Hi,
For fear that a small amount of unmerited snobbery has taken refuge in my less than sophisticated mind, ever since I started looking at RMC's stuff, I need the thoughts of a congregation who is of higher taste and expertise.

Purchased a new HH Perfecto from Schott, some fraying here and there, some ugly stitching here and there, no biggie, hand crafted and cut. However, the under arm leather panels used are dissimilar. I am not sure if you can call it "grain separation" but the texture is different and they assuredly come from different parts of the animal.

As long as the panel is in a "hidden" place (under the arm) and that the stitches are robust, you're fine. The grain will become more even with wears, so put it on and enjoy it. Congratulations for your buy !
