greetings to all,

are there any rules/laws against adding a label to shirts reflecting your company name, e-mail adrress, etc. without removing the labels from the manufacturer? i am just starting and i would like to mark my items for advertisement and future contact purposes.

No laws against it, you can do that.

thanks. i have the cornerstone brand shirt where i would like to remove the entire tag and replace with one of mine that has company name, origin of shirt, and material of shirt, is this sufficient? i didn't see a rn# listed on the shirt.

No, it's not. If you're not using an RN the company name has to be the full legal company name (not just the name of a brand or label for example). You also have to have care instructions. Country of origin specifically needs to be on the front.

thanks! when you say company name..are you talking about my company name or the name of the company that made the shirt? i really appreciate your help. i am just starting out and want to be very careful not to break any laws.

Your (full, legal) company name.

There's further information on the forums if you do a search, and the FTC has some good pages if you want the information straight from the source.

would it be misleading if i left the manufacturer' s rn# on the shirt and then add my company's name and e-mail address along side this? i am working with one of the cornerstone shirts and everything is on one label, but i would like to put my company info on that too. also, has anyone found cornerstone khaki shirts for under 8 bucks?

I don't see why. If someone looks up the RN it will go to the original manufacturer, so it's pretty clear at that point that they made the garment and you decorated it for sale.
