Sometimes clothing labels can be a little scratchy. Our Reverse Gear label is silky but it’s fair to say that our size/fabric/care label is a stiffer material. It’s not always a problem by any means, but I have heard of a couple of people deciding to cut the care label out of their own clothing.
You have to be careful if you want to attempt that - you wouldn’t want to damage the seam in the process but also don’t want to leave an irritating stub. The other point to keep in mind is that once it’s done, it’s done.
If you have ever removed a label from your clothing, you may then have found yourself wondering what it said - “what fabric is this?”, “how should I dry this?” and so on. The following might help.
These are the fabric labels we’ve used, by garment:
|
Many of our tops feature this label, confirming that they use the Micro Quick Dry technical fabric. On the men’s side, that means Boab, Blue Ash, Belah, Silver Maple, Chevron and Chevron Mesh, Team RG, Cafe Ole and Citrus Market, Jazzed and Phoenix short sleeve and long sleeve jerseys. It would also apply to previous Baobab and Mulga jerseys too. On the women’s side, it includes Team RG, Red Maple, Cafe Ole and Citrus Market, Banksia, Sassafras and Wilga jerseys. |
|
This label is from our Basswood short liners. They are mostly polyester but with some spandex too, which is what you want from underwear. |
|
This is the label from our Breeze vests for men and women. They have nylon fronts, for light weight with wind and water resistance, and polyester backs, for coolness when reclined. |
|
This label is in our men’s Ironbark and women’s Corkwood shorts. They’re a mix of nylon and lycra - perfect for cycling shorts. |
|
This is from our Sheoak sport bra top and previously on our Firewheel camisole top, too. They feature DryTech, lycra and Micro Quick Dry fabrics. |
|
This is the label from our men’s Moonah over-pants. The fronts are nylon where you want some weather protection, while the backs are a polyester and lycra mix. |
So while we believe that the vast majority of wearers will never have an issue with these care labels, if you do decide to try to cut them out, you can always come back here to see what they said.
