How to remove a glued-in shirt label
Can anyone suggest a way to remove a glued-in label in the back of a
polo short? I was given a very nice polo shirt for Christmas. Unfortunately, it has a rather annoying rubberized label glued in the back where the sewn-in labels usually are. I find all labels annoying and I always cut them out. This one glued in and I cannot even get a corner free. The label says it is a Cutter & Buck shirt and it also says CBDryTec. The short is made in Thailand. I would appreciate any suggestions. If this is not the right place to ask this, please advise. -- Using Forte Agent 4.2 |

If this is not the right place to ask this, please advise. You might try heating the label *very carefully* with a medium iron, and seeing if that will allow you to lift a corner then peel it off. Or, try a variety of solvents/fingernail polish removers, etc. Or, purchase a small length of satin ribbon *just* a bit wider than the label, and hand sew it over the label. If none of that works, donate it.... Beverly |

If this is not the right place to ask this, please advise. You might try heating the label *very carefully* with a medium iron, and seeing if that will allow you to lift a corner then peel it off. Would you put the iron directly on the label or put something, like a piece of paper, between the label and the iron? Or, try a variety of solvents/fingernail polish removers, etc. I thought about that, but was afraid it would damage or discolor the fabric. I suppose I could test a small place on the shirttail. Is there one product that you would recommend? Or, purchase a small length of satin ribbon *just* a bit wider than the label, and hand sew it over the label. If none of that works, donate it....

I get a bad rash from them because of whatever is in them. I understand the problem very well. I have great sympathy for the OP. I remove all label as soon as I'm sure a RTW fits. If I put a label in anything I make I try to put in on the outside in a spot that doesn't show or I just leave them off. Juno |

Well, not in English English :-) I'm genuinely sorry if I've caused offence ... Mary |

I hate labels in the back of the neck, poking and itching all the time. I'm a big fan of Gilda Radner's "I base my fashion taste on what doesn't itch."
