Photos of the mandarin collar?

[Whiskey]

Anyone have clear images of the actual mandarin collar?

 

Looking for just screenshots, production/behind the scenes photos, costume tours, etc. 

Not fan made

 

The motm scout does not have one. And I understand this suit is questionable on being a screen used suit

Aside from the green screen head on shot, there's really not a lot of clear primary source examples available. I do have this photo, which is from the side, but it does show the collar profile decently enough.

Thanks chopper. 

 

I’m looking at your image and the collar is folded down and not a mandarin

Like this shot (which I color enhanced)

The mandarin collar, like every aspect of this costume, is open to revision given the right amount of evidence.   This Scout with the open collar (which I've seen about a million times) is so far the only occurrence captured.  So that alone is not enough.  

He is also wearing the rubber stunt armor and the helmet with the unusually large lens, but we aren't making that a standard either.  

But if anyone can find proof that this was the standard, I am certainly open to making changes.  This alone isn't enough.

I have no problem with the verdict.☺️👍🏼

 

That being said, anyone have info? At least an image I can work with no matter how faint.

-Does it fold from the left to the right?

-Right to Left?

-Zip up from the middle?

 

Just looking to get images of the actual collar. I only want to do this right the first time.

 

This is probably the the only thing from keeping me from making my suit pass basic (other than fitting of course)  

thanks in advance! 😁

Last night I spent a good amount of time searching online/books/magazine photos, and watching movie and behind the scenes clips over and over.  

 

Am I right to assume the decision was to create a mandarin collar (without confirmation that it was on a jumpsuit) as a standard due to the on-screen variations of:

-neck seal under open collar 

-no neck seal under open collar

-neck seal over closed collar. 

And could not be decided?

 

i dont want to be on the hunt for a phantom collar if it never existed  

 

I hope I’m not offending anyone by posing this question.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I came on the forum to post a question regarding the jumpsuit collar and this seemed like an appropriate place to ask.

Am I right, based on the CRL, that a mandarin collar is the only approvable collar? That's the way I understand it.

The reason I ask is because I have been looking at a vendor who makes jumpsuits.  He offers 2 versions: #1 with a mandarin collar and faux suede riding patches; and #2 with a v-neck collar (that appears to zip up high) and real suede riding patches.  The vendor says the v-neck is screen accurate and "approvable".

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

My issue is that, like I mentioned above, it seems the mandarin style collar is what is required.  However, I would like the real suede riding patches offered on the v-neck suit since real suede is required for Lancer status. I've included photos of the two collar styles offered...

Vendors say all kinds of silly things like "501st APPROVABLE!" and the such. They want to sell things.  Here's two important things to note:

1.  Nothing is approvable until it has been fitted to the wearer.

2.  Always follow the CRL. That means mandarin collar.  The good news is, they are easy to make.

I believe those images are from KriptonTop's Etsy store?

If you message him beforehand, he should let you purchase the real suede coveralls, but with the mandarin collar instead of the flip down collar.

Thanks BikerScout007 and Chopper. This reaffirms what I was thinking, I just needed to run it by the pros 😀
