Hello hello.
I am the new owner of a beautiful Real McCoy's single breasted jacket from their collaboration with The Armoury.
I love this jacket, I think it fits perfectly, it's the exact mix of casual but still interesting and versatile. It has a great weight, interior pockets, etc.
But the damn collar rests in such a way that is getting under my skin for such an expensive jacket. I think it simply has to do with the way the creasing has occurred (though was purchased brand new), because I refuse to believe RMC would send out a jacket with this uneven of a cut of leather for the collar. And when I really put them side by side they appear to be the same length.
Now I shouldn't let this bother me too much, but it's also such an expensive jacket that I don't want something like this to nag at me for the price I'm paying. Unfortunately this was the last one (maybe ever?) they had so simply looking to exchange for a more 'flawless' version is not an option.
So I'm mostly asking
1. Should this really bother me that much? Looking for encouragement but honesty here...
2. I'm sure exacting customers as FDL members have all had pieces of clothing where some element of the drape or fold of the item was ever not so, and it's bothered us and perhaps some of us have fixed it. Any recommendations on how to try and make it drape/fold/crease more evenly?
I don't need it to be perfect and obviously I could just try and brute force it into position and put a weight or some pressure on it for some time and hope of the best, but just thought if anyone had any advice or experience with this I would appreciate it!
Thanks.
Including some extra photos of the jacket for good measure.
