Thanks, Greg, Edward Re the restoration

I've gone back though the file, unfortunately we don't have "before" pic but according to the docs we only replaced one half of the back collar.
To be honest I'm not sure which half we replaced and which is original. Bit of the old collar sticking out of the pocket

I can't take the credit apart from finding the leather and doing the creasing, Christine did the sewing.

Don't know why I like that one so much

I’d bet cash money the customer himself couldn’t tell you.

I’m guessing the customer got the bill and wasn’t happy with that, and thought the best way to mitigate it was to complain about the work

I do remember, with some trolling back through the grey cells, the grainy half (LH Side of Pic) must be the replacement half of the collar as the square was missing from the right hand side when worn, a couple of inches away from the studding
