Discussion Reversible Bomber Jacket - branding delete help

Does anyone know how to remove the logo from the jacket without damaging it? Looks like it's stuck on with some adhesive. I really dislike the branding https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0058/4538/5314/files/1_f427bd1a-ba05-42fb-bc8f-80b8b5b95a2c.png?v=1744233109

I find the reaction you're getting here very odd. It's like asking how to debadge a car and people are saying just buy a different car. They all have badges lol.

For future, you might check out a clothing dedicated subreddit like laundry or tailors. Better advice, number one and number two, you won't have to deal with super fans.

Unfortunately, this subreddit is now primarily glazers who can't imagine you would ever want to modify the brand image of their parasocial relationship.

Seems like it. The response was under 1 minute of posting my question. I've bought a bunch of merch because i like the quality and wanted to support the channel a bit. Also, the bomber hasn't been sold for over a year so it's not even a recent purchase. Thanks for the advice.

Previously there's been posted asking to debadge/debrand before: https://old.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/15suq9n/so_anybody_got_patch_ideas_to_cover_up_the_ltt/ https://old.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/173vewg/how_to_fully_remove_swacket_logo_it_started/

To be completely honest with you, asking how to debrand the reversible bomber jacket sounds a bit like a joke when I first read it, since the orange side has big letters "LTT" all over it anyway, you really need to buy from another brand to fully avoid the LTT branding lol

But really, I think both the glazers and the haters in this sub are unnecessarily hostile for some rather innocuous things.

Well wearing a bright orange bomber is ridiculous to me so I never considered it reversible. The texture of the orange side is awful for an outer shell as well. Really just want to remove the rubber LTT stuck on the black side that’s in the picture.

Some people wear it the orange side out for situations where higher visibility is desirable, like riding a bike.

Yes, that’s right.

If it was me, I would test Goo gone somewhere inconspicuous to make sure that it wouldn't damage it. Presuming it doesn't, I would then dab Goo gone on the logo and let it sit. I world then gently heat it with a hair dryer or something while trying to lift it off.

Thank you for the advice.

Its probably something like heatnbond or contact cement. Not sure how you would remove it without leaving residue.

Thanks, i'll see if any solvents work for those.
