1/4" on the left and right sides of the upper band. In the photo you can see they are already 1/8 smaller in the middle with the logo patch. Would give them a 5 instead of a 1 if they are correct would be balanced. I hate when the fabric is off center because it throws everything off balance and warps. I know they're cheap but a little quality control still goes a long way. It's not Raven's fault. Manufacturer issue. That Material is good. If you don't mind the imbalance, they work. For me, they end up in the trash and I lose $18. We're looking for the best product.
