The only reason I could see keeping them is to sell, but those people that buy clothes with the intention of selling them after they are used are likely the same who wore tags on their sleeves in another life.

Good to know. I did not know what the proper etiquette is. At least on a scarf it is hidden.

On a side note, I always wondered what is the purpose of those sleeve tags to begin with?!?

What? There is no double-edge sword here. Usually people who do this are wearing cheap, crappy suits. I have never seen a Kiton or TF sleeve tag worn so all the wearer is telling me is that they are wearing something that they think is awesome (or my least favorite word "fancy").

The purpose is so that when it is in the store on the rack, it is easier to find and organize--nothing more.

I have never seen a sleeve tag on a high end suit Kiton/Tom Ford/ Attolini. Well maybe Isaia, Zegna and the size/model tag on the end of a sleeve of a Brioni. And even then they take it off when they tailor the suit for you. But i think Armani Collizoni which is made by Zegna now does the sleeve tag thing and its not a stretch to imagine some people request it to be left on lol

The worst ones are those who deliberately leave tag on of designer lines that are made for the plebs and expecting others to be impressed. Very much the people who think they're the shit wearing A|X logo rubbish.

From what i've seen, the people who do this just don't know any better and are not trying to show off. They see thread holding it on and think that its just a part of the coat.

I
My point exactly :-)
What I was getting at was that while people leave the tag to impress with some designer name, they are actually showing people that they don't know the first thing about wearing a suit...

And I agree that some people really dont know about the sleeve label or vents. Clearly they also dont know that an OTR suit should be tailored. When I buy OTR suit I take it to my tailor and I always get it back ready to wear - labels removed, vents cut open, etc. Never had to ask for it, but it is always done.
