Padded jacks sleeve construction

["Hugo Tremblay"]

Hello,

This is a question for those who tried to recreate the padded jack as 
desribed in Dragon #3. This, as well as the ordinance referred to, mentions 
that the sleeves must be of the same strength. A question arise about the 
"quilting" of those sleeves. (I will use the term quilting knowing that it 
is not technically a quilt, but I can't think of anty other words for this 
type of stitching: sorry for the inconvenience.)

On many reconstructions, including those pictured in M. Embleton's books, 
jacks are shown having unquilted sleeves. However, if those sleeves are in 
fact constructed as the body, how are the layers kept from shifting inside 
the actual sleeve? Does the sleeve construction using smaller pieces than 
the body remove the need for this supporting quilting?

Any insight in this matter will be greatly appreciated!
Hugo
