Wouldn't you just want to turn it inside out and than fold the cut part and sew it so it wont rip more? I've never done it, but that's what I think you would do.

I would say don't do it because Causwell's jackets are ill and should not be messed with, but it's your jacket so your choice.

yea. If there are seams I would say get a seamcutter(thats not the right name, but im drawing a blank) and remove the sleeves that way rather than scissoring them off

or you could save your jacket and buy a vest and when you realize you don't want a vest anymore you'll have a backup jacket. hhhhmmmmm

You can cut through zippers. Just go to Joann's and buy zipper stops for like a nickel.

what you should really do is cut off the sleeves and make put a zipper on so you can always put the sleeves back on if you want. i cant really explain how to do it, but if you cant figure it out a tailor can do it easily

thank you for your contribution to this discussion.

OP just leave maybe an inch of sleeve and sew it in, like everyone else is saying.
