the first RW without collar stand?

[SuinBruin]

Nice jacket Andrew, and very cool to confirm that this is a production variant for RW.

Hello Andrew, great jacket .
I never saw this variant before in books and in specs descriptions... there's something new to learn every day here.
Thanks!
I just wonder where the missing half of the koala's half jacket did go...

Thanks Andrew. That is interesting the top and bottom of the collar are seamed like that. Much more obvious it was intentioal. Could have been economy of citting, like three piece sleeves.
You would think there might be more info on this variant. Yours must have been issued and not just a mistake. Big question is how many like it were made. Must have been more than two.
