The Red W

@Alex thanks for the info!

@Alex fantastic! Thanks again

@Alex Does the circle in column 2 indicate the Red W is present, or you don't know yet?

“W”hat a joke…

@Oroccoco I've searched but been unable to find an answer. What is your process for removing those tags? How do you cut the tag to the seam without cutting the seam? I'd love the stealth look of no branding but I don't want to ruin a $500 shirt!

@goosehd Right, that much I understand. I must admit that I don't quite understand how to remove the tag from around the stitches without cutting the stitch. Seems next to impossible, but I realize it's not because people do it.
-
...if you use a seam ripper, you should be able to get fairly close to the stitches as it's like a mini scalpel blade. The trick would to be to go as slow as you can and take care in not catching any of those stitches.
Hopefully this makes sense.

part of the trick when i've done this is to tease away the woven fabric from the tag itself. a fine needle usually makes quick work at this. once you get to a certain point, there will be a few fibers holding on and the tag can very gently be tugged away from the pocket's constructional stitching.

This is very helpful! Thanks for these tips y’all

@Oaktavia Beautiful shirt!

@denimdad tweezers can also be useful in this regard, speaking from a tailor’s point of view, not having removed IH labels specifically.
