Misc. Observations and Errors, part 8

Sometimes the upper edges of the chest pockets weren't always flush with the bottom of the division stripes. 

For instance, throughout much of the first season, the outer edges of Travis' right chest pocket and division stripe weren't flush; instead a gap gradually widened along the outermost few inches toward the armscye.

The ENT jumpsuit "Lynsioux" photographed and shared this particular flaw, as well, albeit on the opposite end.

Oddly, although nearly all the ENT jumpsuits had pockets and waist straps with a consistent front alignment (i.e. their centermost edges were roughly equidistant from the front center), some had thigh pockets which were positioned about ¼" to ½" closer to center than the chest pockets and waist straps. 

Trip's ENT jumpsuits were like this from the beginning.

At least one of Reed's ENT jumpsuits had similarly positioned thigh pockets:

And at least one of Hoshi's ENT jumpsuits did, as well:

The screen-used ENT jumpsuit "Lynsioux" photographed and shared also had thigh pockets positioned in this manner.

This was done consistently enough times on enough ENT jumpsuits to seem to us like it was intentional, but that begs the question, why? And why not on all of them? 

For whatever it's worth, we at Bad Wolf prefer the consistent front alignment, and that's what we recommend.
