honestly I dont think it would look great. depends on the colors and the thickness of the jacket tho. I where tall tees over my jackets sometimes.... which turns out pretty cool looking. It is an easy way to switch up your look often without spending a lot of money

Never done it, fully support it. I've had a few jackets that have zip-off sleeves and there's something awesome about it.

Just do it. Probably don't want to cut into the seam though, as that could unravel in a hurry.

I have, depending on your jacket type just cut on the outside of the seam.

i did it to my magic jacket worked amazingly. cut the sleeves right on the seam then bring it into a tailor and they will use material from the sleeve to cuff the edges and it will cost like $10 for them to do it and it will look suuper sick.

I like cutting the arms off my good jackets so they are useless and I look cool in the park.

I did it to an old jacket a few years ago, came out pretty sick. As long as you sew it up so no snow gets in there it works well.

yeah. just go at it with scissors and leave a little extra so you can sew it up. if not the insulation and layers start to fall out
