Hey Peacoat:With the built in hood, they are stiff enough to want to stay up. It takes some work to make them fold down. I think we wore them folded down, but that is so long ago, I can't really remember.
I just checked mine from 1966, and it is folded down. So, that's the way I wore it then (what little I wore it), and how I wear it now. After 54 years, it's nice and soft and wants to stay down.
I’m curious...i know you were an Officer. Did you guys ever have your field jackets starched shiny and almost like cardboard?
