Patterson & MK...

Wanted to run a few things by you.

Peter seemed to be foaming at the mouth last week about some things I would like to inquire about with the two who have most of the ins and the outs of the FS .

The storm flap: should it be 1" or 1.5"? What does the film show?

The collar tips: Is there a big difference in the Wested and FS? Why do some say its too pointy? Are you sure about the end of the FS collar?

The zipper: Peter wasn't the first to say that the nickel Talon zipper waves up and down like a snake. Dave said that the Talon is on gauge smaller than the ykk brass version but that it doesn't much matter. If it waves then it matters because the Raiders jacket zipper did not wave...view any scene.

The Mystery of the Elastic Pleats: I am really confused about this here. Do your FS jacket pleats lay done completley or do they only pinch in certain sections as described by someone a few posts ago..see "What did Peter mean..." post responses on the Forum. Dave contends that what they put in the Expo is the same method used in the G-1's for the last 50 years. How has the FS been working? Think it's a better alternative than the Wested solution? Lastly, how did Peter solve this problem without using eleastic?

Thanks for your detailed responses.
