That looks great Marc!
I found that you can get a really good deal on those old mouton jackets because they may have bald spots or some funky holes from moths yet there is still plenty of good material to make several new collars for a jacket.
Yep, I payed between €20 and €35 for each coat and they were pretty much in mint condition.

A hide like this is €85 but it's not nearly as nice as those fur coats.

Just read through this thread & it brought back memories of the detatchable mouton collar I had Will make for my Hercules from aero many years ago,I’m not surprised Ken said no way to any requests when he returned.Complete waste of time and money and within a couple of minutes of wearing the jacket the mouton was sitting like a headscarf.,
My all time favourite mouton has got to be my buzz rickson b2,,no one to date has ever called me affected when wearing it ,(yet) :)

À few years ago I had a mouton collar remake for my Buco J23.
I had the chance to possess a black mouton Buco original, to use as a pattern. But I also wanted a ginger color. i had the chance to work with seamstress that were interested in doing this for me. I think it turned out pretty well.
Some pictures (I already posted somewhere in the forum at the time)
