Pins, collar stiffeners, plastic things ... the list is endless.
Getting outer garments ready for use is an adventure in wasted time.
Oh, and the new long-sleeved shirts I bought last year came with ...
snaps ... instead of buttons. I guess I should have been paying more attention when I ordered them.

Snaps are easier to deal with one handed.

The thing that bugs me is that men's formal jackets come with all
the pockets sewn up.
I recently bought a very nice Harris Tweed jacket at Walker Slater
in London. They offered to open the pockets. It took almost 10
minutes.

As to sewn pockets -- gentlemen simply do not put things in their coat >pockets. The very idea of using them! Or, rather, didn't way back when
sewing them shut became common practice.

I am reminded of various things in books/movies about a day, a while
back, when less-than-wealthy types would purchase (or rent) collars,
cuffs, and a shirt-front and then use a jacket to cover everything
else.
So that they could appear to be wearing a full shirt on their budget.
I wonder how much of the cardboard/plastic stuff dates back to those
days and were originally intended (all cardboard at the time, of
course) to help the various forms keep their shape.
And, of course, there's always Elmer Fudd as orchestra director with
his shirt-front flopping up. Without detachable shirt fronts, this
wouldn't have made any sense to the audience.

Indeed, I'm not at all sure that the Army Greens jackets didn't have
/their/ pockets sown shut back in the late 60s/mid-70s.
It probably took ten minutes because they did it very very carefully.
So this may be another example of the Dead Hand of Tradition.

I miss them on both T-shirts and underware. When I am trying to dress in
the dark, the printed on ones are impossible to find. and rarely have
the tags been annoying. On occasion, yes, but not usually.
Plus, if you left the tag sticking up out of the collar of your shirt
when I was in high school, some cute young thing would point it out and
fix it for you. Now that I think about it, my wife will still do that on
the shirts that I have that still have tags.

One of the ones with the bulb (and foot switch) in the base?
I get enough ambient light (even on moonless nights) for midnight
navigation sans artificial light.

I didn't have to do this 30 years ago, no matter how dark it was, but
night vision apparently declines with age.

The printed ones often fade away long before the garment end-of-life.
Recent T's that I've purchased (Hanes Beefy T's) have gone
back to using cloth tags.
In the dark, the shoulder seams can be used to determine
the back of the shirt. The seams are closer together in
the back.
