Why does nobody talk about wearing your cosplay inside out by accident?

I was at a small comic con last month, dressed in my homemade Spider-Man suit. I worked on it for WEEKS, trying to get every detail just so. In my hurry to leave, I just threw it on without thinking. Once I got there, I met up with some other fans for a group picture. That's when a kid tapped my shoulder and said, 'Mister, your suit is on backwards.' I looked down and saw all the seams and tags facing OUT. Everyone around us started laughing, but in a nice way. We still took the photo, and now I think it's pretty funny how it all went down.

Notice this all the time with regular clothes too. I mean, how many times have you put a t-shirt on inside out and just rolled with it all day? It's like when you're in a hurry, your brain just skips the basic checks. With cosplay, it's even worse because you're so focused on the look that you miss the simple stuff. Maybe it's just me, but those little mistakes make the whole thing more human and funny.
