I applaud every garment manufacturer that sews a tiny same-colored loop near the neck of a shirt or near the waist of pants where the tag can be led through it with a piece of string that doesn’t pierce the fabric and can be effortlessly cut off.

Bonus points if it’s just a cotton thread holding a piece of cheap cardboard and no plastic is involved.

Even better, loop the tag string through the back-of-neck label, itself preferably barely basted on.

Gives that damn thing a reason to exist and reminds you to get it off immediately. Instead of finding yourself desperately stripping in the bathroom and hacking it off with nail scissors when the itching drives you crazy.
