Lables on Jackets

I've seen this on the T for some time and back in college and I think it is a trademark of the rube or fashion backward. When sportcoats, suits, overcoats, or other business casual jackets/coats are sold (you'd definately see this in a department store) the left sleeve of a jacket has the lable of the designer loosley sewn on right above the cuff. The idea behind this is that when looking through a rack of suits, you can see the lable right on the sleeve rather than looking inside each jacket to see who designed it.

A good sales person should take this off for you, but I've seen many people leave this label on - assuming there is some cache that needs to be advertised by your suiting or coat. Of course, these people are rarely well-dressed in regards to the rest of their ensemble, but this really pisses me off to the point where I've almost said something to people about it - right there in public!

Back in college there was a kid Sang. Sang had a DKNY suit and left that tag on. I told him, "You're supposed to take that off, that is why it is barely sewn on." Of course, he wasn't going to listen to me, and left it on like a jerk. Sang had an excuse though. As a college freshman that was probably the first suit he had ever bought or even worn, so how could he know? Working people taking the T to work everyday should know better. At the very least take instruction from the best dressed men of our day. James Bond never had this lable on his jacket, not on Diddy's jackets either, or any runway modesl for suitmakers, or anyone!

Instead of these fashion offenders wearing a lable to communicate their style, all they end up communicating is their massive lack thereof!
