Ahh, these LC threads are refreshing.
Orb, check out Stefan Hills' custom LC job on this thread:
viewtopic.php?t=6763&highlight=crusade+collar+stand
This is how the SA set-up should be, although I think the screen collar is actually larger still than the Raiders or TOD collar. The LC collar stand does not extend onto the storm flap, so the female part of the snap button on the storm flap is actually
below the collar stand level. The male part of the button snap is below the collar stand as well (not on the collar stand).
The reason for the unique look of the collar onscreen was that the collar stand was taller and incorporated into the collar itself, giving it the look of a much larger collar when curled over. You can see this in close-ups of the collar where the seam joining the collar and the stand can be seen at the
top of the actual curl itself.
Despite these differences, Peter's LC jacket (which I like) ends up looking a lot like the screen version (in my opinion) once the collar is trained.
Whipwarrior also made some modifications to his own LC Wested. His LC arrived with no snaps, so he put them on after he cut and restitched the top of the storm flap to get the SA look, and ended up with a real accurate looking jacket. I see now that the pics are no longer on COW.
