thrift store purchase?
I've had to fight to put something back that had someone's initials on it.

awesome shirts but the momogram kills it - ahh well
It will leave a visible mark on the shirt once removed...I have seen many Borrelli shirts and Filenes with monograms on them.Originally Posted by TIEALIGN

"My son, some day the initials on this monogram will all be yours!"
Seriously:
Different ways to sew them cause different levels of damage. If there is a backing, the sewing may have done less harm. Also the holes show less in fabrics with more open weaves.
I took a monogram off a shirt once with a razor and a lot of squinting. Not sure if it was worth it, but I wanted to try.
The best way to cover up the damage of the de-monogrammed spot is to sew your own initials on top of it.
