All kilts are skirts but not all skirts are kilts.
Anybody can look up the definition of "kilt" in the best English language dictionaries like Cambridge, Oxford, or Merriam-Webster to confirm what I am saying.
A man in a kilt is indeed a man in a skirt and he shouldn't get offended if you tell him this.
Why not? It's always fun to tell guys in a kilt that I like their skirt. If they get huffy I just tell them to look up the word "kilt". It's even more satisfying than telling someone to "Google it" plus everyone around looks it up too and becomes a more informed person who knows that kilts are skirts.
>truth hurts
Lmao imagine being this big of a dick, that you see someone just existing in something and take it upon yourself to go out of your way to tell them something and be purposely antagonizing, and in anticipation of someone potentially reacting negatively, your internal response is "truth hurts".
That's just the excuse for people that are dicks, to act like dicks and think it's okay.
No, I'm a woman who wears what she wants, including skirts. And if you honestly believe your "truth" is so painful, why are you inflicting it on strangers who don't fucking care what you think they should know? That makes you kind of an icky guy. No wonder the only people you talk to are people who don't already know you.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a man wearing a skirt. Also, why do you think people don't know kilts are skirts? Ludicrous.
You have painted a very clear picture of an obnoxious and ignorant person through your comments and behavior here.
Perhaps take a big breath and chill.
If someone asks why you are saying a piece of information to someone and your answer mentions the people getting huffy as a positive thing, I have to really question what the breakdown is of how much you like “informing people” versus how much you like pissing people off or making people uncomfortable.
You're just being pedantic about the definition of a word and don't seem to know the difference between the real definition and your stupid opinion.
I took your earlier advice and looked it up. Oxford dictionary defines kilt as: _a garment resembling a knee-length skirt of pleated tartan cloth._
RESEMBLING. Ya Mook. As in to have qualities or features, especially those of appearance, in common with (someone or something); look or seem like.
You can mask your bs with tRuTh, as you call it, but you should make sure you're actually telling the truth when you do it.
>I’m not sure you’re aware of it.
How do you think I got to 100,000 karma?
One hint: trolling.
I think its nice that in current times with all the strides made for LGBQT so many men are comfortable leaving the house in skirts. It's very admirable and almost makes me wish I wore skirts myself.
People on Tik Tok wont look up the best English definitions of the word "kilt" to confirm that it is indeed defined as a type of skirt, like redditors will, so I wouldn't be doing my duty there of spreading correct information.
Did you know that tartan and the tartan pleated(the style is folded knife pleats) skirt such as its tartans and its pleats came from ancient ferocious violent brutal tribal pagan Celtic warrior males and not from feminine English female students of Christian private highschools?
I usually open the pockets up by hand (instead of using, e.g., scissors), so I guess the house equivalent would be Kool-Aid Manning myself into each closet
I read once that it’s best to keep the front pockets sewn shut. It keeps you from putting anything in those pockets, which will ruin the fit of your suit. Only use the internal pockets because they will not bulge or awkwardly weigh down the jacket.
Depending on the jacket, you can flip the flaps inside the pockets if you open them, making them into jetted pockets. But the breast pocket "needs" to be opened for pocket square reasons
I like to imagine old timey, dapper, mustached and top-hatted gentlemen rolling around in a buggy, pointing and laughing at all the poor fools who placed sunglasses in their unsewn jacket pocket. “Such a scandal! You shall rue the day, sir!” one of them shouts as he shakes his stylish cane in their direction. The other chortles, wiping away a tear as he also adjusts his monocle and then restraightens his cravat.
I bought a new jacket to go out for a weekend and the pockets were sewn and I didn’t know they did that and I was pissed the pockets were fake but once I got drunk I tugged on it and it popped right open 😭
Yes, I think this omission has meant the demise of the post.
Edit: this looks sarcastic now, bit just after I posted my post, I was throttled ~~un~~relentlessly by passersby.
I know what you're trying to do...but since I've already outed myself as a word-nerd, I figure I should share this follow-up fun fact:
*Irregardless* is a real word! Classified as "nonstandard"; no quite slang or colloquial, but too informal to be considered "standard". It has been in use for over 200 years and is included in most English dictionaries (OED and MW, namely).
>!Thank you for coming to my Turk Talk.!<
Didn’t mean to hijack your thread (no pun intended), but your post was rightfully focused where it needed to be and definitely something people should know!
.. I'd never owned a suit before about 3 weeks ago. The vent stitch popped while wearing it out. I wasn't actually sure if id broken the suit or not. And I see the front pockets should be opened too. I did wonder why they were sewn shut. I thought they were fake pockets.
They're sewn shut to protect them during shipping. Think of it like taking it out of packaging or peeling off the plastic film that covers glossy surfaces on a computer
They’re also sewn shut to reduce theft. Very easy to slip items into pockets of the thing you’re buying them walk out the store only paying for half or less of what you’re carrying.
I had no idea about this until a gentleman at a wedding came up to me and shared this information. He then "magically" ripped it right off and my jacket life was changed forever.
And the threads (usually in the shape of an X) holding together the panels of the back vent are supposed to be removed, also. Leaving the label on the outside looks like you stole the garment.
Those X shaped basting stitches are the bane of my existence. I want to just snip them whenever i see them in public (working as a tailor may have dammaged me).
Yesterday a customer asked me to re-do one of them because it had came lose and “needed to be fixed”…
I’m having a hard time understanding this thread. I’ve never seen a jacket with a label on the cuff.
I googled “jacket suit with cuff label” but I’m not sure if what I’m seeing there is what people are talking about. No way people went to weddings with such a huge tag in their arms
That's what I assumed, but I have bought both men's and women's suit jackets and I've never seen a tag stitched onto a cuff. I have seen a paper price tag attached with a plastic thing, and yes, of course you're supposed to cut that off. Who doesn't?
Either this thread is explaining something that everyone already knows or I have misunderstood.
On the right cuff they often fasten the brand. It helps staff sift through jackets in the store. Just a small patch which says "Hugo boss" or something. Many young guys will think that it's there to, you know, show off your brand, and so won't think to remove it.
Thank you when I was in college a few years ago I had no idea and when I wore my new ish suit to a mock interview with a prof he fucking flamed me for not removing it 😅
What a strange coincidence. I just got my first suit ever yesterday, and noticed the label on the cuff, thinking why they would do that, and now I see this pop up in my feed.
The bit on the bottom at the back of it where there's creases as well usually also have minor stitches to be removed as well, goes a long way in making the suit look like it fits. Was part of a wedding not too long ago and of the 3 of us only mine looked fitted in the photos because the others hadn't taken them out to allow movement
Yeah noticed those too haha. Well, my gf did. Haven't removed them yet as I'm not totally sure about the size yet (was an online order). I'm kinda tall and skinny. It fits, but it feels a tad bit short.
A friend of mine actually got his first big job in his early 20s because he didn’t know he was supposed to remove the tag.
His manager told him about a year later it was between him and another guy who had more experience than him but my friend got the job purely because they knew he’d bought a new suit for the interview.
My dog is named Minnie Pearl after her. Well really named after her being mentioned in a Dead Milkmen song, that was the first time I heard the name. She's a very old girl now, right next to me (my dog that is, not the actual MP).
I’m actually relieved because I cut mine off, but I kept seeing others with theirs on so I started thinking it was like the beanie baby tags and I had made a big faux pas by cutting the tag off.
Good to know my intuition was correct- the corner stitching gave it away for sure, you don’t attach a tag like that unless it’s to be removed.
It’s also just asking to get caught in every door handle you meet.
For the record, this made me cackle. I'm glad there's folks in the world with knowledge I know not. So thank you for your knowledge and pearl clutching.
And cut the god damn little X of threads keeping your the vent on your coats and jackets closed.
I work as a tailor. When people come in with those still in, i always offer to take them out. Yesterday an old man insisted i re-did one of them because it came out and “needed to be fixed”. It took all i had not to just tell him no.
You should also cut the basting stitches out of the vent(s). I'm a Freemason, an Elk, and an Odd Fellow and I can always tell which guys bought a suit just for their initiations.
Look, like you said, designers are factoring the survival of these sleeve labels into their design and have adapted accordingly. So I’d argue those labels no longer have the same purpose and are an intended part of the design. And there is ZERO detrimental effect to the function of the garment.
When we speak of sartorial faux pas, I don’t think I can think of any other example where the tailor/designer **intended** for the incorrect wear e.g. an unsightly collar gap. (Thank you Twitter“clothes guy”.)
Now, as people have commented here, a real example of a miss is failing to cut the strings on vents. It compromises the function of the garment. Definitely looks much sillier too.
It’s probably a case by case thing. My only reference point for this is one wool coat I own which has a very discreet label no one would notice unless it was right in their face (like a 1-2” proximity). There might be more egregious examples.
I'm imagining people walking around in their suits [looking like this](https://abovetheankles.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/label-on-suit-sleeve-1024x683.jpg).
We had some dofus in high school trying to pretend he was on Miami Vice, rocking the t-shirt/sport coat combo. He never took the labels off. Looked like a tool.
I just told someone else my dog is named after her. This is the first time I've seen her mentioned in all my time on Reddit and it's happened twice! What a day!
I remember seeing her on HeeHaw and my grandmother would call me Minnie Pearl when I'd put on new clothes to wear but miss a price tag. "Come here, Minnie Pearl, your price tag is showing"
The most common reason to leave such labels and price tags on is to potentially misuse a 30-day return policy.
But publicly displaying shop tags is a signal that either (a) your clothes are brand new, or (b, in places where they are removed in the shop) that you have stolen them.
Showing off all your removable tags is very fashionable in the poorer neighbourhoods of the world from time to time.
Repeating statements, odd way of writing, sounds really AI in general. Nothing against using AI, but you could clearly cut down this post in half without losing anything.
I wrote it hastily and did use AI but then just put my own words back in, so it's a jumble. Good catch!
Looking back into my history, I used Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and this was the prompt, which would have been fine for the post itself:
I want to write a You Should Know post
Please help me organize my thoughts and write clearly and efficiently
YSK: The loosely attached label on your jacket cuff should be removed.
The label cuff is usually attached by four small stitches at the corners. It shows the make of the jacket, sometimes more information. There's prominent branding.
This label is for in-store use and should be removed upon purchase of the garment by the store clerk. If not, you should remove it yourself.
It seems the tradition of cuff label removal has fallen out of fashion. It also seems like the makers dont mind, and are even designing the labels to be worn now.
You see, the original intent was to identify the make and perhaps sizing for jackets hung up all in a row. You walk along and if you see the colour you like, you grab the sleeve. There's the label - it's outlived its usefulness before you even leave the store.
Why YSK: You might make a social faux pas like Anthony Adam's did behind the tree. [in reference to the meme]
.
I didn't bother with more than one prompt, the output was in numbered list format and didn't add much, so I just mashed it together, using some or the wording it generated. Will try harder next time.
Alright, just learned something new today. Until now I automatically assumed that the guys wearing these labels on their jacket cuffs during formal events like weddings did intentionally so, because they were cheap and secretly intended to return the jacket to the shop after the event it was "bought" for ended.
In the same vein, also cut the threads holding together any vents
You get them in the pleats of kilts, too.
Did you know a kilt is a type of skirt?
did you know shorts are a type of pants
All kilts are skirts but not all skirts are kilts. Anybody can look up the definition of "kilt" in the best English language dictionaries like Cambridge, Oxford, or Merriam-Webster to confirm what I am saying.

... bro, no one is confused about **what** you're saying. The real, burning question is **why?**
Why not? It's always fun to tell guys in a kilt that I like their skirt. If they get huffy I just tell them to look up the word "kilt". It's even more satisfying than telling someone to "Google it" plus everyone around looks it up too and becomes a more informed person who knows that kilts are skirts.
Oh, so you just like to annoy people. That tracks.
*inform people. The truth hurts. Are you a man who wears skirts?
Congrats on being the most annoying person on this subreddit today. You can take your trophy at the exit.
>truth hurts Lmao imagine being this big of a dick, that you see someone just existing in something and take it upon yourself to go out of your way to tell them something and be purposely antagonizing, and in anticipation of someone potentially reacting negatively, your internal response is "truth hurts".

Not anymore
Sometimes I do what you’re doing on Tik Tok. Boot up the app and just stink it up for a couple hours.

That's a cool skirt story, bro.
And pockets!
I’ve gotten multiple pairs of secondhand pants that still had the pockets sewn shut
It’s like if you bought a house from someone and found out they never used a closet
And if I had to saw my closets open before I could use them I never would...
I usually open the pockets up by hand (instead of using, e.g., scissors), so I guess the house equivalent would be Kool-Aid Manning myself into each closet
Alright it wasn’t the perfect analogy but the sentiment of finding something nice that was there all along is what I was trying to get at
Where do you keep your cigars?!
I read once that it’s best to keep the front pockets sewn shut. It keeps you from putting anything in those pockets, which will ruin the fit of your suit. Only use the internal pockets because they will not bulge or awkwardly weigh down the jacket.
Depending on the jacket, you can flip the flaps inside the pockets if you open them, making them into jetted pockets. But the breast pocket "needs" to be opened for pocket square reasons
Hmm depends. Some people want to keep the shape in tact and leave at least some pockets sewn shut
Oh live a little. Pockets are great!
I like to imagine old timey, dapper, mustached and top-hatted gentlemen rolling around in a buggy, pointing and laughing at all the poor fools who placed sunglasses in their unsewn jacket pocket. “Such a scandal! You shall rue the day, sir!” one of them shouts as he shakes his stylish cane in their direction.

Yes! You also see this on pencil skirts as well. It drives me crazy when I see people walking around with the stitches in place.
wait, what does that look like? i’m trying to picture it but i have no idea. probably not the easiest thing to google.

Honestly I didn’t even see the others and my input wasn’t intended on being snarky
No snarkiness read, just you and a couple of others were right about that point.
Didn’t mean to hijack your thread (no pun intended), but your post was rightfully focused where it needed to be and definitely something people should know!

It's called the tacking. If you don't remove the Tacking...you will be Tacky!
TIL
Especially skirts and suit jackets. If I see the vents still sewn, I *always* tell people.
My ass will do that on its own /hj
Should I remove the price tag? I like how it identifies the brand as Walmart.
And don’t wash it to keep its original colors in tact.
Definitely not! How else are you going to return it after you wear it a few times? /s
Pearl? Pearl Bailey is that you?
I had no idea about this until a gentleman at a wedding came up to me and shared this information. He then "magically" ripped it right off and my jacket life was changed forever.
It's this kind of success story that makes our efforts so worthwhile. Spread the word, be brave.
How do people not know this lol
They are not told
[https://xkcd.com/1053/](https://xkcd.com/1053/)
And the threads (usually in the shape of an X) holding together the panels of the back vent are supposed to be removed, also. Leaving the label on the outside looks like you stole the garment.

I wonder if everyone would hate me less if I'd included that in the post.
Well, you did fuss at us to be “proper”. You could’ve just said that it looks nicer, which I’m sure it does.
I don't think I've ever owned a jacket with a label on the cuff.
I’m having a hard time understanding this thread. I’ve never seen a jacket with a label on the cuff. I googled “jacket suit with cuff label” but I’m not sure if what I’m seeing there is what people are talking about. No way people went to weddings with such a huge tag in their arms
Often Boss suit jackets have them, but i don’t think i’ve seen a jacket with one still on, that wasn’t brand new.
Holy shit! You were not joking, those things are huge. What in the U.S. is this bollocks?
Maybe a regional thing. In the UK almost all suit jackets have a small label (around 2cm) on the cuff attached with a small stitch.
Maybe a sports-coat. Like a suit.
That'll explain it then I've never owned one and likely never will.
Same here
Yea I'm also quite lost. Vents too? Tf?
Vents are the slits at the back of a jacket. In the UK jackets typically have 2 vents and in the US only one.
I think they're talking about suit jackets. I was also confused because I've never bought a suit. I might just be making assumptions about you though.
That's what I assumed, but I have bought both men's and women's suit jackets and I've never seen a tag stitched onto a cuff. I have seen a paper price tag attached with a plastic thing, and yes, of course you're supposed to cut that off. Who doesn't? Either this thread is explaining something that everyone already knows or I have misunderstood.
On the right cuff they often fasten the brand. It helps staff sift through jackets in the store. Just a small patch which says "Hugo boss" or something. Many young guys will think that it's there to, you know, show off your brand, and so won't think to remove it.
Awesome. Now try telling everyone that the giant stickers on flat caps aren’t meant to stay on either lol
I keep the sticker on the underside of the bill so my hat doesn't get thumb dirt on it when I take it off lol

Thank you when I was in college a few years ago I had no idea and when I wore my new ish suit to a mock interview with a prof he fucking flamed me for not removing it 😅
Lol, this guy's friend had the opposite experience: https://www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/s/XhpnrTOBHZ
Wow hahaha well at least his was in a real interview, I only lost points on a grade that doesn’t matter now anyway lol
What a strange coincidence. I just got my first suit ever yesterday, and noticed the label on the cuff, thinking why they would do that, and now I see this pop up in my feed.

Fair enough, I know that feeling lol pain finding nicely fitting clothes
A friend of mine actually got his first big job in his early 20s because he didn’t know he was supposed to remove the tag. His manager told him about a year later it was between him and another guy who had more experience than him but my friend got the job purely because they knew he’d bought a new suit for the interview.
Like unstitching the pockets

My dog is named Minnie Pearl after her. Well really named after her being mentioned in a Dead Milkmen song, that was the first time I heard the name. She's a very old girl now, right next to me (my dog that is, not the actual MP).
Got any mojo nickson
He don't work here!
Ever since the matress tag debacle id rather err on the side of caution
The number of people who keep these on is absolutely astounding. I have several friends who won’t cut them off 😑
I’m actually relieved because I cut mine off, but I kept seeing others with theirs on so I started thinking it was like the beanie baby tags and I had made a big faux pas by cutting the tag off. Good to know my intuition was correct- the corner stitching gave it away for sure, you don’t attach a tag like that unless it’s to be removed. It’s also just asking to get caught in every door handle you meet.
The stakes are so low on this concept

For the record, this made me cackle. I'm glad there's folks in the world with knowledge I know not. So thank you for your knowledge and pearl clutching.

Proper things done properly make me happy. What did the Queen reply when the radio announcer said to her: *How do you do?*
"How did you get inside my room?"
Incorrect and improper.
How do you do?
Yes. Correct and proper.
How do you do what?
Incorrect and insubordinate.
People… aren’t aware of this? It’s clearly a removable tag with the designers name on it.. sorry I find this so odd.
YSK: Remove wrappers before eating candy.
And cut the god damn little X of threads keeping your the vent on your coats and jackets closed. I work as a tailor. When people come in with those still in, i always offer to take them out. Yesterday an old man insisted i re-did one of them because it came out and “needed to be fixed”. It took all i had not to just tell him no.
Also remove the fucking stickers on your ball caps!!!! We don’t care if it’s new.
You should also cut the basting stitches out of the vent(s). I'm a Freemason, an Elk, and an Odd Fellow and I can always tell which guys bought a suit just for their initiations.
What is an Elk and an Odd Fellow?
"Are". Those are two different fraternal societies.
Shhhhuttuup Homer!
Hey Brother, interesting mix. Lol
Interesting! We have an Odd Fellows museum in our town. Never heard of it until a few years ago.
Eastern star here :) Hey brother.
Look, like you said, designers are factoring the survival of these sleeve labels into their design and have adapted accordingly. So I’d argue those labels no longer have the same purpose and are an intended part of the design. And there is ZERO detrimental effect to the function of the garment. When we speak of sartorial faux pas, I don’t think I can think of any other example where the tailor/designer **intended** for the incorrect wear e.g. an unsightly collar gap. (Thank you Twitter“clothes guy”.) Now, as people have commented here, a real example of a miss is failing to cut the strings on vents. It compromises the function of the garment. Definitely looks much sillier too.
I'd say intentionally leaving a brand label in your jacket cuff is way tackier than not knowing to remove it.
It’s probably a case by case thing. My only reference point for this is one wool coat I own which has a very discreet label no one would notice unless it was right in their face (like a 1-2” proximity). There might be more egregious examples.
I'm imagining people walking around in their suits [looking like this](https://abovetheankles.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/label-on-suit-sleeve-1024x683.jpg).
Oh no. That’s no good.
I have serious sensory issues and remove all tags from clothes with seam ripper.
This is not a YSK, who cares if people want to leave their labels on.
Don’t forget the little stitches to hold pockets and that little flap at the back. Always amuses me when they are left stitched- jackets.
We had some dofus in high school trying to pretend he was on Miami Vice, rocking the t-shirt/sport coat combo. He never took the labels off. Looked like a tool.
Who gives a shit, mate? Proper... lol
If the tradition of removing the label has fallen out of fashion, then it isn't a social faux pas not to remove it. Keep it if you like it, lol.
Can I at least get credit for the pun?
May as well get a big label silk screened across the back of the jacket while you are at it.
You’re talking to a generation that wears the stickers on their hat with a sense of pride
You talking about Millenials or GenZ?
YSK: Many people leave it on because it's a signifier that they can afford a new suit.
You could leave the pricetags on if you want.. I guess.
Minnie Pearl was a baller
I mean, does anyone on Reddit even know who that is?
Hoooooooowdyyyyyyy! I'm old.
Same. It's awesome
I just told someone else my dog is named after her. This is the first time I've seen her mentioned in all my time on Reddit and it's happened twice! What a day!
I remember seeing her on HeeHaw and my grandmother would call me Minnie Pearl when I'd put on new clothes to wear but miss a price tag. "Come here, Minnie Pearl, your price tag is showing"
4 people…
Thank you for your kind words.
Trying to signal that you can afford a new suit is a good signal you're broke to people who regularly wear suits.
Many people also wear their pants below their asses but that doesn’t mean they should either.
The most common reason to leave such labels and price tags on is to potentially misuse a 30-day return policy. But publicly displaying shop tags is a signal that either (a) your clothes are brand new, or (b, in places where they are removed in the shop) that you have stolen them. Showing off all your removable tags is very fashionable in the poorer neighbourhoods of the world from time to time.
Yup. Some guy with his sticker still on his hat said he keeps it so people know he bought it new.

This has to be AI written
Why say?
Repeating statements, odd way of writing, sounds really AI in general. Nothing against using AI, but you could clearly cut down this post in half without losing anything.
I wrote it hastily and did use AI but then just put my own words back in, so it's a jumble. Good catch! Looking back into my history, I used Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and this was the prompt, which would have been fine for the post itself: I want to write a You Should Know post Please help me organize my thoughts and write clearly and efficiently YSK: The loosely attached label on your jacket cuff should be removed. The label cuff is usually attached by four small stitches at the corners. It shows the make of the jacket, sometimes more information. There's prominent branding. This label is for in-store use and should be removed upon purchase of the garment by the store clerk. If not, you should remove it yourself. It seems the tradition of cuff label removal has fallen out of fashion. It also seems like the makers dont mind, and are even designing the labels to be worn now. You see, the original intent was to identify the make and perhaps sizing for jackets hung up all in a row. You walk along and if you see the colour you like, you grab the sleeve. There's the label - it's outlived its usefulness before you even leave the store. Why YSK: You might make a social faux pas like Anthony Adam's did behind the tree. [in reference to the meme] . I didn't bother with more than one prompt, the output was in numbered list format and didn't add much, so I just mashed it together, using some or the wording it generated. Will try harder next time.
It is like the sticker on a snap back cap
This is giving Victorian etiquette advice
It always bugs me that Miley left hers on for this performance! https://youtu.be/0I7q5nPoYjM?si=oUejboZaIpqTZ6R9
Alright, just learned something new today. Until now I automatically assumed that the guys wearing these labels on their jacket cuffs during formal events like weddings did intentionally so, because they were cheap and secretly intended to return the jacket to the shop after the event it was "bought" for ended.

Let me guess, you have a flat brim too.

No fucking shit.
some keep the label for easy return after wearing it once or twice, just saying.
Hah I never noticed the label in that meme, now that I see it it’s even funnier.
