Machine-padded collar.Originally Posted by Manton
Breast pocket should be patch.
Only geeks get the spalla camicia.
Manton, you say "machine-padded collar" because of the even stitching on the collar? Unlike the hand-attached felt pad, the only way to tell whether the collar is hand or machine padded is to take it apart and look? Any other way to do it?
Very nice coat by the way. BIG lapels.

The trailing stitch is the dead giveaway. Yes, the only way to tell on a finished coat is to take it apart.
To be honest, a machine-padded collar is not a big deal. I have used tailors who machine pad the collars, and others who hand pad them, and I don't think it makes a difference.

I think it looks sharp, the lapels seemed a little large but that could just be the photo. I'd be happy with it in my collection.Originally Posted by A Canuker
Lapels on the first fitting was 10cm. During the second fitting (no pix) it was 9 or 9.5cm. What makes it look overly large is because the canvas is exposed, and thus drawing ones eyes towards it.
