I’ve only been wearing nylon/polyester “outdoor” shirts for like 40 years now. Nearly all the shirts I own that have a back shoulder panel with mesh underneath have a velcro tab connecting the panel to the shirt body. In warm weather I am not wearing an undershirt so these velcro tabs tend to jab into my back as a pack (or my kayak seat) press on them. I am currently un-stitching the velcro on about 8 shirts and will just sew a stitch across that area. But the question remains:
Do these velcro tabs have any purpose other than to hold the panel to the shirt body?
Thanks -Ken
