I don't know if it's not as big a deal to Chimp than he says since a thread was started about it in the first place. In my case I'd tried for a very long time to just take care of it via email.
As for the creation of this thread ...
Usually when things like this happen, it is because I messed up somehow. I know that's the low self-esteem way to look at it, but it actually does end up being the case more often than not. This was intended to be more of a PSA for anyone else ordering, so they can see where I might have gone wrong and avoid the same issues. Perhaps in this case I didn't go wrong at all. I was thinking along the lines of "is it 24" starting from some other place than that particular seam, or from a different place on the seam, and so forth. That's why I provided the pic showing exactly where I placed the head of the tape measure.
Additionally, although I greatly enjoy reading, I almost never have anything of consequence to say on the board, and wanted to be able to contribute something for once.
I know that if I were Peter, and someone came on the board ranting and raving about how their jacket didn't come out exactly right, without even talking to me first, I'd be pretty P.O.'ed. Sometimes mistakes happen, and it's how people respond to them that's important.
I suppose I was too over-eager to write something once I thought I had something somewhat meaningful to post.
