Real Mccoy J-22, Mouton Collar Fits

[Chris_K]

Yeah I need to give it a little time. The shinki takes a bit of time to mold and I just haven't worn it much at all. My Highwayman is even boxier than the J24 but broken in it feels pretty good. I am still hunting an older fit jacket around 2021 though haha just in case...

I hear ya, haha, never satisfied - nice! Would like to get my hands on the new fit, size 42, maybe next year.

Well, it has been a long time coming.
I have always Loved the way J-24 looked and thought I would never be able to pull it off.
The fit stopped me for a while but I never gave up searching. Until I found a solution.
So, Here I am offering what I have learned with a few that might be still searching.

I wear 40 in J-100 and it fits me like a glove.
shoulders: 18 inch
P2P : 21
and sleeves 24.5: inch
So my issue with J-100 is that the Jacket looks great but my mobility is close to 50%. (That said I still have it and wear it from time to time).

So in search of corss zipped I found out that J-22 offers a more roomy interior and looks the same as J-24. (trimmed fit)
While back I pulled the trigger on size 40 and couldn't have been happier.
shoulders are 18, p2p 21 but it offers more room in the arms and for sure I can move with it and carry my daily tasks.

Here is where things got a little complicated. I loved the look of the mouton collars on the J-24 but there was 0 information on what fits a J-22.
The Real Mccoy site tells you that the new Mouton collars do not fit older models J-22 included. Yet when I would compare the location of the snaps with the old/new models they looked similar.
well after many many months of searching, I found one member here who had tried fitting a new mouton collar to his J-22 successfully. So I was able to work a deal with one of the members here and got one. model # BJ21101

WOW, in my opinion, it changed the look of the J-22 completely
So I am here to promote the fir of the J-22s and go on record with pictures that the Collar fits, ......
I hope this inspires more J-22 owners to buy / fit the collar and have fun.

Hi

I’m trying to get a mouton collar made for a cross zip jacket. I’m interested in how your Buco mouton collar is constructed. Would be amazing if you could post some pics of the underside of the mouton collar and where it’s connected to the jacket collar.

Thank you in advance

Maybe this tread might help.

Friends, I am thinking of creating mouton collars for some of my jackets. However, I do not have some of the original patterns to guide me. I was thinking we can share images, so others can benefit and perhaps make their own. Currently, I have the following. 1. Original J24 Buco. 2. Vanson...

Hi! What size did you get for your mouton collar? I’m thinking about getting one for my J-22, but I’m not sure which size to go for. Should I get the same size as my jacket?

Hi there! Yes, I got the same size as the jacket. I know the site says it won’t work, but it did for me. I thought one of the back tabs might be slightly off at first, but it doesn’t bother me at all. The leather stretched just enough to make it fit perfectly. I’ve been wearing it ever since! I highly recommend getting it — it really transforms the look.
