Question I know about relabeling t-shirts but what about other garments?

I know most of the laws pertaining to relabeling t-shirts and what must be included in a new tag and what not, but what about other clothing styles? I was on the American Apparel website and was looking at what they had to offer and I wasn't sure if I would be able to purchase, lets say sweatshirts, and then be able to relabel them since it isn't a standard t-shirt. Also, what about long sleeve t-shirts? Are they the same as short sleeve tees for relabeling?

Yes, all those garments would be the same as relabeling a t-shirt.

The laws are the same for textiles in general - they also apply to towels, scarves, coats, pillows, etc. etc.

I thought the law was slightly different for "wet use" textiles, such as towels and face cloths?

...possibly. I was thinking maybe I should have chosen my random examples better The main thing is that certain rules that don't apply to t-shirts would come into play (e.g. preferred label location won't be centre of the neck hole, and washing instructions may not be needed (if you can do anything you want to it without harm they're not)).

Ahhh, the wacky world of law.

I'm pretty certain that face-cloths can legally have tear-away labels as a label may "interfere with the item's primary function". I also think there's something about dyeing, but I'm not so sure.
