Denim & Co. annoying labels

TW — Sun, 14 Jan 2018 00:34:36 GMT

I love Denim & Co. clothes but hate the scratchy numerous labels in their garments. There is no way I can wear the clothes unless I remove the labels. Some of them are sewn into the seams so they can't be removed. Others are sewn in so tight and re-stiched several times that I cut a hole in the clothes trying to get rid of the labels. Especially the D&Co is huge, stiff and scratchy. Why ruin great clothes with stupid labels. I wonder if other people detest labels as much as I do?

If your eyes (like mine!) aren't what they used to be, have your tailor or dry cleaner remove the labels that bother you.

I agree and the printed on labels tend to rub off making it uncomfortable too. That can be as itchy as the labels!

I wish all brands would remove the sewn in labels!!! I would like to see no labels in the neckline of clothing. Labels could be placed on a side seam toward the bottom of the garment.

@libbyannE- I honestly don't know anyone who has a tailor, and I definitely don't have one. I rarely have the need to drop anything off at a dry cleaner either since I'm retired and only buy clothes that I can wash at home. I think the better idea is what has been requested, and that's for D&C to stop using those sewn-in labels that drive a lot of us crazy! LOL!

I hate those scratchy labels. They are usually stitched so tight they're almost impossible to remove without doing some damage to the garment. Definitely annoying.

I bet it's cheaper to put sewn in labels than to have the label printed. Skinny tees also has the worst labels on the Q, they use that awful nylon thread that lterally cuts into the skin and very difficult to remove. I've stopped purchasing as a result.

@TW. I don’t purchase clothing w/ scratchy labels. My other pet peeve are these labels for care instructions written like hyragyliphics (sp?)...pics of washers, maybe with an X through it, etc. If I can’t figure out how to launder the garment, no sale.

Most labels don't bother me & I don't like cutting them out. My mom snipped off every label in every item she owned. In her later yrs, when I often had to shop for her, it was irritating not to know her size.

You all should see Fabletics labels! They are 4 inches long!

@Shanus You know one time I got a magnetic chart with those crazy symbols on it and I have to say it helps me. I keep on the front of my washer. I think it came with a bottle of Tide or Wisk. Try going on line, I bet you can find one.

I attack those pesky labels with my trusty seam ripper. Perfect tool for this....just slide that thin pointy end under the tight stitching and it's toast. Find at fabric store, ebay or amazon. A must have.

@silkyk

I have one or more of those seam rippers that you pictured.

However, there are times even that cannot remove a label without damaging the clothing or tearing out a seam/hem that holds down a facing.

There have been times my husband has remarked that my back was covered with scratches/cuts from threads from a label that I thought I had fully removed.

Sometimes, one of those "invisible threads" remain and they cut into my skin. That's when I just stop wearing that item!

I hate, hate, hate labels!

This is a great topic! I really hope that someone who could do something about this sees this thread!

I also hate scratchy labels and almost all labels at the neck are scratchy and annoying! Sometimes I'll put something new on and forget about the label until I start moving and realize just how much it's driving me crazy. Then I'll have to take the top off and cut out the label....I can't stand them!

Another poster suggested placing them in the seam on the side near the bottom....EXCELLENT suggestion!

I agree. I detest them. I swear some of the manufactures use fishing line.
