      @indigostiff I believe there is no other reason than a stylistic one and they serve no purpose other that aesthetics. I looked it up to make certain by using the forum search and this came up "@Giles said in Does anyone else not *get* chainstitch runoff on shirts?:

      It's actually a bit of clothing narcissism.  It says, "hey look my shirt was made using a 'real' sewing machine".  Sometimes I cut them off, but sometimes I leave them on.  G"

      I don't know the reason why it's on work shirts but not western's, but maybe @Giles or @Alex can chime in. It could have been one of those things that Haraki just decided and no one really questions.

          After examining my collection I can only assume that it has to do not with the shirt style but with the presence or absence of gussets. Most if not all work shirts have them, some westerns do and some don’t. All of the gusseted shirts have runoff. From there it appears to be aesthetic as runoff coming off a straight vertical side seam would look different than the ones coming off the curved seam bottom of a gussetted hem.

                  I see the chart for this WS, and I feel I am between the sizes S and M. I usually wear an S in Western shirts, and I have the UHF Red Buffalo Plaid in size M. However, I am not sure about this one. Any thoughts from someone who has bought this UHF Crazy WS red?

                  Should I go S or M?

                    @emilink The best thing to do is to measure your current shirts and compare the sizes to figure out which one will work best for you. You can also email the crew (shop@ironheart.co.uk) and ask for guidance. Those guys are extremely helpful every time I have asked for help and can guide you to the right decision.

                      Also, I love the chat feature on the sales website if I'm down to just a quick question/answer re:sizing. The crew are the best at what they do!!

                          Decided to pick one of these up for the Christmas-vibes, and man, this design is so nice in person. Really stoked!

                          @emilink I got a medium and the fit is spot on. What are your measurements?
