Cutting tags off clothing

I bought a suit (jacket and pants) and an overcoat for the suit. I cut the tags off that were on the sleeve, but they were sewn to it (they're supposed to be removed), and I can't get the threads out that held the tag in place. Any suggestions? I don't have scissors small enough to cut them and I'd probably cut the suit by accident anyway. Should I bring everything to the store and make them do it? There's gotta be an easier way.

A large CO2 LASER would certainly do the trick...

Perhaps a neighbor could do it for you? or even using small nailclippers...very carefully.

Why are these tags designed like this in the first place?

You can get small scissors at any drug store cheap... then cut the thread.

What I've done is lift the threads with a needle (you can get kits with various sizes), then cut them against the needle with a utility or x-acto knife. Depending on how they are sewn on, the stitching will usually unravel after cutting one end.

I'd use a seam ripper.

Re: Cutting tags off clothing

REALLY ?? How did you get the tags off without cutting the little threads?
