November Interlude ~ Garment Tags



Most of us completely ignore garment tags.  Some of us remove them immediately.  Some read them and follow the instructions.

I am in the ignore them except for when I first buy the garment category.  They contain arcane laundry symbols that scare me.  Those symbols have meaning but there is no handy guide in the shirt pocket to tell how to wash the garment without summoning a bogey. 

The idea that one can get life advice from a garment tag never occurred to me until I began to see memes about it.  To save you some tag reading here are some of the thing your clothes want to tell you.


  • This garment was tested on animals; it did not fit.
  • Do not slap pandas.
  • After the aforementioned arcane symbols:  Or just give it to your mother, she knows what to do.
  • Can be washed by both men and women.  Share the load.
  • Keep away from fire; especially when wearing.
  • It is never so hot that you have to take off your shirt; don’t be that guy.
  • Always wear me on a first date; you will do awesome.
  • Made on earth (for those of you who are cautious about alien wear).
  • Wash this when dirty.
  • Do not wear for sumo wrestling.
  • You can dance if you want to.
I am not sure that we can navigate life via garment tags.  I do think that putting humor in such a mundane place is a pleasant surprise for those who discover it.  I also admire those who put creativity in such an overlooked place.  I am not sure that I will search for garment tags with life lessons. 

I do know that we find interesting, humorous, and encouraging things in odd places.  As I walk through this interlude between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I am searching for just that.  It is in the searching that I express my hope and determination.  It is also good practice as I have much searching yet to accomplish.

Wishing you joy in the journey,
