Labels in clothes

I find the labels at the side of a top much worse as, when you sit or turn a certain way, they suddenly make themselves felt (as opposed to having been aware of them all of the time) and it feels like a spider crawling on me!!! It's horrible and I've ended up checking everything I'm wearing just to be sure but I still can't relax after it. It's usually that experience that reminds me to cut the labels off. Wish I could just remember to cut off he labels when the top is new and unworn yet but I rarely buy clothes and seem to always forget until the next time it happens.   

My problem with clothes with printed labels is that even though they don't have anything at the neck, they locate the cloth label lower at the side and that digs into my ribs and itches and drives me nuts. I honestly don't know if it's any better.

I do not like labels in clothes.

But I also do not like to take them off.

So, I am stuck with labels..

yea i dont like the stuff where the picture is "painted" on either, but there are plenty plain cut clothes that are simply dyed in different ways, including with pictures:) One of my favorite shirts is a simple white v-neck whith  dyed deep pink flower motives on it i found at a marketplace. There is no texture difference in the shirt opposed to if itd been just plain white, but looks sooo much better. Naturally it had a label in it which i had to remove, but so worth it in my oppinion:) Ofc he wouldnt be wearing flowery ones, just saying that its very possible some shirts you can find in normal supermarkets may well do the job with little effort, just need to check how the labeling is attached in them:)

thanks Moonlight, he is also very sensitive to any motifs on the surface and will only have plain t shirts with no writing on. Its actually my problem not his as he doesnt really care what it looks like as long as he is comfortable . Its only an issue on specail occasions like this.

Take care and thanks

Thankkyou for that tip mld . bet wishes

yea as i said i sensitive too but dont want to be even more limited to what i can wear as i already am. Ofc when buying labeld clothes i have to make sure its an easy to remove label without any rough or raised edges for that, and i often have to also remove the extra sowing thread by thread, but it does improve the selection hugely. I also find that i dislike clothes with what i call on the surface printing, which is like a thin layer of paint on the cloth, as that is a change of texture in the cloth and tends to feel alot cooler than the rest, which i also dislike.

Hi, I am the same about labels in clothes.  I find that some clothes at BhS have printed information on the inside - ie. no labels, no roughness etc

Oh thanks for that tip I forgot about that shop I will give that a try, thanks stateofindependance. 

I am super-sensitive to scratchy materials and labels, and have given up looking in most high street shops. Usually shop in TK Maxx or outdoor pursuits shops. You can find good quality shirts in TK if you have the time to look (or are lucky) and the outdoor pursuits/sports shops are more likely to have the printed labels. If a label scratches I just remove it - everything goes in the wash at the same temperature anyhow, as I use a launderette, and I rarely even look at what is printed on it.

thanks moonlight, he is so sensative that where the labels have been removed if the stitching is raised he wont wear it. When he was younger he would cut big holes in his clothes at school! Thanks for the advice though,

Hi. In most cases labels are pretty easy to remove, which would leave a much wider option of clothing he can wear and simply make a list to sit on or near the washing machine(preferrably in a palstic pocket, about what temperatures which clothes to wash under) and can group by temperature group to make it easyer, for example

Clothing                                  temperature     Tumbledry   Ironing        

Black Spiderman T-Shirt               40C                Y                 Y   

Nike Navy sports shorts                40C                Y                 Y

Coral and blue placid check shirt    30C               N                Low

Sand bug print shorts                    30C               Low             Low

or something along the lines?

I am also rather sensitive and tend to remove labels, though i must admit i dont tend to keep track of the info either, i simplay wash like this- jeans, socks, underwear at 40C and rest 30C, tumbledry everything exept delicate looking stuff:D Makes life so much easyer ^^
