Hi Peacoat,
As I've mentioned to you in PM's, I've bought another coat (1945 dated) and the collar on that one is FRICKEN' HUGE! We'll... maybe not that big but it does come well over my ears when pulled up. My 1952 coat is well under my ears ~
My 1952 coat was my first and I wasn't really aware what I was looking for then. The collar measures 3 3/4". Perhaps because of the rip, the previous owner altered it but to my eye it does not appear so or maybe there was some variety in collars.
