For what its worth, I've had 4 ELMC Californian's over the past few years and while the back didn't lay perfectly flat, they didn't flare/up out as much as yours does. (or quite as much as the stock photo either).
I just checked the 2 I still have and I couldn't feel any elastic through the...
I ordered a Goodwear jacket expecting an 18 month to 2 year wait, at 6 years with no real due date, I cancelled the order. Not only was the excitement for that jacket completely gone by then, but it somehow killed my enthusiasm for leather jackets in general.
I'm not quite sure why, John...
Vintage Gold Label Brooks finally made it, I think it was in transit for just over 4 weeks…eBay international shipping is TERRIBLE at the moment, so slow.
Anyway, great jacket. Tagged a 42 but definitely a size up from my brown Gold Label brooks which is also tagged a 42.

Nice jacket but is it what you ordered?
The way I look at it these days. If you walked into a store and could buy it off the rack as is or with the specs you originally outlined, would you have bough this one off the rack?
I don't believe its the original company, someone just bought the name. Although I could be wrong.

So I’ve got 14 suits sitting in my closet that rarely if...
Personally, if the manufacturer is concerned enough to offer a discount or ask for "approval" I wouldn't take it.
Good on them for being so honest and upfront but if they have concerns, especially with this type of leather, I think you'd be better off waiting until they sort out their supply...
The Aero Speedway is actually based off a vintage design, I saw an original on eBay once. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's an exact repo (ie: they copied the pattern). Your bet bet is to probably contact them directly about this. I had one years ago but I cant remember if how the neck fit sorry.
