Tips for removing vest collar?

I am planning to remove the collar from my new vest and just wanted ask here if anybody have some insights or tips for a successful result.

Are there anything in particular I should beware of?

Do I need to sew afterwards to avoid the neck area disintegrating?

I used blue bias tape to avoid fraying and to strengthen the shape of the neck area. Worked like a charm!

Thanks for the input, probably not a bad idea to strengthen the area.

(had to look up what bias tape was, but I get the general idea. )

Guess you used a machine for that part?

Yeah, it's the only part of the vest done with a machine.

Usually, at least on a Levi's jacket, the collar is folded over and sewn to the back and inside of the jacket. You can cut the collar off halfway with scizors, and then use an X-Acto knife to slice the threads that hold it to the actual jacket. Yeah I recommend doing what Dante suggested as well to keep it from fraying, since the collar is structurally important to the jacket.

That is a good tip, thanks

(one of the vests is indeed an old Levi's)

I kept my collars, it's great for when it gets COLD, keeps the damn wind off yer neck. Or you can always tuck them inside your jackets so they rest on your shoulder (there might be an ideal way of keeping there without hard/bumpy snaps.)
