I'm here for you

Hi everyone,
Have any of you gotten a jacket which both sides don't line up? I am not the most OCD person but I have the left side which is quite crooked and I haven't seen it on any other of my type 3s, is it due to the left hand twill? And if any of you has, does it improve with time as the jacket relaxes?
Thanks,

Without a picture I have a hard time visualizing what you’re talking about.

[tvaillant75]

@sabergirl indeed I realize this is not super clear

Here you go, the right side is quite "curved" and makes the front a bit asymetric. it can accentuate even more with movement.

Thanks for the help,

What's it like buttoned up

[sabergirl]

I think that may be a little “leg twist” of the left hand twill after the overdye process. I say embrace it! Wouldn’t bother me at all, but I get why it may bug you.

@hjl360 It's visible that the lower part curve outwards. No big deal but feel a bit off when still new/rigid as the jacket tends to flare outward.

@tvaillant75 it looks like a good fit to me, long time owners of this piece say it will relax and conform to your body nicely over time.

I think as long as it is not uncomfortable then stick with it, doesn't look out of place or awkward from the photos.

@tvaillant75 my lefty is like that, no biggie

[tvaillant75]

@MassiveThighs thank you guys, indeed I tend to overthink slightly at times. Wabi sabi as they say

Wife was cold tonight and I had the lefty in the back seat. She put it on and was laughing. I asked why and she said, this weighs more than any jacket should ever weigh . She was warm though!
