Abstract

A woven label that is woven within a collared shirt or other apparel item, such that it is an integral part of the collared shirt is disclosed. Specifically, the woven label is woven directly into the back neck panel of the collared shirt. Thus, weaving the woven label into the back neck panel of the collared shirt eliminates the utilization of one or more separate labels. The woven label would then be an integral part of the collared shirt, and not able to be easily removed by a user.
