I hate the booklet length tags inside the sides of garments — usually at the waist. I cut them out after confirming that the laundering instructions aren’t anything unusual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing/page/2#post-2342027 Thu, 19 Oct 2023 17:06:52 +0000 The Cat 2342027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My approach has been very similar to yours, Carla.</p> <p>I look forward to reading all the comments when I have more time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing/page/2#post-2342010 Thu, 19 Oct 2023 13:01:00 +0000 Mainelady 2342010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tags in the back of the neck do not usually bother me, so I will leave those. However, so of the care labels are so long, they annoy me. Once I have read them, I will remove them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing/page/2#post-2341948 Wed, 18 Oct 2023 01:34:47 +0000 Karie 2341948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I clip them all out, except ones that state the garment must be hand washed or dry cleaned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing/page/2#post-2341934 Tue, 17 Oct 2023 18:53:54 +0000 Kyle 2341934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m very sensitive to anything even the slightest bit scratchy or itchy, and it seems to be getting worse. Any tag that’s touching skin is removed. My seam ripper is absolutely essential. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341929 Tue, 17 Oct 2023 16:42:49 +0000 Suz 2341929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am impressed at your forethought in saving tags in bags, Carla!&nbsp;</p> <p>I leave some on. I also take some of in part -- e.g. Zara tags which have multiple layers in different languages -- I either take those out entirely or snip down the length, prune the layers. And some -- the really bothersome ones -- I take out. I definitely dislike them on scarves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341922 Tue, 17 Oct 2023 14:24:20 +0000 cat2 2341922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. I leave most of them in, because my husband and I each do some laundry and it minimizes the laundry accidents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341883 Tue, 17 Oct 2023 07:44:57 +0000 Star (Lise) 2341883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always removed all tags, they drove me nuts.&nbsp; However since I started 2nd hand shopping I stopped this.&nbsp; I like to see the tags when shopping and so now appreciate the need to leave them in.&nbsp; The nuts thing may have been psychological :).&nbsp; I certainly cut out those that are like small notepads!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341880 Tue, 17 Oct 2023 07:05:15 +0000 lyn67 2341880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big labels always got removed-scarves especially-but has happen to me what Roberta said!:-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341875 Tue, 17 Oct 2023 02:14:22 +0000 Echo 2341875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I generally remove tags. The ones in the side of a garment don't usually bother me, but those in the collar almost invariably irritate or flip outward and show unintentionally. My size is fairly consistent, and I know what I tend to wear in different brands. It is unlikely that I will forget the size. As for wash instructions, I wash almost all of my clothes on cold and air dry, so that is generally not relevant for me, either. I very much appreciate the printed tags that some althleisure wear contains! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341863 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 22:36:47 +0000 Style Fan 2341863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only remove them if they are irritating me.&nbsp; Labels on scarves are removed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341855 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 21:00:10 +0000 Chiara 2341855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it better if the laundry tag is sewn in a side seam- back of neck is always irritating!<br /> And then, why the huge labels on scarves?!? Hard to remove without leaving a stitch impression visible… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341842 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 18:50:16 +0000 Roberta 2341842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I learned the hard way by cutting out a couple of tags in sweaters, that I can't always tell which is the front and which is the back after the tag is gone! I suppose if I can't tell it doesn't make a difference. I tend to cut out the size tag if it's a separate little tag sticking out from the brand label. Those really bother my neck. But now I feel bad for the poor folks at Salvation Army trying to figure out what size my clothes are so they can put them in the right section of the store! I never thought of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341834 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 16:58:35 +0000 Cardiff girl 2341834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually leave them in unless they are very irritating or visible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341827 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 16:42:46 +0000 Angie 2341827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cut the tags off bras and scarves and leave the rest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341823 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 15:26:00 +0000 unfrumped 2341823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d like to leave in because I’m a fabric content junkie, and sometimes want to refer to exact %’s to compare with maybe an apparent duplicate, or if a maker changes its formula over time. </p> <p>But over time the tags have become larger, multiples together, and so more annoying. I do buy fabric blends, which can include weird combinations of 3 fibers, but still the breakdown of garments is generally, regular machine wash vs hand wash or very delicate machine. And then, drying for cotton T’s and shorts vs maybe 2- 5 min low dry then hang or lay flat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341822 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 15:10:33 +0000 Anonymous 2341822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remove white tags on scarves.

Sometimes there's just a sharp corner or edge on a label that I can shave off with sharp scissors. I buy a lot of duplicates from ebay or Poshmark, so I do try to avoid removing labels unless it's necessary. I want to remember what brand and size things are! If there's unusual care instructions I'll save them but usually I know what to do with certain fibers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341803 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 13:24:15 +0000 LaPed 2341803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost always leave them in, just in case I decide to resell/donate the item in question. Every now and then I encounter a tag so stiff and scratchy it has to come out, but it seems to be rarer and rarer. A lot of my clothes these days come with a printed-on label rather than sewn-in.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341780 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 08:58:24 +0000 bella 2341780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer to leave them on when I can because I like to look at care instructions before throwing a garment in the washing machine. Unfortunately, some brands have huge tags, almost like a cloth pamphlet (looking at you Inditex group!), so I have no choice but to remove them. I also prefer to remove tags on gym clothes and scarves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341777 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 07:40:35 +0000 Sal 2341777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mostly leave them in similar to Bijou and Jenni.&nbsp; The ones on scarves are the most annoying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341775 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 06:35:45 +0000 bj1111 2341775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ah e sensitive skin and remove remove remove </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341762 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 03:24:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 2341762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Bijou. Most of my tags stay in, it just feels more complete to me. The occasional one that can be seen ( eg because the garment is sheer) will get removed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341758 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 03:05:47 +0000 Bijou 2341758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rarely remove tags - but if they are scratchy particular on the back of my neck, out they come. I have noticed that some bras have huge tags and those get cut out. I am about 90% tags stay in, 10% tags removed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341749 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 01:33:02 +0000 Anonymous 2341749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A good friend’s mother removed tags especially on bras it made things hard to prepare her for her funeral not knowing what size to get. If you cut out tags, keep a list of sizes in a handy place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341748 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 01:28:28 +0000 Indigoprint 2341748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like labels for the reasons you provide.<br /> I tolerate them as I need to remember the fiber content and washing instructions. I tried to clip and manage in a seperate file system but that did not work for me. If they bother me, I try to sew them more discretely into the seam. I have also relocated them to another less annoying part of the garment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341739 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 00:10:48 +0000 Irina 2341739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remove if it bothers me. Not a lot of my clothes requires me to check washing instructions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341738 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 00:09:00 +0000 SarahD8 2341738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will leave them in unless they bother me but they probably bother me 80% of the time so out comes the seam ripper!</p> <p>Actually it's really tags in the back of tops or along the side seam of tops that tend to bother me. Other tags can more often stay.</p> <p>Like phoebe and slim cat I don't have much trouble remembering what a given garment is made of or the laundry instructions so I don't worry too much about that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/managing-tags-inside-clothing#post-2341737 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 23:58:49 +0000 Dee 2341737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the most part these labels will stay unless they are really bothersome, but all scarf labels are carefully removed. </p>
