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

[Giles]

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.

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)

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.

Sorry just saw you said US!

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

Absolutely not. For $625 per flannel?! That guy always lists his stuff for crazy prices. I sometimes wonder if he actually sells any of it [emoji848]

part of me thinks it would be funny for everyone to submit that guy an identical low-ball offer
