Why, if you don't mind me asking, is the stitch that holds the tag to the body of the shirt stronger than any other stitch or hem in it?
There is a limit, people, to my patience.

@GeePawHill It's the same law of physics that makes paper the strongest at the perforation.
I could rip the buttons off this shirt. I could tear the pocket off it.
But I have to *cut* the tag.

@GeePawHill The whole stitch across the back of the neck is typically reinforced to help the shirt hold its form, but I consider it malicious that that's where they stick the tag. I've seen tags along side seams instead, or even stuff printed into the fabric (mininal).
And when I cut it, it's going to leave a little sharp itchy nub that, to be honest, will send the shirt to the free table.
And someone *did* this. They did it on *purpose*.
And you can ask, how do you sleep at night?
And the answer is: on silk sheets, with no tags.
That's always the answer.

@GeePawHill as a last resort I've sometimes ripped out that length of stitching (well, cut the stitches really) and re-sewn without the tag. Not pretty, but it works.
(You take your clothes to the free table, right?
RIGHT?)

@[email protected] I can take a guess but: what's the free table in this context?
