"However, whalehone, like plastic, adapts to the body shape over time; and I have some old instructions about turning the bones over when that happens."
That's why I thought about combinating plastic and metal. At least for the back and the front of the corset I'd use something like spring steel and for the rest either plastic or spiral steel. I don't have any experiences with spiral steel boning, so I don't know which one (spiral steel or plastic) will be better for my purpose. The spiral steel is probably good for very curvy seams, but I think a man's figure will never get very curvy, so I don't know whether that would be necessary.
