Somewhat hard to explain here, but I opened up my suit pockets with the intention of tucking the flaps into the pockets. However I noticed there was loosely woven black thread on the inside side of the pocket (the pockets were sealed with white thread). This prevented the flaps from properly fitting into said pockets. Is it okay to cut and remove this thread? I'd say it's woven similarly to how the upper and lower halves of a peak lapel are stitched together. EDIT: There seems to be some confusion, I'm not talking about the Basting that seals the pockets. It's this stitching inside the pocket once the pocket has already been opened. Here is a photo of the black stitching. I've already removed the thread in the opposite pocket
