Why the tag showing on the front of the mechanic's shirt? I know a lot of shirts have this, but I don't get it. Why would someone want that?

(because otherwise that shirt is the absolute nizzles.)

That's the inside of the sweater you're seeing, the shirt was flipped inside out for that detail shot.

Ah, sorry.. i mis-read it.
I actually like that tag on the outer, Sugar Cane does the same to many of their shirts as it's very common on shirts from the 20's to 50's.

Seam rippers get rid of tags in seconds if it really bothers you. I know eventually I'll get an awesome piece of MF but I'm still poor, especially after getting a ToJ jacket.

They do stretch, they should have stretched about 1.5" at least already.
