I was told (by a forum member here) the same thing, when I shared my thoughts on the stock jackets sold here:
https://mildblend.com/collections/himel-brothers
They are priced lower than his custom made pieces (and I believe ) lower than his own stock offerings. I went over all 3 styles very closely (this is not something I normally do), but the drum bangers insisted his jackets are made to impossibly high standards. @Superfluous was extremely vocal about the level of stitching finesse Himel’s machinist possessed. I was stunned at the sub par stitching! very similar to Damon’s jacket.
So in short, I don’t think there is a difference in attention levels. Is what it is.
Meanwhile I scrolled through Aero’s stock page right now and saw a stunning jacket that‘s marked down to almost half price because there’s a tiny stitch wobble under the collar and an invisible scuff on the sleeve.
(Sorely tempting, to be honest…)
