How many shirts, t-shirts, sweaters and tops have you ruined trying to get that itchy label out? I'm one of those princesses who can't stand those things touching the back of my neck. It seems that the cheaper the garment the stronger and more indestructible the thread they use to sew in their faux designer label. Gap, Banana Republic and Talbot's are some of the worst offenders in my closet. If you know anything about sewing, they backstitch several times on the ends to make sure the stitch doesn't unravel. I've poked holes in at least 3 sweaters with my very precise seam ripper trying to find a way into the label stitches.
Let these manufacturers know that the discomfort far out-weighs the cachet of wearing their label. I know what I'm wearing and I don't care if other people do. All of my really good things have labels that were sewn in with a very light stitch.
Clothing manufacturers, GET OVER YOURSELVES!!! Comfort trumps arrogance!!!!
