    Wasn’t a fan when I first got into this scene. Now I barely even notice almost all my shirts have it.

    In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

        Never crossed my mind either way to stay or cut off

          @Mizmazzle I was the opposite. I was seriously prejudiced against shirts without it. Now I’m indifferent 😀

          Think it, be it.

            I love it, always have. It's admittedly weird, but charming.

              @popvulture x2. Don’t know how to explain it nor really care to do so. Just makes me happy.

                @Mizmazzle yup! I’ve cut some off and now don’t bother. My friends at work do bother though, and regularly try and rip them off as I pass by because it bugs them. I couldn’t care less if they succeed. 😝

                  The first quality shirt I bought with chain run got cut because I didn't realise it was on purpose.

                    @popvulture “weird but charming” nicely sums it up 👌

                      It’s a nice detail that I appreciate. I like to leave everything as it was intended from the factory. YMMV.

                            I never learned to appreciate them…I snip them off as soon as I get my hands on the shirt. Before the first wear.

                            The journey is the objective.

                                  I save mine in this little dish! Not sure why?…and what I may do with it? Maybe I’ll cast ‘em in clear epoxy?

                                      I love them and its one of those things if you know you know. If someone asks or tells me I have a thread hanging I simply say no it's the chain-stitch runoff and it binds the universe together...

                                        I would love to leave the runoff but my ocd will not abide. I’m the same with any stray string or fuzz or something I feel is “out of place”. Ironic too because the runoff is a perfect example of IH’s attention to detail that makes me such a fan.

                                          @WhiskeySandwich they should chill with that. If they somehow tore past the bartack your constructional stitching would be at risk since chain stitches unravel quickly. How feasible that is, not sure, but seems like a bitch to repair correctly.

                                          Think it, be it.
