Why do they do this? What were they thinking? They put the jeans label right where it gets caught in the zipper.

Oh, sure, you can hold the label out of the way when you zip, and then there's no problem. But that doesn't always happen when you're in a hurry.

Yes, you could cut out the label, but that's not a viable option for me. Unfortunately, I have different sizes of jeans in my closet - depending on the month, day, or sometimes hour - and need to see those labels.

Why can't they just put them in the back of the waistband like they used to?
