          @Alex Does the circle in column 2 indicate the Red W is present, or you don't know yet?

          Take the dive...

                      @Oroccoco I've searched but been unable to find an answer. What is your process for removing those tags? How do you cut the tag to the seam without cutting the seam? I'd love the stealth look of no branding but I don't want to ruin a $500 shirt!

                        @denimdad The trick is you cut the tag itself and slowly remove the tag from around the stitches leaving the stitches intact.

                          @goosehd Right, that much I understand. I must admit that I don't quite understand how to remove the tag from around the stitches without cutting the stitch. Seems next to impossible, but I realize it's not because people do it.

                            @denimdad It will be much easier on you if you cut the tag as close to the stitching as possible without cutting the stitching. I really don't know how to explain it better.

                              ...if you use a seam ripper, you should be able to get fairly close to the stitches as it's like a mini scalpel blade. The trick would to be to go as slow as you can and take care in not catching any of those stitches.

                              Hopefully this makes sense.

                                part of the trick when i've done this is to tease away the woven fabric from the tag itself. a fine needle usually makes quick work at this. once you get to a certain point, there will be a few fibers holding on and the tag can very gently be tugged away from the pocket's constructional stitching.

                                    @goosehd I finally worked up the courage to try this, and yes, it totally works with a seam ripper. I also used tweezers to pluck away at the threads and bits. Thanks @Mister_Brue for the tip.

                                    For anyone else trying this, the key is that the label is made of a much more fragile fabric than the stitches or the denim, at least on my IHSH-293-OD. Just have to slowly and carefully fray the label and it will gradually break away as you use the seam ripper to break up the threads and pluck away at them with tweezers.
