Sharpie Laundry Permanent Marker Fine Tip - Black

I did not purchase this item for its standard use. I had dyed a new pair of trousers black, but sadly it wasn't fully successful and the thread was left white. I bought this marker to try and rectify the problem and make them look less silly. I had to give the trousers a couple of applications. However, although the thread perhaps isn't quite as black as the garment they are now finally wearable. This extremely inexpensive item has really saved the day for me. :) Additionally, I now have a very handy pen which I can use for many other things.WARNING!!! - Be very careful not to get onto your hands, as it is very hard to get off. I had to use nail varnish remover and even then I couldn't get it all off. :(

Marker pen as described.

I was looking for an easy and effective way to label my daughters uniform. In the past I have used the iron on name labels but found these have peeled off and can take a while trying to adhere them to every item of clothing. After a bit of research I decided to go with the sharpie clothing pen as its permanent even after washing the garment and is quick and easy to use.I have not given this 5 stars simply because it all depends on what fabric you are writing on as to how well this pen will work. I found on silky labels the ink ran so the name is not very clear. On cotton it was a lot better and also on school bags. I wouldn't say the nib is particularly thin so writing is not as precise as a biro. Luckily this worked well on a lot of items so it did do the job, for the silkier labels I just wrote initials so it was easier to read.

Great quality pen, with a multitude of uses

I used this to make a t-shirt for my fatal desire as he doesn't sell any of his own! It worked really well and survived the wash, was fun and easy to draw with! Just don't lean over it as much as I did with my intense concentration as the smell is very strong and in between plastic and glue!Its a in between thin and thick pen, you literally can do both!Very Very black no need to go over it twice!

The line width of this pen was wider than expected, and the ink ran into the cotton of the stiff collar. Functionally, it is fine. I don't see that it rates any more than three stars (that is, average, as expected). In the past, I have used better marker pens. It is almost impossible when buying online, to know what you will land up with.

Although I am happy to sew on labels for more expensive pieces of uniform, such as blazers/coats, I find that a permanent laundry marker is useful for things such as shirts, trousers,skirts and even shoes and plimsolls, or the inside of pencil cases. This is a useful marker, which I have used now for two lots of uniform and it still works well. Also, although I have washed the uniform many, many times since labeling them, the ink is still visible.This is a must buy for busy parents. It is so much easier than sewing labels and so, unless your school insists upon it, I myself am perfectly happy to rely on this for most items of clothing and school accessories.
