I just received some swatches, one of them the brown shinki pony. Next to these other browns (Eastman a1, elmc havana californian, aero seal Vicenza), you can tell it has some Burgundy undertones. It's a pull-up leather which I think will age beautifully. Perfect for my next halfbelt project.

I guess I should update this thread with Greg's first attempt of a detachable mouton collar. Good thing he had to remake my jacket so he is able to use the spare one for research and practice. He looked into different makers construction of the collar but looks like the original buco construction is what works best.

First mock up attempt

2nd mock up version

The dull brass snap is hardly noticeable And blends well with the fur

Love how he reinforced the collar backing, lovely stitchwork with the double row stitches.

When I request a detachable collar next time, I'll have him replicate a Cal CHP collar design/construction/snap placement. They still look the cleanest and most incognito.
