Dress shirt packaging

Post by stlouie_lipp »

Why can't they just put them on a hanger to sell them? I don't need to go through 17 pins and 5 pieces of cardboard to open it. You can't even try them on before buying.

And that stupid plastic thing in the collar. What a waste.

This is a good rant. Why? Why would you do that?

I worked in retail through college, I [expletive] hate those shirt packages. We would have to tear them all out whenever someone wanted to try something on, and then replace it all when we close out the store.

Someday all shirts will be made to order. There will be no packaging.

There must be some New Deal-era legislation that required pins and cardboard in shirt packaging to keep steel and wood pulp prices high.

That's as good an explanation as any.

I also agree with this rant. And what about the evil chemical they put on new shirts that makes your collar into something sharp enough to remove a couple layers of skin.
