Is the heaviness from the interior padding? My guess is moreso the padding since we sourced the suede from the actual Ugg jacket

It could well be a bit of both but the suede is definitely thicker on the magnoli jacket Dont get me wrong the magnoli jacket i have is total class but just is not as comfortable or body moulded like the ugg

Hi Raor i took my ugg jacket to have the collar changed at a professional tailoring company who apparently design for famous brands. it took me 3 hours to get to the place and when i arrived and explained what i wanted in the pic below they said to redesign the bulge part of the collar on the left side was virtually impossible to do" They claim that euyln womble just mishmashed that side of the collar together quickly because the jacket was neede on set! what are your thoughts and do you have any advice for me on how to exactly explain how to design this look please?
Good thing they didn't alter it, because you didn't quite provide them with the clearest of pictures to say the least. Looking at those pictures I would have just cut the collar short and turned the shearling over the edge like you did with your replica jackets. That's a good way to have the UGG jacket professionally ruined.
I've already explained a number of times how I believe the collar was altered. I even provided you with clearer pictures than the picture you provided. Why didn't you use those instead?
Here's an updated one:
Thing is that the alterations themselves aren't too difficult once you know how it's altered. It's the explaining of and communicating to others about how Eulyn Womble has altered the collar exactly that's difficult. And add to that the fact that you want it to look identical to a certain alteration. What they said about Womble having mishmashed the left part of the collar (the left part of the picture or the left part of the collar, i.e. right part of the picture?), well they're probably right. In fact, Womble mishmashed all of the collars herself, because all collars on the three UGG jackets that are used in the series look different from one another. Even she couldn't replicate her own alterations 100%.
But like I said, it's best to do it yourself, because that way you have full control over it. And if something might go wrong, you would only have yourself to blame for it.

hi i explained evrything we have already spoke about on here and they are stillconfused but it does not matter now as i am just going to have it styled like the right side in stead the seamstress says she can see the collar very clearly in the pics i gave her as this was not the only pic i gave her she has front side and back views. as to me doing it myself i am not a taylor in any shape or form and i would not dare touch the collar on my own. the good thing is i am going to bethere when they style it step by step when they start so as to help them. i was only asking you if there was a way to explain it to them easier dude thats all
Sure, I understand. However, there's nothing that suggests that the left side has been altered differently from the right side on purpose. They probably just came out slightly different from each other. So if the seamstress knows how one side is altered, she knows how the other side is altered. I think it would only take a slight tweak to get the look you want.

Hi Razor Indy is still trying to make the collar right on my jacket i ordered a while back He says it is very tricky to do i have given him every bit of info i possibly can but he says it is difficult to achieve, i do know where he is coming from. My other actual ugg jacket is still in process over in my local city and they are letting me know today or tomorrow about me coming in to oversee the collar alterations .

yes i have got my ugg jacket back from the taylors i took it to, to alter the collar and it was a massive success, i was totally right not to do it myself as i would have ballsed it right up. i now can see how many different things are going on with the collar that i did not know before. one being how without having the special toledo shearling on the jacket you are never gonna get very close to a truely accurate collar design the toledo is so much better quality and much thicker than the whitesheep and magnoli attempts. one of the things the designers did for me to shape the top of the collar was put adjustable wire along it so i can tweek it to my desired look. i believe it is 99per cent accurate to the pictures i posted. they tucked the zipper into the collar creating the bulge effect and also folded the shearling over as close to the original as i have seen. i will post pictures with a decent camera tomorrow with any luck. i am extremely happy with this collar result and after 4 or 5 long years i think i have reached my goal!!! my indy jacket has had to have the collar redone as it was nowhere near how i wanted it, but me and magnoli clothiers are working on it and i think we are on the same page now

Nobody?
I know of one person on this forum, but IMO he screwed up the collar, simply cutting the collar straight, and so far proved to be reluctant to help out. No way are you getting that collar correct without fixing it up by replacing the suede, shearling and zippers. A damn shame if you'd ask me:

My altered collar looks nothing like this at all

You dont need to rplace the shearling or zippers to gett he collar as close as possible in my opinion itsa case of unattachung the exiiting zipper and when you have the correct angle of the exisiting shearling shaped and cut you then attach the ziptrack thus having the angle. Also why replace the exisiting shearling on the ugg ?mine was cut down and shaped?
Well, you'd need some leeway to work with, because the zipper still needs to be tucked into the collar. In the picture of the altered jacket that I posted the collar is cut too straight and too short to have that leeway. You'd need an extra inch or so of material to cover the curve and to create that bulge effect in a satisfying way, I'd say.
Well that's a relief, I guess.

with the size of myold ugg collar and plenty of excess zip inside the shearling it was pefect to tuck back in and create the bulge you can also manipulate the bul;ge on the jacket to make it smaller by simply moulding with two fingers and like i said with the wire oacroos the top of the collar you can shape it how you want i will try topost pics to do it justice wearing it when i can

This thread oughta get an award or something for best support haha (EDIT: and best continuity). As I absolutely love that everyone is still working towards something here.
How’s the progress on everything so far gentlemen? I still have my Magnoli Suede but unfortunately it won’t get cold enough to use it as it’s a heavy jacket suited for 30 below and mostly here in Texas in Fall is low of 40 and high of 55 - 60 so I’ve just been wearing fleece jacket, winter should be coming soon though.

I was looking on Ebay hoping to find the coveted Ugg Belfast... I didn't but I found another UGG Jacket so I bought it only problem is its to small and doesn't fit but while I was looking at it I noticed the zippers from what I can tell they seem to be the same as on the Belfast.
