Nice start. Isn't straitjacket the most common form? --Mrwojo 20:11 Jan 11, 2003 (UTC)

Webster's has straitjacket and straightjacket; Random House has straitjacket and strait-jacket; OED has strait jacket and strait waistcoat. Though an etymological error, I suppose straightjacket is inevitable, because the thing keeps you straight. If anyone rewords this, remember that alternate forms of the article title are also bolded.
