This is nice too:

See how the little part has a fish-mouth shape? When buttoned all the way up it curves around your neck a bit.

This one has a smaller collar;

This is my design diagram as submitted to Shawn.
And here is a example of a collar I like. Trying for this.

That collar looks great!
Thedi’s collars are much better shaped than Aero’s in my opinion.

I really like the Maxwell collar but for this jacket I think that Thedi collar makes more sense.
Shawn must be fed up with me now, but I’ve told him this is my last requested change. Hopefully he can make a minor adjustment without redoing the pattern.
Thanks for the feedback!

A little too wet and gray the next few days so that might be a little tricky

3.25"
(I haven't shaped the collar on this photo yet, as this was initial fit photos)

I'm going to use your collar as an example for my next field leathers jacket, if I may :)

You bet! This collar on the brown cxl one is the best looking for sure. Also check Johnson Leather Instagram page for the del-66 model for close up photo of the collar, I borrowed the collar from that jacket.

This looks fantastic!!! Seal brown goat? Please post pics when it arrives!
Seal veg tanned goat. I asked for the thickest available, but based on the seams and folds in the pics, it appears to not be that thick. In contrast, my langlitz goatskin looks a lot thicker, but I’ll confirm on receipt. Also, not sure if I can tell a difference between this veg tanned and his normal or premium seal brown goatskin. I hope I didn’t get the regular one.

2 minor issues are I asked for a buckle side strap with holes and didn’t get it and the underarm gusset is a few inches longer than I would have liked. These issues aren’t enough for me to ask to fix. Overall, it looks very nice and hope it fits.
