wearing jackets or coats without having done these three steps beforehand.

People quickly took to the comment section of the video, sharing their amazement at what the fashionista had just told them.

One person wrote: "I had no idea. I thought the pockets were sewn shut because we werent supposed to use them. Thank you for continuing to share your wisdom."

Another said: "The vents!!! The amount of times I see men wearing these coats with the stitches in the vents, and the coat just hangs strangely. I want to lean over and pick out the stitches to free the coat. Great work, mate."

And a third added: "This goes for women's suits as well! I can't tell you how often women don't open the vents on jackets and coats."
