Does anyone else wear clothes inside out sometimes because the labels are so annoying?
Or does anyone have a better way of getting round this?
I've tried cutting them off before but that's even worse then because they're spiky. :?

I've been getting tagless clothes lately :P the size and everything is just written on the inside of the shirt. Before that, I either just tried to ignore it or cut it off altogether :)

I just rip out labels. cutting has always made it worse. The only problem is it puts holes in the shirt. Inside out seems like a better idea

All the stuff I buy doesn't have labels. You may want to switch to a brand that doesn't have labels.

I do this, then you can take away all the label.

...get a seam ripper or a small pair of embroidery scissors....helps...I do this all the time with tags and those utterly annoying shoulder pads they had in the 80's that made you look like a linebacker from the football team.

I used to cut away the whole top of the T-shirt(all I wore)I would also cut off the sleeves and some time the bottoms.(I was a "punk" so it was considered exceptable.)

Other kind of things you can use a sem ripper and cut the attaching thread but some are sewn right into the seem and you will have to sew the hole closed.Sounds like a lot of work but it is worth it because if you dont,the whole thing will eventually unravel and you will have a big hole around the collar.

At 43,I have actually gotton desensitized to them on most days....some days I still notice them but it is less often then as a kid through my 20's.

I need the labels on shirts in order to know how to stick my head through the neckhole, and avoid having the shirt on backwards 50% of the time.

lol I put clothes on backwards sometimes. Or my shoes on the wrong feet. Or I fasten the buttons wrong so one side of my shirt ends up longer than the other.

Clothing lables don't annoy me, but I'm notorious for putting my clothes on inside-out or backwards because I don't pay attention LOL. :oops:
