Do you find that most T-shirts have itchy tags?

It seems like every new T-shirt I buy has some kind of horrible itchy tag in the back. And in the old days, tags could be easily cut off (yep, I'm old enough to remember that). Now they are sewn on the back of the shirt so removing them requires a seam-ripper and you risk putting a hole in the shirt. Some tags are even printed on, but they are still itchy!

    You may be allergic to the ink.

    I only buy Hanes...No tag, no itch. Also, when you cut off the tags, there remains a tiny, sharp Nylon thread that is worse than the tag.

  • I stopped getting the ones with tags. Then I started getting Hanes.

  • I looked at two of my T-shirts ....
    one Stafford, one Gildan ... both had printed tagless labels.



    But you're right ... Tags R Bad

    I have been known to take scissors to tags.  I have the most sensitive skin.  If it's an itchy tag, it's gotta go!

    I cut the tags out.  I don't like printing the tag on the garment though.  Give me the tag and I'll get rid of it if I want to.  Printed tags are hard to read too.
