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.

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....

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?

LOL! It's good that you have nothing more important to worry about :-)

Mary,if label bothers you it's no fun. 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.

I would have done too if that had been explained but it was said that they
were 'annoying' - not the same thing at all.

Well, not in English English :-)

I'm genuinely sorry if I've caused offence ...

Mary, It takes a lot more than that to offend me. I was just pointing
out that this person was being made uncomfortable. Perhaps that would
have been a better way for the OP to express what was happening.

"Better" clothes have the labels in the side seams. 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." Works
for me.

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.
