i got a pair of rag and bones from brian_sd and he forget to mention that a magnetic security tag is still attached to the bottom of the leg. Is there anyway to hammer this off? it was bought from active endevours and don't think it's an ink tag. any help please?

That sucks man. Those are tough to get off. Your best shot is to bring the jeans to a local store and ask them to take it off for you.

Any place you find educational toys, I imagine. Hardware stores, too.

by time you drive enought to find a big magnet (which btw works pretty well) you could've already walked into a boutique, had them pull the tag for you, and had a tall whiskey and coke..or two

Find a store that uses those tags and ask them to take it off for you.

Why not just go to Home Depot and just find something magnetic?
