Perfected Envoy Jerkin has a couple of issues with it, the most namely one being that it causes items placed on the back (Two-handed weapons and backpieces) to float away from the character and appear in mid-air. A few other issues are that the sleeves on male characters cause the arms to become much more scrawny and on female models (human and norn) there is a skin texture in place on the stomach area. I'll detail more below. Back items floating:
These first few screenshots show a Human Male character. This issue is far more noticeable on male characters than it is females. https://gyazo.com/e7a48b99b7bd9e2558826ec122595e34
(Weapon shown is Greatsword: Kymswarden)
Issue persists with backpieces as well: https://gyazo.com/890fd42a857973bb1d17ba7c5cc4dace

Issue persists in combat stance:

Issue persists on other races:

This issue is not as noticeable on female characters but still occurs. Here is a Female Human for reference: https://gyazo.com/c7c8f5c46a89a6459ed6b77ee4ef0af1

It is worth noting here that this issue as well as the following issues DO NOT OCCUR for the Refined Envoy Jerkin and Experimental Envoy Jerkin. This post will already be long enough so I'll refrain from posting all of them but below is just one example of the Refined Envoy Jerkin displaying normal behavior with back items.

It is also worth noting here that this issue resolves itself with a cape backpiece.

I've tested it, it works with numerous cape items and is the only thing to resolve the issue. Scrawny Sleeves:
This issue isn't as noticeable of one if you wear a bulky gloves item. For all male characters (since they are the ones with sleeves) the character's arms become much thinner and this does not change in combat stance or through use of any other items. When you compare the Refined or Experimental variants side-by-side it is very noticeable. The following screenshots will show both.

This last one isn't so much of an issue more of just a consistency problem. For Female characters excluding the Sylvari, there is an added skin texture on the stomach of the character that is affected by dye and does not change in or out of combat stance. My assumption is that this was intentional in some way either as a combat only effect or just a permanent change to the armor (as this skin texture does not exist for Refined or Experiment variants). However, this skin texture does not exist on Female Sylvari.

Note that the metal pieces on the breast part come out, this occurs normally for Norn and Humans as well.
This post was very long with a lot of details and I thank you for taking the time to look it over. I am a huge fan of Medium armor classes and was very excited to finally get the Perfected Envoy armor after working hard to acquire it. It has really put a damper on my day to deal with these issues (most namely the floating back item and scrawny arm issues) and I along with many other players with this armor I know would be extremely grateful and thankful for whoever is able to put in the time to help resolve these issues with the armor piece.
Model: Human Male Armor: Aetherblade Blindfold Type: Head piece. Heavy, Medium, and Light Issue: Clips with all exclusive male faces and multiple others. Links below show all the affected faces - 22 in total. The original blindfold model "Mist Scrim" heavy headpiece does not have this clipping issue. https://ibb.co/1Lqr6pL https://ibb.co/JKFQg4x https://ibb.co/ykJwBZt
