Where do you buy your clothes? I have shorts from Polo, Brooks
Brothers, Nordstrom, Macy*s, etc. They all have labels in the back. I
have a PhD is label removing. I am a wizard with a seam picker! ;-)

I agree, but it eliminates a lot of clothes.

I've just noticed it in some few of my clothes. I'd have to go through
the closet to look for them, but I do know it was on pricier things
bought in boutiques, not large stores.

The other thing I hate is that monofilament thread that invariably is
cut so that the end pokes me in a tender place.

That's a great motto, I think I'll write that down in calligraphy and pin it
to my wardrobe. ;-))

I have a sort of expanded variation on that -- I base my fashion taste
on what I can put on and then forget about the rest of the day, meaning
that I won't feel physically, mentally, or emotionally uncomfortable
wearing it and won't have to check it throughout the day to make sure it
hasn't shifted into something that is no longer reasonably flattering.

Well, I didn't say that this is the #1 problem in my life, but I would
like to get that label off. Is that OK? If you have any suggestions,
I'd like to hear them.
