That would leave the weight, but make them less visible below the hem, and you’d still have the option available in an emergency. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parka-pulls-hang#post-1996436 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 16:09:03 +0000 Column 1996436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, ladies: Thank you for educating me on fashion vocabulary (cord locks) and their purposes (to keep the hem straight and to provide warmth—the latter of which I guessed). I am glad to know there is an alternative!<br /> Bennett: That is the best example of not letting clothing boss one around that I have seen yet!<br /> All: Since I am no seamstress, I think I will wait a while to see how much they really bother me or get in the way. Then I know I have a solution if necessary.<br /> Thank you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parka-pulls-hang#post-1996434 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 15:59:32 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1996434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMO, don't buy that kind of parka if you don't like the way the pulls hang. If you cut them off the hem will hang weird. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parka-pulls-hang#post-1996425 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 15:15:18 +0000 nemosmom 1996425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a fab coat! I'm with the others - cut away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parka-pulls-hang#post-1996418 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 14:53:00 +0000 Bennett 1996418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean about where they hang. Absolutely cut away since you say you will never use them. Don't let your clothing boss you around, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parka-pulls-hang#post-1996360 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 03:52:42 +0000 karen13 1996360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They do make things warmer in case of an emergency where imminent hypothermia outweighs the call of fashion. But cut away if this is not a coat you would wear in those cases. Do pull as much as you can out before you snip, per JAileen's technique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parka-pulls-hang#post-1996347 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 03:06:28 +0000 Anonymous 1996347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It keeps the hem from flipping up .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parka-pulls-hang#post-1996344 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 02:48:50 +0000 JAileen 1996344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did this on a canvas/fleece Patagonia coat. The cord locks were in a weird place and annoyed me when I walked. The cord was elastic so I pulled it has much as I could and cut it. I have no regrets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parka-pulls-hang#post-1996341 Sun, 27 Jan 2019 02:36:23 +0000 Column 1996341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://shop.mango.com/us/women/coats-parkas/faux-fur-quilted-parka_33035755.html?c=99&#038;n=1&#038;s=prendas_she.familia;15" rel="nofollow">https://shop.mango.com/us/wome.....familia;15</a><br /> I bought the Mango version of Angie’s parka: khaki is more soft Army green with a sheen. Love the fit, faux fur, gold hardware, easy care (washed beautifully).<br /> Question: What do you do with the bottom circumferance cord locks? I won’t use them and they hang below the bottom of my coat. Would anyone cut them out? </p>
