How to remove crap load of lint off jacket?

Can you wash it inside out? That may help. Also, go get one of those masking tape lint rollers. That’ll get rid of what’s there now.

Try a clothes shaver.

@erichw1504 A shaver would work for pilling, but for lint, the roller would do best.

turn the pocket inside out, and use a vacuum on it,

Take some masking tape, scotch tape or an unwanted label (with a sticky back) and pressed the sticky portion to the lint. The lint will stick to the sticky portion.

To avoid linting it, wash by hand.

@Velvetinenut is right—tape. You can get the roller thing for lint that is basically tape, but easier to use. You can find them in places like Target and Pet Stores. I use it for everything, clothing, furniture, always good to have one in the house.

Both 3M and Scotch makes them.

Duct tape!! Wrap it loosely around your fingers, sticky side out. Voila! Your hand is now a lint roller!! Remove lint, repeat as needed.

I’m with ccrow.. don’t spend extra money on a roller. Use masking or duct tape wrapped sticky side out around your fingers. Works awesomely.

Duct tape FTW! And not the cheap Staples® brand, either. Go to the Home Depot-type hardware store of your choice and get the real stuff!
