Quote:Could hardened leather explain the behavior of the shoulder flaps? Or would it stay in the bent form? If so that would be an argument against leather.This is probably the best question I have seen regarding this topic for some time. I can't think of a way to make leather behave as the shoulder flaps do in the illustrations. Perhaps others have had more experience.
