The leather relaxes over time and stretches some. Droopy action pleats are a common experience. I'm pretty sure that when my Wested was new, the back panel had a nice square taper. But over time the leather has relaxed and the taper is now rather concave.

I've got a brand new novapelle and it does that every time I wear it. I thought it was normal but apparently not...
