I am a relative newcomer here and have gained a ton of knowledge through the generous members here- this has been a most welcoming place where a neophyte like myself has been able to understand more about the intricacies of different leather, makers, so on. I have also fallen into similar situation as OP where a jacket comes in the summer and your mind may not immediately be to inspect the jacket, even though in hindsight we should, and only come to wear the jacket for real come Fall.
It is hugely disappointing that Himel has responded like this, as I have handled his jackets in person at the Bryceland store in Hong Kong, it is magnificent with great stitching throughout. I also find it disappointing that he has chose IG, a very public platform to advocate his thoughts and even bash members overtly. I would like to imagine a less gracious person would have already posted on IG, his chosen platform, to showcase some of these great stitching that he did, but kudos to you that you have kept it here and on emails instead!
