Last weekend I did a couple loads of laundry. This isn’t particularly earth-shattering or anything, but it does play a part in my story. As I was folding the clothes to put them away, something occurred to me.

More and more clothing is coming tagless.

This is awesome. Tags are always annoying, and people who have very sensitive skin are always bothered by them. Also, they often have a habit of sticking out, making you look silly without even knowing. Sure, they contain information such as the type of fabric as well as care instructions, but if people are cutting them off for the sake of comfort or fashion, then the information is lost.

Enter the tagless clothing. Someone finally figured out how that they can just print the info on the inside of the clothing, where the tag would normally be. Now the wearer has all the pertinent information without the annoying tag! Sure, the writing may wear off after awhile, but writing on tags eventually fade as well, and at least this way the info has a chance of sticking around awhile since it won’t be cut off.

The only question left in my mind is, why on earth did it take so long for someone to figure this out??
