I haven’t tried but I’m sure with some hot water and a couple clips it could easily be done. I’m a HUGE fan of that wolvie jacket. The coolest in the x-men series and the only one of those movies I liked.

I have a mind to order your 5star Arcadia with that wolverine collar, but if your collar is close enough I might not risk trying to get Shawn to design a new collar. Hmmm, not sure yet.

I wonder if that’s the collar they had originally made for my Cal that I declined b/c it overpowered the jacket?! It doesn’t overpower the LW but the cal I had was not nearly as stout. Looks fantastic! Didn’t look right on this Cal:

I believe this one was made for me although it is certainly possible they had yours lying around still. I wouldn’t be surprised if it fit either considering the fact that the LW CHP is basically a Cal clone.
As far as whether or not it overpowers my jacket, I would have to say it probably does a little but it is so damn pretty I just don’t care. I think that once it gets a little worn in and matted down it will make less of a statement.

FWIW, I don’t think it overpowers the LW. So much so that I’m considering sending mine to JL. Hey, you “copied” my Vanson, I’m going to copy your CHP.

I need to ask if Dena can add the collar. I bet she can.

Copy away J!
I’m sure that Dena could handle this quite easily. I can’t tell you how jazzed I am to have this new collar, it’s almost like having a completely new jacket.

Exactly. I’m torn between the blond or a gray one. Hmm, both?

I made the mistake of not adding the collar. One I won’t make with any future jackets I order. It changes the dynamic and look of the jacket for what is a normally feasible up charge.

I don’t think anything can overpower a LW CHP. Suits that jacket far better than it did my Cal. Would’ve taken three of those to equal the LW.

Absolutely yes to both, and throw in a brown one to boot!
That’s a very astute point you make about the addition of a detachable collar as well. I avoided them on a couple jackets because I didn’t like the idea of the studs poking me in the back of the neck when I wasn’t using the fur collar. As it turns out this hasn’t been a problem and I too will always add this feature to motorcycle jackets going forward.

What!? How dare you! Haven't you read the interview with Stu?

"Myself, I wouldn’t “borrow” someone else’s ideas if a gun was put to my head but that’s why we’re LOST WORLDS. Edgy enough?"

I agree with you. I will probably opt for one on most of my mc jackets. They are a big plus in 40 degree weather, plus they look bad to the bone. That collar rocks on your LW. Can't wait to see one on 1 of JMax's fine jackets.

Oops! You’re right, what I meant to say was:
All ot Stuart’s divine creations are completely unique and original in every way. Any similarity to any other jacket, past or present, is purely coincidental and besides Lost Worlds are better anyway!
Hopefully that covered all the bases...

You forgot to mention how in his infinite creativity, he made all his styles using quantum patterns which other tailors copied in the past but that's not for mere mortals to understand so it's all good.
