    I just buy plain color t shirts to begin with, this looks like a lot of work and risk nicking the fabric. Plus, they’re cheaper, too.

      It’s really easy and takes like five minutes. Everyone should have a seam ripper. Not just to remove brands but also annoying tags. Also I imagine most on lemmy don’t care about this, but if you buy a suit coat/blazer/whatever you’ll need a seam ripper to open up the pockets.

        I don’t know, it takes 0 minutes and 0 dollars in tools to buy a t-shirt without branding. Plus the t-shirt itself is cheaper.

        I get shirts from tshirtwholesaler.com, there may be a hyphen in there somewhere. My preferred t-shirt is next level 6210, fantastic shirt, soft, great fit. There’s a couple other companies I like too.

        Anyway, the whole point of this is I buy like a dozen or 20 shirts, they end up costing like 4 or 5 bucks a pop, max, and I wear them til they die. They’re in various colors. Sometimes my wife will press some odd design onto them with her Cricut and whatnot.

        I’m a big fan of band tshirts, but the majority I find are terrible quality shirts with sometimes just a generic logo. So I like to get creative with a shirt of my choosing.

        I buy mines on Amazon, I restock every black Friday, between 6 and 8 euros, depending on the color/sale.

        I also wear a lot of merch t-shirts, but if I get a free t-shirt I find the advertising fair, and it’s usually for things I like anyway.

    I do this with wrangler too, I actually appreciate they make it simple to remove, instead of stitching it into a seam. Wrangler makes the only 100% cotton lightweight work/cargo pant that I can find. The rest are synthetic.

    I share the same sentiment towards corporate. I’d also remove/conceal big brand logos like this when I can, or I’d shop for things without visible logos to begin with.

    I do, however, like to wear band merch. Bands that are just as happy to see me as I’m happy to see them. People I can go and talk to at the merch stand. People who, funded through merch and shows, will have the means to record another album.

      I’m a band shirt guy as well. Only beef I have is so many of them are Gildan and feel like a burlap sack. Sometimes I’ll buy the shirt, and then steal the design and print it on a shirt of my choosing. Kinda like ripping a DVD I own to keep digitally. It’s fine. It’s fine!

    Yup, I do this too. Have an old work half-zip fall jacket that I’d like to wear, but it had one of those large fully sewed in patches. Now 75% of it is gone, but it’s a bit of a project and I’ve mangled the entire area in the process, so I’ll need to choose a new patch if I want it to look nicer.

    Good thing you really censored that logo so no one will know it’s wranglers you’re advertising for in this post.

        I got shit for wanting the dealership stuff debadged off my car. I got what I wanted in the end but having to argue for it was annoying

          Those badges are more an east coast or midwest thing. Out west, they just give you a dealership license plate frame that most people shitcan the moment they get home. When I first saw badges in a new car when I was in PA in the late 1980’s I thought it was the most bizarre thing I had ever seen.

            That was in RI. Interesting. I didn’t know it was regional. I’m on the west coast now and come to think of it I haven’t seen that

    I’m glad whoever made this did such a good job censoring out the brand, I might have thought it was subtle advertising otherwise.

      Yeah I’m sure the kids will be flocking to the Wrangler store after seeing that Lemmy post, it was definitely worth their marketing execs developing such a sneaky ad campaign

      I also try to. But those shirts are 100% cotton and a fair bit thicker than what you get from other brands. They remind of pre-enshittified Carhartt shirts. They’re kinda hard to pass up over something you can cut off in a minute or two.

        Tshirtwholesaler, try a few different shirt brands and styles out. There’s so many that are plain white (or color) tees, only potential branding is against your neck on the inside of the shirt. I actually dontind having something there, because sometimes someone’s like “Hey, what kind of shirt is that, it’s soft, I like the cut, it wears nice,” and then I direct them to the tag or print at the inside collar for information.

        checkout shirtspace, or any site that lets you order shirts to print on. They’re usually a few dollars each and you can get them in bulk in different colors. Different fabrics, styles, weights, etc. Literally shopping for tshirts by specs instead of look.

            Don’t be so cynical, lemmy doesn’t have the traffic. This could just be someone sharing info. I need 100% cotton shirts for work safety (I work around sparks, they’ll melt/fuse to plastic clothes) and they get harder to find every year. My coworkers and i talk about this stuff more than you might think and none of us are getting paid

            I wish I was, then I could buy more of their shirts. You want to hear about other stuff I’m a shill for? Too bad if you don’t. If you haven’t already invest in a bidet, they’re like $30 and are a massive game changer in b-hole cleaning.

      Sometimes they’re sneaky and hide the branding. Like I bought some socks and the logo was not visible without opening the package.

      (so I gave them to my cousin, he was like: whatever, free socks.)

        Very smart, giving money to a company and not using their product because it has a logo nobody will ever see…

          Heh heh, my cousin was the same way, they were like: is the logo itchy? Does it make the socks less comfy? But I was like: look, I know the way I think, I know that when I wake up and get dressed I don’t want a bunch of corporate logos screaming in my face, it’s just the way my mind works.

    One thing I learned from punk rock: it’s OK to cut things off your clothes, or sew things on, or attach things with safetypins, etc. In fact, it’s encouraged.

    As you advertise for them to social media… That’s a great cover-up of the brand name you did there 👍 really did a good job 😂
