The M-1944C is sitting on my desk airing, almost dry after being out on the line, and a plus point is that although the material is lovely and supple and quickly takes on the shape of the curve over the springbars and under the caseback, once washed it goes back to it's original shape. It's going on my PRS-5 Broadarrow tomorrow for a Sunday lunchtime visit to my local, I like to wear a manual of a Sunday so it's either that or the Archimede Deck Watch.
