Anyway you look at it you are talking a major undertaking. Buy lots of packing size tape to pull the fuzzes and help you keep the thread explosion under control. Good Luck! I couldn't do it.. He should sell it to someone who still works there and buy himself a brand spankin' new one. ;-)

Takes a lot of patience, HOURS and HOURS of time, a good light and a magnifying glass. Tiny sharp scissors or a razor-type seam ripper will work. As stated above, cut bobbin thread, then pull emb thread from front.
Jacket better be worth all the effort.
