Ive seen lots of other posts on here where people get really specific with their questions with no kickback from other people. So i dont see how im being any different. Leather jackets are an expensive long term investment so questions and concerns should be expected and welcomed. I understand its human nature for there to be a pecking order and so senior posters get more respect and new guys are likely to get told to shut up and just wear it (which i have been). Its just a question if ur annoyed u dont have to respond. I know though that im not being overly anal with my questions ive seen tons of other posts on this forum with similar questions and respectful responses.
Also the first time i was recommended to stop fretting over every little thing, it was regarding a shoulder strap that was bent, and so it didnt look good. Im paying my hard earned money for an expensive jacket so my questions matter. If the people on this forum faced this problem, i guarantee many if not most people on here would notice it and have questions about it. My second question after that shoulder strap question was regarding shoulder sizing measurements. And its a another valid question, because it could lead the questioner to eventually seeking a custom made jacket later on down the road. So none of my questions are invalid, so being told to stop fretting over every little thing is disrespectful and a new guy doesnt have to take it. Its not my fault that there have been back to back problems with my recent schott 618 purchases. I believe i also mentioned loose stitching on one of the jackets, which falls in line with the notion (found on this forum) that schott stitching has more mistakes on average than almost any of the other big name leather jacket brands.
It's relatively simple: you get a jacket, put it on, admire yourself in the mirror and think "cool. I like it." Check.
You do the same thing with the same result an hour, a day later? Check.
Then this is your jacket.
If you start looking for and finding things about the jacket that make you wonder, then even a thousand contrary responses from a forum won't manage to gloss over those points for you.
Then this is not your jacket.
Not for nothing the classified section is well filled.
Just my opinion on this.
edit:
And no, a quarter inch doesn't amount to anything in the slightest.
Manufacturing tolerances at Aero and some others are +/- 0.5 inch.
If you have worn the jacket for 50 hours, you can't return it anyway, right? So wear and then sell at some point, the feeling of satisfaction should not arise.
