Can anyone suggest a way to remove a glued-in label in the back of a

...rather annoying rubberized label glued in the back where the sewn-in labels usually are.

I find all labels annoying and I always cut them out. This one glued
in and I cannot even get a corner free.

The label says it is a Cutter & Buck shirt and it also says CBDryTec.
...
The fabric sounds like a polyester,

The label sewn into the shorttail says 60% cotton, 40% polyester. It
also says machine wash cold, delicate cycle, no bleach, tumble dry
low, low iron if needed, no fabric softener, do not dry clean.

Why no fabric softener?


The waxes in the fabric softener will mess with the DryTec. AAUI,
DryTec, and similar fabrics, is a combination of fabric weave and
treatment that allows moisture to wick through the fabric away from
the body but not back towards it. Fabric softeners work by coating
the fabric. That coating will interfere with the wicking properties,
and the shirt will become clammy and uncomfortable to wear.

I never knew that. Thanks.
