Is this acceptable for a 1st quality Schott?

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.

Wouldn't even consider worrying about that.

This is high-standard matching. The softer panel is intentionally placed for more "give".

Just wish they matched on both sides. But that's a nitpick.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with their choice of panels here. If this isn't matchy enough for you, you genuinely should not be wearing leather.

By the way, RMC will display the same "problem".

That bad, huh? Haha cheers.

I'm not saying it as an insult or to mock; this is part of the nature of leather. It's not for everybody. My own favorite garments aren't leather either.

Wear it and don't worry about it because there is nothing to worry about here.

If the jacket suits you, put it on and take a walk with pleasure. Put aside doubts

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 !

Much obliged gents.
Tags are off, started taming the beast.

Definitely not an issue. Enjoy the jacket!
