Hello my currently Wested order is on hold and so I thought about the collar. How should the correct LC collar be?
I have put in here some pictures from LC jackets of some cow members.

The collar on the last picture looks a bit strange to me. I had a Cowhide LC jacket for one day and it had the same collar and I really hated it.

OK now what is the correct collar? or does it just depend on how you train it?

Much regards

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.

Thanks St. Dumas.

So your collar is SA?

I actually know the Stefan Hill's thread but his collar was not yet trained and so I was a bit confused.
Do you have some new pics of your "worn" and "collartrained" Predistressed LC jacket?

The collar is the least of your problems. The Wested pockets on their LC are totally wrong. They need to be smaller with a longer flap. This is Stefan's best conribution IMHO. Also check out the Smithsonian Inst Indy jacket.

CM I know, thats why I'm gonna order the jacket with "Platons SA Raiders Pockets" with a larger pocketflap.
But I must say. I'm not a big screen accurate fan by myself. But I just don't liked the big batwings looking LC Collar which I have seen on some Wested LC jackets.

I think that the right LC collar was the one that my HIDESIGN jacket has. The one I doneated recently. I believe orb got it.

Can you post some pics?

Yeah I've got it PLATON. I will try to make some pics soon. But the Hidesign Jacket Collar looks a bit small to me

Much regards

No no,

Lay it down flat and compare it with a Wested. You will see.
