Owen,

Thank you for posting the pictures. I see what you mean except the close-ups of thread is a bit fuzzy.

Question: whats with the guy or women in 1944, sewing hundreds of these covers per week for the front? The sewing details on them should also appear like made by the same hand, wouldnt it?

These are made on a machine so the covers can't vary much! I can see stitching being shorter or longer but as to saying "oh the same person made this" is way too far off. whenyou have half a million people making them is far fetched. You adjust the stitch length and saying the same person made something is a big ass guess!

In post #494, it looks as though the manufacturer used an actual double needle machine.

That cover appears do be made of different material than the ones discussed in this thread so it has a much different pedigree. I can't tell much more without close-ups.

In regards to the factory sewing discussed in post #503, one person did not sew one cover. Many people sewed piece-parts on many covers on the production line. Check out post #2156 on the pink smock thread.

Thats how clothes are made all over the world even today.

The Virtual covers are Real and have nothing to do with Lorenzo covers.
