      Understand…I’ve always related the term “base layers” with sport activities.  You just want something to wear as an undershirt/garment that you can wear in the public if it gets to warm…

      I’ve always worn various cotton t-shirts…

        basically the same here. temps here in winter are usually in the 30s-40s F. mostly will be wearing these under a UHF. want something warmer than a cotton Tshirt.

        .      I love the Freenote Henley shirts,under a UHF,or a denim shirt. Really comfortable. Different layers on top depending on the temperature. One other thing,from years of riding a motorcycle during the Winter,I still adhere to the mantra of wearing one more layer than you think you’ll need. Wife thinks I’m nuts.

          Couldn't find a more specific thread and didn't want to start a new one.
          Possible website error, @Giles and @Alex - the footer of the European and German site contains phone no. and e-mail address of the US site, while the International site has the UK contact details.

              Is there a proper way to cut off chainstitch runoff?  Is anything going to unravel if I just lop if off?

                You can cut it off, it's secured by a bar tack…..

                    Just cut them off right where they start. I can’t stand them and cut them off of every shirt and have never had any issues. Western and work shirt, Iron Heart and other brands, it’s always a chop.

                      Western shirts with a gusset have the chainstitch runoff.

                        Yup wearing my 295bb now and have parts of mine still attached. I like 'em! But some folks think it's a loose thread and have even pulled at mine before. No touchy!

                          The first time I wore a shirt with the runoff still attached around my mom she said “YOUR BRAND NEW EXPENSIVE SHIRT ALREADY HAS A LOOSE THREAD!”

                              I used to let things like lack of runoffs or selvedge color my interest in and appreciation for garments. Silly me, in hindsight. I still keep them when they're there and knot them to keep them from fraying, but it no longer has any influence on purchasing decisions.

                              I do trim the sleeve lockstitch runoff from IH thermals though, shit is annoying (not saying stop since it's an easy snip snip) 😃

                              Think it, be it.

                                Anybody ever order from The Real McCoy's Japaneses shop? https://www.realmccoys-nagoya.co.jp

                                Seems pretty straightforward using Paypal to pay… But it's not totally clear if they actually ship to the US.

                                  @setandsetting, they will not, unfortunately. Try Lost & Found or Standard & Strange. Both can special order from their site.

                                      Also, if based in Europe or London. Real MCoys London will do the same.

                                        I bought some RMC stuff from Standard and Strange in NYC earlier in the year and their customer service was awesome.
