Well, I never did quite get around to photographing muslin 3.0 before moving on to version 3.1. So, let's just dive into my current issues, shall we?
I think I'm in serious risk of over-fitting this jacket. Looking in the mirror, I'm quite happy with the fit. Additionally, it feels comfortable. But when I have Phin photograph the muslin, I notice all kinds of lines and wrinkles. For example:

See the line originating at the armpit and angling down across the back?
When I lower my arm you can see a bit of excess fabric in the same place.
And with my arm raised you can see it, too.
Yet Phin swears it is practically non-existent in real life, and the mirror seems to agree. So, the question is, do I do something about it? Or not?
When I look at myself in the muslin, I'm very happy with the fit. Yet when I examine photos, there are a hundred flaws. But I think that some of them are just that the denim is not going to drape like leather will. Those lines across the back waist, for example, are just where there is wearing ease. I think. I hope.
I'm having a serious confidence crisis. What would you do if you were me? Keep working on fitting or get to work on the jacket? Where do you draw the line with what you can learn from a muslin?
