Silly question about venting on a coat
I just bought a second hand double breasted overcoat, and noticed what looks like single venting around the back (pic related), still sewn up at the bottom.
Stupid question, but this is regular single venting and the thread holding it closed should be cut open, correct? It's not a new coat so just want to shake any doubts that maybe it was left that way intentionally by the previous owner for a good reason and I've just misidentified it.

Yes it should be opened.
Fair enough. Still a bit new to dressing more formally so just wanted to make sure it wasn't some hitherto unknown-to-me fashion feature to be kept closed. The thread holding it closed is relatively substantial (as thread goes) unlike some suits I've had in the past so figured I'd triple check
