Are the labels making you itchy? Does it annoy you when they hang out? Don't you want to be a walking ad? If you don't think you are wearing someone else's name on the back of your jeans, consider removing the labels.

Steps

1. 1 Examine the label.
   • Is it sewn in or attached to the outside?
   • Is it the same seam that holds the clothes together, or not?
   • Is it a fabric or paper-like label?
2. 2 Cut the overhanging tags with scissors. Do not pull or tug on them, you can stretch clothes or create a hole that will grow larger over time. Inspect the clothing carefully and remove any stickers, pins, or other packaging.
3. 3 Cut off the label. If the problem is that the tag hangs out and attracts attention, then simply cut it with scissors, being careful not to cut a single thread in the fabric. The same is best done if the tag is sewn directly into the seam that holds the garment together. The disadvantage of this method is that you can leave small corners near the seam and they will continue to irritate the skin.
   • Sometimes it is possible to cut off the label right next to the seam and pull the remnants out from under the threads. Observe carefully and try not to cut off anything extra.
4. 4 Use a seam ripper to remove the label. Using a seam ripper, carefully cut the stitches one at a time to remove the tag. Be careful not to damage the surrounding fabric or the desired seams.
5. 5 Using tweezers, pull out the remaining thread after removing the tag.

Tips

• Memorize at least all the washing and care instructions for the fabric listed on the label before you cut it.
• Instructions that don’t itch. The instructions don't always itch. If labels you hate because they make you itch, look for clothes that don't have labels. More and more manufacturers are silkscreening care instructions on the back of the collar. Now this technique is usually used for lingerie, but more and more buyers prefer it and are looking for products with such markings, so it is likely that it will be used in the production of other clothes.

Warnings

• The seam ripper is a sharp tool. Be careful not to cut yourself or damage the fabric.
• If the tag that you want to remove is sewn on the outside, then either do not remove it, or remove it while the clothes are still new, otherwise the fabric around it will have time to fade more than the fabric under the tag, and a stain will remain after it.
• Don't pull or tug on the label. You can break the seams or stretch the garment.
