I've been seeing lines on my avatar's hands when using double layered skins for 1.8.1 as well as a pixel orientation bug.
The first attachment shows the bar when using the second layer from first person, while the next attachment shows it for both arms. This line also appears for the main layer on both arms.
The next attachments show the arm orientation on the left arm is 1 pixel shifted from the right arm. (both arms are supposed to be mirrored). For an easy look, the left arm outward side has 1 bar and the right arm outward side has 2 bars in the correct orientation.
This orientation problem is also shown on the main layer, as shown in the last picture. Take note the "+" on the left is shifted 1 pixel to the right (from the observer)
I first tried re installing the .minecraft folder, but the issue was still there.
I tried various skin editor sites and uploaded the skin template and the orientations were all correct. The problem only occur in game both in singleplayer and multiplayer.

I know about the other issue links. But none of them actually show a solution. The word "Resolved" doesn't help my situation. I need an actual answer, not a link to the same problem.
I saw the original thread and it says "invalid" But that is very vague. Why is it invalid? And, since my bug is a duplicate, is mine invalid? I just want a simple answer, even if it's just "it's out of our control." Is there any suggestion on where else I can go to try and fix this?

Invalid
Either wrong skin format set on minecraft.net, or skin is not correctly done.
When you upload the skin to minecraft.net, make sure to check the box that says the skin is in the Steve format. You've accidentally picked the Alex format (thinner arms, different layout in the image, there's no way for the site to tell the difference automatically)
@Conor McS
Yes, that fixed everything. Thank you for you're help everyone. I just had a steve format on an alex body.
This bug is similar to MC-75791 and MC-75536. However, the pixel orientation on the left arm is different.
