    @DougNg:

    I have no idea what Till just said, but I think the chain stitch run offs look like bike handle tassels for your ass

    Just reading this thread… Hahaa! That e shishits funny.

    Funny thing is, I had to search this topic because I'm starting to think they look a a bit untidy, and want to burn them off. Also people keep saying you have threads hanging off a nice shirt mate.

      I like em. I knot em and leave em. But I definitely hear where you're coming from too!

      Think it, be it.

        I've taken it off 1/2 of mine, and left it on the other 1/2. If they stand out or get in the way they come off. There's no functional reason for them…

          I think on the flannies they look cool. But the one colour dressier shirts I think it makes them look a little unclean or less smart on that bottom edge.

            Surely the feature of a chain stitch run off on a shirt like the IHSH-102 is the same as a selvedge seam on a quality pair of jeans. It's presence alludes to; the level of quality and skill as well as the specialist machinery  involved in realising the product.

              I think it is a cool detail, but I usually cut it off.

                @thewickett I am usually so ocd around loose cotton threads that I even amaze myself by not only leaving them but loving the fact that they just hang out !!!

                    I always cut them off, they remind me of scruffy rats tails.

                      I only became an IH customer in 2015, and after those two years I'm still cutting off the chainstitch runoff on all my tops, all seven of them so far.
                      I guess I mostly do it because it would look odd around my community and I would need to answer questions about those 'dangling threads'. However, as I get more familiarized with the intricacies and quality of the IH builds, I feel I'm slowly getting closer to the point where an eventual next shirt will keep its runoff.

                      The journey is the objective.

                          I cut all of mine off.  Just don't like them.

                            The blonde says it reminds her of tampon strings. Great.

                              I like them and keep them on.

                              if anyone asks what they are just call them 'stringleberries.'

                                          Another reason I keep them on is should I choose to sell a shirt the buyer might prefer those little details. cutting them off might effect the value. I have never had anyone ask me what a chainstitch runoff is anyway so people don't seem to notice
