It seems the software changed a word or 2 above.  "Remove just the part that 
shows" is what it should say.  Yikes mobiles!

Thomas, on seam tags are removed the same way I described regardless of the 
location, side, top or bottom.  You do not need to dismantle the garment to 
remove the hidden part, just debate is showing. Hence hold the tag taught and 
cut close to the seam as possible. I do this all the time! No rips runs nor 
errors...perfect!

I'm talking about the big ol' MUSA tag; I thought I remembered it being 
sewn on with red thread. Whatever color the thread just stick to ripping 
out the stitching holding the tag on and you'll be fine; it is completely 
separate (on all MUSA stuff) from anything important.

2015-09-16 Thread Thomas Lynn Skean
I'm afraid we're talking about different tags or shirts here. The only red 
thread on this shirt is holding on the buttons (and not all that well, but 
that's a separate issue :)). My shirt has two tags of which I'm aware. One 
is the red/white/blue MUSA tag, and it does not touch me when I'm wearing 
the shirt. The other is the "content tag" sewn onto (into?) the interior of 
the left side seam of the shirt's trunk. (Interestingly, onto the tag is 
stitched the "spare button", held on to the tag with red thread.) It is the 
content tag which I can feel when I'm wearing the shirt and which I'd like 
to remove.

It may be (and I would hope that it is) that the stitching holding the 
content tag onto the shirt is separate from shirt's structural stitching. 
But it sure doesn't look that way to me.

Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean

 Getting rid of part of the tag seems as though it would simply leave

 Does anyone have experience removing the tag without creating a hole in

[RBW] Re: non-destructive complete removal of tag in MUSA moleskin shirt - anyone know how?

2015-09-16 Thread Garth
I remove tags all the time .  I don't know exactly where you are speaking 
of but there is really only 2 types of sewn tags, on seam or sewn on fabric 
independent of any seam.

For the on seam kind , I hold the garment in my lap , color up facing me. I 
hold the tag with my left hand , first 2 fingers nearest the seam at the 
end facing me. My right hand folds down the collar and back.  I use a pair 
of small Fiskars #4 detail scissors like these 
http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-4-Inch-Detail-Scissors/dp/B000OQKNCU .   
You'll notice holding the tag like this you can see both top and bottom 
fabric easily .  With scissors in right hand start cutting the tag as close 
as you feel comfortable right up against the edge of both the collar and 
fabric. At first go slow if you don't feel confident, and make small cuts 
instead of one continuous one.  You'll get the hang of it.  About halfway 
through I reverse the fabric and start at the the other end and proceed the 
same.  Bravo well done !

The independently sewn on tags are easy. Just use a seam ripper from the 
tag side , using the tag as a buffer . Start slowly and proceed pulling 
gently the thread loose. Easy peasy !

Yeah the stitching for the shirt itself separate from the tag. Only rip out
