Ask the Rabbi
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Must I check all new clothing for Shatnez?
Best,
Sophia
Answer
Shalom,
Clothes that do not say on their tag that they are made of wool and linen don't have to be checked.
A very expensive coat or suit made of wool or a suit made of linen must be checked in a shaatnez laboratory.

All the best!
