Check out the 19oz Lefty Trucker thread to see faded example photos @jerkules if you have not already. They fade high contrast and super beautifully. I would say give the 19oz a try!
Yours and Twin's LHT truckers sold me on LHT for my next pair of jeans! Gonna give the 777s a shot, but I need to work on my 21oz SBG 666s first…
Happy to hear that!
That’s really helpful info guys, thank you. Basically sounds like everyone that tries it, loves it. The lefty trucker fades are incredible, so I feel stoked to give them a try.
Let us know if you try the 19oz!!!

What are y'all wearing for lightweight warm base layers? Looking into something 100% merino wool. Don't want something that looks too athletic, and want something that is thin but warm. Whatchu all got?
I've looked at the Smartwool 250, but I can't imagine that for that price point (110usd each) there have to be better options.

I have some older Smart Wool tops that I really like. Some of their newer stuff is too athletic or too stylistic for my taste, but they still have the basics in short sleeve and long that I would purchase.
-
Yup good point! Living in Southern California, sometimes base layers become the only layer as the day heats up. Start off in the morning with a Smart Wool layer and UHF or denim shirt being perfect. By late morning or early afternoon, it can get too much and I want a basic color merino on. Cotton t's layers work too, but sometimes a merino top has a slight edge.

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.

Is there a proper way to cut off chainstitch runoff? Is anything going to unravel if I just lop if off?
-
Western shirts don't have the runoff

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!”
