Well the material definitely feels and looks different to me. It's softer, less harsh. No change in anything else though.

Well I did notice a definite big difference, idk how old my old one is cause it was donated to me, but the new one is about 5 inches longer and the straps are wider. Ill take a picture.

Ok. I wonder if they really are making them out of a different material now, or if it's just cause I got an XS and I usually got a S. Maybe they make them out of a different material...but I know it's not just me. Does your seem to be made out of a different material?

Both smalls, but the old one(on the right) is definitely shorter.

What I've heard, and this is entirely word of mouth, is that occasionally Underworks will change the style of their binders a little bit but all of the product goes into the same bin, they don't distinguish between an old style and new, so whatever they pull out for your order is what you end up with.  I checked my stash of binders (all XS)--my current ones (both white and black) resemble the one on the right of your picture, I bought both of these December 09.  The one I had before that (my best guess is '07-ish) looks like the longer one on the left, another year or two before that I had one of the shorter ones (on the right).

When I used the double fronts I would occasionally notice small differences between length or the size of the arm hole, etc, but luckily it's never been an issue for me.

Hmmm, I wonder if that's true.. Why wouldn't a company like that keep it consistent. Idk, but im having a little bit of trouble with this long one. The more length, the harder it is to put on.
