Is it just me but both my Westeds tend to bugle out in the middle of the back panel when worn open. My USW for some reason doesn't do that and its really starting to bother me.
Is the the fact that the Westeds aren't tapered (like I am) or is it something else? Basically I have to cinch the side straps all the way just to get the jacket to drape flat (in profile) but I don't want to have to do that. I'm seriously considering taking it to a tailor for advice but I thought I'd run it past the experts here first.
Would the elastic thing in the panel correct this? Other than that the jackets fit perfectly.
A little advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
