If I cut of the colar of my jacket will it get all wide and stretched after a view years? My mom keeps telling me the jacket will get pretty fucked up but i'm considering to cut it off (it covers some patches :P)
just do what I did: fold it and sow it shut. This way you will keep the collar and it will not cover your patches. remember that when once the collar is cut of, there's no getting it back on. just sow it tight and then you can always cut it off later, if you like it more that way
Ive left mine on but im making a new one that will go over my leather jacket and on that one ill cut the collar off. My current one is a more fitted vest and wont go over my leather.
My collar is cut off as well as the pieces where the buttons and button holes usually are.
I stitched the edges with a sewing machine so that there'll be no fringes (worked out well for 1.5 years and counting.).
My mom has nothing to say about my jacket, i just asked her 'will it get fucked up?'. she said it probably will. But I decided to just get it off, we'll see how it turn out

don't do that, it's just ugly with no collar. But if you do it, you can sew the jacket so it won't get ugly and damaged

Personally I wouldn't do it, as there is room for strip patches and pins.

If you use a leather jacket, it looks better without a collar - my opinion.
I cut the collar of my battle jacket too.
I don´t think, that i will look fucked up. It´s your jacket, not your mom´s. ;-)

Comments like this one is exactly why I read the Forum section. I've debated the collar issue and this is the perfect solution. Thanks.

I wonder how many bikers' mothers have a strong influence over their vests.

Well mothers would generally be the ones with the knowledge so it'd almost be foolish not to at least consider their advice.

I cut the collar off mine, cuz it covered some patches. but I used a light hoodie as a liner for it, and that looks pretty cool, and its warm:)

I don´t cut the colar of my new Denim Kutte because it´s more free space to sew on patches
