I have an original. In my opinion one of the best made collars period. HD and Cal are very close second. I made some but I am not happy with them. I will continue practicing to improve my skills. If you like, there is a link for my post on collars. Very nice members have contributed with some impressive patterns.@photo2u thank you man. It's crushing once you deal with shipping and exchange to Canada, and this one was a now or never shot. When it arrived it was dry, wrinkled and "full of character". Even though it was a solid buy in USD, when the dust settled it was humbling.
I think a mouton collar would take this jacket to another planet.
The difficult part for me, was to find the period correct l24 nickel snaps. You are very lucky your jacket came with the original belt. For my Bucos it was a pain to find the company who made the rivets. Luckly for me, they still make the same solid brass rivets Buco used for their belts. Sadly, I currently using a 70s belt buckle for my recrafted belt. I have not been able to find a 50s buckle. If any one has one for sale, I will take it! with Gusto!!!
