Question: what's the purpose for the elastic on the back of an Irvin jacket's collar?

Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Quick fastening device for the collar when you are wearing gloves. When you pulll the strap over your head it lifts and closes the collar.

I actually do this in cold weather to keep my ears warm, my wife says I look stupid though...

Oh over the head... Much easier than the straps.
Thanks guys!
