I just got mine today, and I can see what you mean about the rough edge.



I put a couple of clearer pictures in my album.

Also, I'm not happy with the "pre-snagged" condition of the front apron, not to mention other minor blemishes. I think maybe Stillwater does have a QA problem. I made a small album here - http://tinyurl.com/5g7w3 - check it out; if any one wants a better close-up (I've got high-res photos), let me know which one to post to my gallery. Since I don't have anything to compare it to, I would appreciate someone letting me know if I should consider this acceptable.

BTW, It's a lot thicker than I anticipated. It seems like it will be VERY stiff, not "swishing" like people discribe, even after the tack treads are removed. Also, within a couple of minutes, trying it on in the bedroom, I felt sweat starting under my shirt, around the top of my hips. I'm thinking of trading it back for a standard, they're lighter, right?

All in all, I'm really not sure about this purchase.
