Hanes tagless T
So I bought a couple T-shirts at WalMart the other day, just after learning how white and gelatinous I look in a swimsuit. They were fitted T's from Hanes, with the printed tag in the back. I tried on a medium and a large, and decided on the smaller. It was roomy enough that even with a little shrinking, it should have still fit without being snug.
I washed both shirts, put on the black one, and discovered that instead of a tag in the neck, where I'm used to an irritant, they printed the tag into the neck and put the itchiest tag known to man in the side. I carefully tried to tear the tag out, and got most of it. There was still a small piece stuck in the seam that itched, but less. Plus, we were in a hurry, so I figured I'd cut the rest out another time. Oh, and it had shrunk so much that it was quite snug over the chest and shoulders, and smaller than I had wanted everywhere else, but not quite indecent.
When we got where we were going, I put my hand to my side to scratch and my fingers went right through the seam. Careful as I was, I must have torn some threads trying to get that tag out of my damn tagless shirt.
I left the tag in the second shirt, cutting off the corners of the it. Unfortunately, I couldn't do much for the fact that it's a thin white shirt that fits snugly, which *did* make it slightly indecent.
I've emailed my complaints to the company. If I don't get any response, I'll call and make my complaints a little more in person.
