: Hand-stitched is not always better than machine stitched -- often the only way to tell them apart is that hand stitches are never exactly even -- you can see that some are closer together, etc -- while machine stiches are evenly spaced. Someone doing a good job with a machine, as the folks at Wested and US Wings do, will be superior in many respects to hand-stitched. The hard part with a machine is to keep the stitches straight and evenly spaced from the edge of whatever you're sewing.

Cool! I did not know that! Learn something new every day! Based on what you say, then, I would have to say that BOTH of my jackets were CAREFULLY MACHINE STITCHED jackets! As EVERY stitch is perfect! I have never seen jackets so perfectly stitched before!
Thanks for the info! Always welcome!!!
