In Reply to: The Cooper jackets use the elastic. The lambskin doesn't have as much a problem with this as the cowhide. (nm) posted by Patterson on April 11, 2000 at 21:23:37:
I disagree, respectfully. My Wested pleats did not hang right untill I had the elastic added. It could be body type as well though, now that I think about it. I do the weight thing and have a pretty wide back, so who knows.
By the way, my first Indy jacket was a Cooper that I bought 10 years ago. No elastic there.
