I was just thinking that I'd like to hear Holly "slight mismatching that will even out over time" with this one.

I really can't imagnie Aero doing that one at all. I quite like the mismatched body panel, but the harlequinn effect of switching the arms with the two different types.... IMO, it would have looked much better had they cut the two arms, or a back panel, 'different' like that. I do like the idea of avoiding wastage of hides by not going overboard with the matching (in my view, if we're going to take an animal from nature, we have a moral duty not to waste anything we can realistically use - one reason that I, as a meat-eater, am so keen on leather jackets and boots). The one we're discussing here, though, just looks too calculated in its mismatching - like a pair of pre-ripped jeans that are just too neatly ripped and with the rips placed just so that it gives off the air of someone having spent hours to get it look just the 'right' level of 'random' . Mismatch graining would be a cool look on areas like cuffs, or a back piece, or the inside of pleats, depending on the size.
