tbh the elastic on every single notebook or sketchbook I've bought (no matter the brand) has gone floppy within a year or less. These days I tend to just cut the elastic off as soon as I start using it.
This usually takes me 5 min or so. Once I shelve it I will rip them off if they go floppy. I've found that cheaper brands and moleskines tend to go floppy fastest. But the elastic I put it tends to be good for a longer time.
