Name Tapes
All items of property and clothing should be clearly marked with name tapes or with indelible ink. Name tapes should be sewn into the collars of shirts, coats, blazers, tracksuit tops and pullovers. Shorts and trousers should be named in the centre of the waistband. The best way to name a sock is to put the two ends of the tape together and sew it on to the top inner edge with one row of stitching. Name tapes can be "araldited" into shoes; special heel labels can be bought, or the name can be written with indelible ink.
