I like smaller leaner' shaper angle on the curve if shawl just like a normal mandarin collar folded down, I don't really like very wide very round like that himel shawl. and def not liking that lining on the lapel, I prefer seamless from collar to lapel perhaps the seam is down at where the 3rd button is so it won't shows, but if that's wasting too much leather then I rather have the seam vertically on the back of the neck and have the whole visible lapel down to the facing seamless, rather than seam on the collar base on a shawl collar, I think it defeats the idea.

It's personal taste, isn't it? People seem to love a shawl collar. I've always found them really cheesy.

I'm sure like in all things, it's just personal preference. I hope that when I finally get one that it will suit me well. Ill admit that it does look very proper indeed

I tried but I didn't like it.

I'm going to try again with this smaller standup shawl collar which looks cool judging by the photos. But sometimes things look cool on others but not so much on yourself. I'll know pretty soon, it will be delivered this week. Fingers crossed :)

Okay, is it because you don't like how it looks on you? Or maybe something to do with form/function?

Funny you say that, I actually think that that one of yours is the one that fits/looks best on you.


Only personal taste. In terms of function, a mandarin collar would be enough for every jacket (for me).
I actually only wear my shawl collar upright now. Since it is rather small, it works quite well.

I like them popped up more than folded down as shawl, I find it easier to stay popped up all day too maybe since the corner is connected to the body of the jacket, my own chin doesnt push it down like popped up shirt collar that always need to be re popped every so often.

I agree, that did not work well. The second Thedi looks better for a range of reasons. Possibly the mix of fabrics and textures too. Nice one.

I don't like it like that either, it does look good smaller and upright too. I'll stick with the second version, it's easier to spot all these things with examples.

Good luck with the new smaller collar Marc, looking forward to seeing some pictures.
