I just received one with elastic.

It just seems to fit better and stays better in shape.
You cannot feel it i normal wear, but I makes the jacket stay more in shape.
No draw backs at all!

I had the sleeves extended with 0.5 inch.


I aslo thought the sleeves might ride up in wear.

Actually Peter told me he had the machine repaired, but it broke down again. It was an expensive repair and it is only used for the nametags.

Probably he will not have it repaired again.

As can be seen in one of the previous posts some like to ask Wested to extend the back to the sleeve seam.

What do you yhink of this?
Do you like this or do you prefer the back stopping at 0.5" from the seam?

Hi Pyroxene,

Thanks you so much that really helps.

I already included in my final order D rings and extended back.

I think that looks best!

Hi all,

do any of you know where I could take a look at the different Wested side fasteners?

I also see that some of you heve the back panel extended up to the sleeve seem.
Where can find pictures for comparisson?

Thanks,

John
