First, I love the aesthetic and design. The material is nice and thick and feels sufficiently military/industrial to fit the cyber punk theme, however, the item ripped literally the first time I tried it on. The area that ripped sits right below the arm pit. As I was putting it on I heard and felt the seam rip. My spouse does a lot of sewing and pointed out that given the heavy material and the stress that would be placed on that seam, it should have been double stitched at the very least in order to accommodate the stress. The review only accommodates one photo so the detail may be lost in the collage.
My spouse is working on getting a sufficiently thick sewing needle in order to add our own double stitching, but it should not have been necessary in the first place. I'll admit that I'm thicker in my shoulders and chest, so my body type doesn't fit the slim ninja aesthetic of many of the models in the photos. 3 stars since the item is still usable with some extra work.
