That's a personal choice. Two of my vests have all functional pockets, but for this new one that I will be starting on soon, I did cut off the flaps, as I will be covering up the pockets. I will be leaving the actual pockets on, but those can be cut off too... however, for many jackets, there won't be any denim left underneath, so it's not always a good idea.
I needed that, thanks!
Great! 🤘 Soon I'll be making some vids displaying my finished vests, more tips, and more in general.
Thanks a lot
Do you cut the chest pocket flaps off as well?
