To my knowledge, buckram simply increases rigidness without adding bulk, because it's quite thin. (Agreed, those photos on the left aren't how the collar should be worn at all... I included them just because I think they provide a good visual reference regarding the collar's construction and rigidness)
There are different type of buckram.
traditional buckram is rigid and not suitable for jackets/ coat or shirts. we use softer interlining ( soft fabric fusing) as attached image.
Currently I'm doing a new coat order with custom fur, although I'm not satisfy the buckram theory but, I'll use this soft interlining to check the result.
IMO, MOVIE coat fur is heavy/ thick, because it used with laminated fabric so it came out rigid or heavy look.

That's looking phenomenal, Jameel Ur . I really like the shoulder panels too.
A couple of questions. Is that the standard color? It seems to darken substantially with the laminating. Are you using acrylic? Are you spraying it on? Can you show us some 'before and after' photos with the fabric?

Just for the record, I'm not saying buckram was used with any certainty. What's clear is that the movie collar is pretty rigid.
My custom collar's construction is made up only of the collar fabric, the single-sided shearing and two coats of waxing. I have experienced floppiness issues, especially on the longer portion of the collar. So, suffice to say, whether it be buckram, interlining fabric, etc. , ideally, the collar should be quite rigid and upholstered.
Looking forward to seeing the results after you've experimented with the different possibilities. Thanks for that, by the way!
This is customer design collar, and I didn't use acrylic neither I spray on it.
I'll share the fabric images soon.

I realize it's a custom design since it's a symmetrical collar.
However, if you didn't use acrylic nor did you spray it, can you please tell us about that particular finish and how you achieved it?

In terms of texture, that lamination looks very close to Soul Revolver's fabric. Great to see.
So, a couple more questions, if you don't mind:
-Color-wise, is this laminated cotton only available in that dark gray color?
-Can this finish be applied to your current standard Officer K coat cotton fabric?

I'm sorry I couldn't find more colors yet, although we made our first prototype sample in this fabric.
I haven't found any fabric manufacturer, that can laminate our canvas fabric, we have limited options.
Here are new coat images, it's an other custom coat.

Using laminated cotton fabric is definitely encouraging to see but sourcing the accurate color is equally important. Dark gray looks nice, no doubt about that, but hopefully you can track down screen accurate color laminated fabric soon. Either that, or some way of laminating the fabric yourselves...

This is really looking great and coming along nicely. Congratulations. Love the new and improved collar dimensions. However, I'm still not sold on the shearling's pale, greyish brown color... It really does need those honey/camel tones, that aside from being more accurate, also provides a nice color contrast with the rest of the coat.

Jameel Ur if you and/or Zlurpo can source this fabric laminated in the proper green color I think many of us would be interested in a proper production run. Would it be possible to contract a company to custom manufacture the right color laminated fabric? If it would add to the final product price I imagine many of us would pay the markup to finally have something accurate and ready made.

Yup - Id be in for one.
One of the biggest issues with that, nobody knows what "laminated" actually means. We don't know what coating it had. So we can't so easily just get someone to do it. We would have to figure out our own version of what that means and then get someone to make it.

Well, you're halfway there, it seems. The same texture and finish as with that dark gray cotton fabric pictured earlier, but sourcing it with the correct SA color.
