I tried on this top yesterday. I liked the fit and the shape and was hemming and hawing over the color on me when I noticed something that did not seem quite right.

The "stripe" effect, which was not really stripes but more of a texture, was not truly horizontal, but at more of an angle even more than shown in the picture. The back of the top was fine, it was the front that was off. This seemed to me an indication of less-than-careful cutting of the pattern pieces on the fabric, and I suspect it could lead to that dreaded twisting of the side seams after the first washing. I knew it would drive me crazy every time I put it on so I passed.

I see this sort of thing often in tshirts, although I was surprised to see it in a brand like Vince.

What do you all think? Am I being too picky? Do you notice things like this on lightweight Ts?
