The majority of all types of clothing—pants, slacks, shorts, shirts, jackets, coats, shoes, belts, hats, etc.—has labels and/or patches permanently affixed in some manner to the outside of the clothing. This restrains the consumer to have to buy several different items listed above if only to get the same color item with a different label or patch. This is a waste of money for the consumer and a waste of space when it comes to storage for them and the manufacturer.
  • the invention “Interchangeable Labels and Patches” is a very simple concept. Instead of having labels and patches permanently sewn into all types of clothing—pants, slacks, shorts, shirts, jackets, coats, shoes, belts, hats, etc.—the positive or negative side of magnets and/or Velcro is permanently affixed to the article of clothing and the opposite side of the magnet and/or Velcro is permanently affixed to the back of the label and/or patch. In this fashion, the consumer can remove a label and/or patch and another label and/or patch can be applied to any article of clothing from any article of clothing. The label maker or other professional can easily incorporate this process into the manufacturing of the garments and labels and/or patches.
