   I was working with insulation yesterday, and got fiberglass all over my nice new coat. It is also on the inside of the sleeves, so I'm itchy as a motherfucker. Does anyone here know how to get fiberglass from insulation out of of clothes, specifically a Carhart jacket?

   try using a lint roller. if that doesn't work, take it to the dry cleaners and have the Asians worth the magic. Or if you want a new jacket go to the store find your exact same jacket, buy it and then go out to the parking lot bring the insulation jacket inside and return it and say that you're returning it because it's itchy. they might give you a hassle about the tag being off of the jacket, but if you press
   them hard enough and stand your ground then they will fold under pressure. especially if it's a sub $100 jacket.
   The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

   Thanks. I got the jacket at a Bass Pro Shops about an hour away, and I behave myself nowadays so I won't be returning it. I'll try the long roller out i just hope I remember to do it tonight.

   lint roller, put the garment inside-out, lint roller
   
   take the garment to deep-space and make it cry, beat it with a wooden bat
   
   hire a small team of asianic women wearing loupes and smexy short lab dresses to meticulously pore over the garment, plucking each individual fiber of glass from it's weave. they have a natural knack for this kind of intricate & delicate work.
   
   also get harder skin, you can do this by not moisturizing or using sunscreen and being frequently dehydrated ( heavy beer drinking may help ) and rolling around in the weeds/brush with your shirt off. actually getting scratched and embedded with glass fibers may help make you more resilient to future irritation from the same.
   
   there is no two iffs ands and butts about it, this is hard work but at the end of the day when its done you will never look at yourself the same again and pat your own back for how far youve come.
