GET RID OF THE SEWN-IN TAGS!!!!

I hate those things; they rub my neck raw and when I try to carefully snip them off, I end up slipping and cutting through the fabric.

 

When are they going to switch to printed tags? They have them on some clothing items now; why can't they have printed tages on all their garments????

Use a seam ripper.  Much easier as well as more safe.

I so agree!! Hate those things and sometimes it destroys the fabric to remove them. At least, make them easy to remove if you insist on using!

Some things you just can’t print on inside. I have a cotton knit sweater that I had to snip the tag out because it was so irritating and of course I clipped one of the yarns. 

 

The downside of having it printed is there are sometimes when I want to know what size I have and the printing has finally washed off like in underwear. A lot of my logo that doesn’t have a tag the printed size is gone.

In cases where they absolutely MUST have an attached tag, maybe they could attach it to an inside seam or something. I think someone already mentioned this and I agree that it's a good idea.

I use mine everytime I take out a seam, or tag. Tags don't really bother me. My mom cut every tag out, of every item she owned. I like the tag for size reference, as I  sometimes order up or down, depending on reviews. I rarely remove a tag from the back.

Everytime I give a review on clothing with those horrible fancy, scratchy tags, I mention about tagless or at least putting them somewhere else but at the neckline. Gold metallic thread ones are the worst. I do not like cutting them out in case I want to donate or sell at a later time. Wish designers would listen to this complaint.
