Brilliant!
Long, long ago, and probably in a land far, far away, a seamstress or tailor had a bright idea. It caught on and all of humanity has suffered since that fateful day. I will acknowledge that it was brilliant marketing to put a tag inside every garment to identify its maker. Over the years those tags evolved to take on larger tasks, supplying material content, sizes and fabric care. That’s actually pretty brilliant, too, having all of that info right there where it can’t get lost. But we’ve all hated them, haven’t we? Tags scratching our necks or more delicate parts of our anatomy, tags turning into hard and scratchy torture devices in the dryer. The popularity of poly threads made it even worse, those sharp little plastic ends teaching us what it must feel like to be a voodoo doll. And yet we tolerated it because well, I suppose just because that’s the way things were. Then one fine and shiny day - surely it must have been fine and shiny - another brilliant seamstress or tailor or designer or inventor or marketing genius looked through the murk and exclaimed that favorite word of brilliant people everywhere. “Duh!”
Mahalo, my anonymous and brilliant benefactor. I hope that Hanes has named a day after you. Did they give you a parade and throw a feast in your honor? I would, if I only knew who you are. I don’t question why it took centuries for what seems a simple and obvious concept to occur to someone. It’s enough for me that your stroke of genius occurred in my lifetime. I’m elated that someone at Hanes was smart enough to listen to your simple little idea. I’ve been a Hanes fan for years, but their adoption of the tagless concept has made me a customer for life. What’s more comfortable that soft, cool cotton next to my skin? Soft, cool tagless cotton!
The second photo is gratuitous. This post could have been complete without a picture of my favorite white cotton panties. The world doesn’t really need to see my underwear. It just seemed such a shame to waste the opportunity, though, since I had my white cotton panties on display anyway. It’s pure Google bait, of course.

Whoever came up with tagless t-shirts and undies deserves a medal!

Mahalo, Business IT! I like them, too.

I agree, Whim! Such a simple idea, to do away with tags, and yet it brings so much comfort to so many. The person who came up with it deserves high honors!

Google bait? How are white panties google bait? Maybe I don’t want to know…
Yeah, I noticed that the last time I bought some undies and I was ecstatic! XD I’ve had a few blouses and jeans that were done that way to. I am no longer a walking voodoo doll!

Joanna, white cotton panties have a huge fetish following. They won’t find what they want on my site, but they’ll have to click to know that.

I flat out love Hanes. They are classic reliable. The tagless shirt is a staple in my wardrobe.

I also love the tagless clothing items I’m finding these days. It’s funny how little things such as this can make a lasting impression!

wow! but its better if we got the person who wear those panties.

I’ve always liked Hanes, Carson. Since I moved to Hawaii I love them even more. Cotton is a must in tropical climates and Hanes does cotton better than anyone.

Isn’t it amazing, Jackie, that it took so long for someone to think of going tagless?

Seo, if you were a regular reader of my blog you’d know that you don’t want this blogger to model her undies for you, lol! I’m just an old broad baiting for google hits, and the mere mention of white cotton panties does that just fine without a model. It got you to look, didn’t it?

LOL Google bait! Too funny!
I have to agree with you, though. Those tagless shirts and undies are sooooo nice! I would never have thought to blog about it, though! LOL Kudos!

Mahalo, Shannon! Finally - someone who appreciates the prank!
I blog about a lot of strange little “ordinary” things. It’s what I do best, imho.
