of course the detachable collar doesn’t fit the size 46, and it’s a small deception to me that it has a synthetic mouton fleece.
So I’ve been planning in my free time, on reproduce this collar for my bigger size jacket and one with a real mouton panel!
that’s the amateur experience in modestly share with you. So please don’t be too harsh, as it’s a trial and errors fun activity . the result is far from perfect but it does the job.
here’s a few Picts of the process.
first, tracing a pattern from the original collar, and extrapoling the measures…
cutting the parts in an heavy paper/cardboard.
Disassembling a vintage golden mouton coat
cutting the leather parts
sewing as best as I can, with my 70’s industrial JuKi Sewing machine
Aaaaaand, here it is!
The leather I used is a bit stiff but hopefully it will soften.
