Isn't IH up to your standards 9/10, Bentin? Beyond the loom skewing of the 129s, I'd love to learn from what you're seeing.
Not even IH specific it'd just be fun to see examples of misaligned areas missed by 8 out of 10

I have a flannel shirt made by a Japanese company called "Warehouse Co" and the pattern is super symmetrical. Best I have seen on a shirt so far.

Not even IH specific it'd just be fun to see examples of misaligned areas missed by 8 out of 10 Just perusing Self Edge, I'd say they're certainly above average for the Japanese. I've never seen them go crazy on missing left to right horizontal alignment, which is pretty rare for the Japanese, so that right away makes them better than most. The first few shirts on SE have great collar alignment and symmetry. Cuffs look right too. So yeah, probably fine. The only area I've frequently noticed them conforming to Japanese/Gustin patterns is that the placket doesn't always seem to be the start of middle of the pattern, so the pattern restarts at different points going right to left, but just the first few on SE look great. Now if I could get one without VAT, I'd give you personal feedback... |

bentin yeah, they make pretty nice garments. I'll post my collection in the dedicated thread (or create one if there isn't one already)

I think bentin did a primer some time back and I looked at my patterned shirts with somewhat disappointing results. It has taken hours on a therapists couch to get to the point where I can ignore the flaws  |

This is honestly why alcohol exists. And sweaters. You can hide nearly all shirt flaws with a sweater. It's the only way I'll wear my one Gustin oxford.

Mine seems to be unsymmetric leg twist on non-denim pants. Also one of the reasons I don't do a lot of home repairs/improvements. I always see my own mistakes and can't unsee them. My approach to shirt pattern alignment is to insist on horizontal alignment across the front and sleeves. I'm willing to forgive the rest of it (for the most part). |

Haha, but look at the collar, hard to do it any better. And the placket is perfectly placed, as are the cuffs. The first shirt I posted is amazing though, even nearly aligns across the side seams, which is very impressive.
