Was the collar stand above the storm flap on the ROLA jacket

Post by Marc »

G'day Ladies and Gentlemen,

been dooing some researches on the Raiders jacket lately and wondering about that storm flap...

On my current Wested the collar stand goes on over the storm flap. But is this screen accurate or did the storm flap go all the way up to the collar (so the collar stand stops where the storm flap starts)?

Please help,

Marc

Hey Marc! :)

I think the LC jacket, at least, had the flap all one piece all the way up, the collar stand joining it on the side - here's a picture of the Smithsonian jacket from an old post I found on COW:

My Wested's don't have this - the collar stand comes all the way round making a join about 2cm down from the 'top' of the storm flap.

Regards

Al

Ahhh, Al's close to what I mean!

Now on the LC jacket I believe the storm flap did NOT go up all the way to the collar. It ends the same place as on the my current Wested Raiders but without the collar stand above it (as if you'd cut the collar stand which is above the storm flap away). Since the collar on the Raiders jacket is said to start in the middle of the storm flap, there has to be either the collar stand or the storm flap directly below. Which one? OR: The theory of the collar starting in the middle of the storm flap is wrong. Then what?

Regards,

Marc

For the Raiders jacket anyways, the collar stand extends out to the halfway point of the storm flap or the middle.

...and "turns" directly over into the collar! Thanks Jason, that's the info I was hoping for.

How about the right side of the jacket? Was the collar stand extended all the way out to where the zipper ends and where did the collar start?

WAIT! I'm sorry, Marc. It's the actual collar that extends to the middle of the collar stand. The collar stand sits directly on top of the storm flap and extends all the way to the edge of the jacket.
Here's a nice close pic of it. http://www.theindyexperience.com/photo_ ... rk/119.jpg

AHA! I think I finally got it.

So I suppose it's the same on the right side of the jacket?

I've really tryed to find screen grabs that shows clearly, but so far no luck.

Thanks for the help!

Regards,

Marc
