You can make it yourself. Not very difficult. There are some members who have made themselves. I made my own for a schott "bomber" type in the early 80s by hand. Good stiching job lastly for a long time. I year later I got a singer 201 and starter to use machines. However, the hand stich was just as good. You can get nice mouton for cheap. Try to use thread 69 or above. Stay away from Polyester thread.
Good luck with your project and please share your work.

I’m reading this as you are looking to buy a jacket with a mouton collar. In that case the proper model is g1 not a2
How about a classic Schott 184sm. I Purchased mine in 1983. I used to call it the bear because I constructed a nice mouton liner and collar. Mine had an original gold satin finish liner and a remobable dark brown fake mounton fabric winter liner and collar. They can be had for sub $200 in the used market. Great jacket for the price.
