school shirts...where did you put the name label?

[splitbrain]

The collar will bother DS...but will the school look for the name anywhere else?

Not necessarily.

Names need to be in a really obvious place. And it's not because of where adults might look, it's also to minimise the chances of the pupils picking up the wrong one.

Is there no way of marking at neck that he can put up with?

You could buy a laundry pen and mark it in the neck.

I scrawl his name in marker pen/Sharpie on the laundry tag. But then I'm a slattern

Thanks for advice. Just what I thought, they need to be super visible and ON THE COLLAR! I'm scared a Sharpie will go through and be seen on the outside? I shall try the laundry pen!

I always use a laundry pen - works a treat!

MIL did ds's. I've always used laundry pen before but secondary insist on labels. She had a genius idea and sewed them at the bottom of the front flap - lengthways - sort of inside the bit where the buttons button up (so when they're done up, the tag doesn't itch the skin, iyswim?)

I do them under the collar at the back, where the tie sits.

I use the iron on ones - no annoying corners :-) - and put them above the label.

I use the ones that clip on and put it on the label at the bottom of the side seam
