Does anyone else not *get* chainstitch runoff on shirts?

[andredrake]

I just wear them until they fall of on they're own. It is just part of the design aesthetic and personal preference to keep it or cut it. Funny actually, I went to help my mom out with something last week and was wearing my IHSH-13 and she walked by with scissors

I have no idea what Till just said, but I think the chain stitch run offs look like bike handle tassels for your ass

Just reading this thread… Hahaa! That e shishits funny.

Funny thing is, I had to search this topic because I'm starting to think they look a a bit untidy, and want to burn them off. Also people keep saying you have threads hanging off a nice shirt mate.

I like em. I knot em and leave em. But I definitely hear where you're coming from too!

I've taken it off 1/2 of mine, and left it on the other 1/2. If they stand out or get in the way they come off. There's no functional reason for them…

I think on the flannies they look cool. But the one colour dressier shirts I think it makes them look a little unclean or less smart on that bottom edge.

Surely the feature of a chain stitch run off on a shirt like the IHSH-102 is the same as a selvedge seam on a quality pair of jeans. It's presence alludes to; the level of quality and skill as well as the specialist machinery  involved in realising the product.

I think it is a cool detail, but I usually cut it off.

@thewickett I am usually so ocd around loose cotton threads that I even amaze myself by not only leaving them but loving the fact that they just hang out !!!

Thought about answering, scrolled up abit and saw ^. Still same answer now :). Go past me!

I always cut them off, they remind me of scruffy rats tails.

I only became an IH customer in 2015, and after those two years I'm still cutting off the chainstitch runoff on all my tops, all seven of them so far.
I guess I mostly do it because it would look odd around my community and I would need to answer questions about those 'dangling threads'. However, as I get more familiarized with the intricacies and quality of the IH builds, I feel I'm slowly getting closer to the point where an eventual next shirt will keep its runoff.

It's a good excuse to evangelise

I cut all of mine off.  Just don't like them.

The blonde says it reminds her of tampon strings. Great.

Same.  Just cut some off a newly purchase shirt yesterday, in fact.  My dislike of them overcomes even my powerful laziness.

[Seul]

They mess with people with OCD so I keep 'm on… I'd even attach some if I could...

[joesaintjohn]

I leave them. On everything. Always. #prostringleberries
