Who makes the most authentic Last Crusade Collar?

Post by St. Dumas »

Currently, Wested's Last Crusade collar configuration is the same as its Raiders and Temple collar,collar stand and storm flap setup. I know one of our members had once ordered and received a modified Crusade collar from Wested, but those mods haven't made it into regular Wested production. Any thoughts on which jacket producer makes the most authentic Crusade collar?

It is? :shock: That's news to me. The Wested LC jacket's I've received the past have ALWAYS had the correct larger collar. When did this start? :-s

LC Collar

Post by St. Dumas »

I like Wested's Crusade jacket just fine myself, but Stefan Hills' post a few years back got me thinking:
viewtopic.php?=6763&highlight=crusade+collar+stand

Then I read what some of the other members on this forum had written about the taller collar stand. Whipwarrior even made his own modifications:

I'm not that much of a stickler for details, but I wanted to hear what some of the Club patrons thought.

Ah, I understand your question now. The size has always been right, but the stand and storm flap set up has NEVER been correct. As you say, whipwarrior changed his to be the most correct I've ever seen when he posted his photos.

I'm not aware of ANY other vendors making the LC jacket, so you're kind of stuck with what you have...Wested.
