Yeah I getya, and no you're right the chest isn't altered, i looked at pics and the stitching that runs next to the zip looks unaltered haha. The collar does look like its cut at a slanted edge though on that pic, I guess maybe in a similar enough way to the collar pic you edited earlier:

How would you fold the little bit of shearling over and hold it in place then I guess? Unless you make the collar a little wider just next to the zip and somehow got it folded over?
I don't think anyone has ever analysed a jacket in so much detail as much as we have on this thread xD
I guess if you just had it made like that picture we edited, aslong as the zip runs underneath the collar a bit somehow, it would let you fold that edge without the zip stopping you.
With the excess fur you could fold it over the part of the collar that gets folded inwards. I don't know how they managed to keep things in place, but I guess they stitched it tight somewhere? As far as I can see in the pics the zipper teeth run all the way into the collar as it's folded inwards into the top of the collar (without a zipper stop that you normally have at the top of a collar).
Everything all comes down to fit, which affects the whole model and shape/cut of the jacket.
As far as the ribbed fabric on the side panels and underarms is concerned, it's on the outer shell of the jacket and also integrated into the lining of the jacket (including arms) allowing the jacket to stretch out. The original jacket can be completely stretched at these parts, whereas the White Sheep Leather jacket is beginning to tear at the seams on the inside for me (logically). That jacket is too snug and too short for me and the ribbed fabric is merely aesthetic.
Also the jacket has a slimmed down ") (" shape. The Zuhadi jacket doesn't appear to have that.
Ok, here are a few measurements:
The jacket that I have is in size L.
It's 50 cm wide in the shoulders, 60 cm in the armpits/chest, 58 cm at the bottom, but 54 cm in the taille/waist. Smallest width between armholes is 45 cm at the front (46 cm at the horizontal chest seam) and 47 cm at the back (at the horizontal back seam).
But if I measure the suede at the front, it stops at 49 cm wide in the armpit area, then goes inward to 42 cm and then goes outward to 44 cm at the bottom stitches.
At the back the suede runs differently. The front also shows more suede than the back does. It stops at 48 cm wide at the armpit area, then goes inward to only 37 cm (at the curved seam at the back) and then goes outward to only 38 cm at the bottom stitches.
The side panels measure 14,5 cm at the smallest width (at the same height of the curved seam at the back), 17 cm at the bottom stitches and around 17 cm at the height of the armpits. It runs a little bit wider at the top but I'm unable to accurately measure it.
Width of the armhole (measured straight) is 27 cm.
The sleeve length (shoulder to cuff) is comfortably long: 69 cm. Underarm length (armpit to cuff) is 50 cm.
Sleeve width is 21 cm at the armpits and 15 cm at the cuffs.
Also the part of the cuff that sticks out, should only stick out 1,5 cm. At the current Zuhadi jacket the cuffs stick out too much and also the buttons are placed too much outwards consequently (the centre of the buttons are on the same line of the edge of the slit of the sleeve).
Jacket length is 69 cm when measured from the bottom of the collar across the back to the bottom of the hem, 70 cm when measured at the side of the collar to the bottom of the hem. That means that the collar has a curved cut of 1 cm downwards at the back.
Length of the pocket openings at the front is 15 cm.
I hope these measurements help to get you a more proper fit closer to the original. Remember that these measurements are for a size L, so if you need a different size you're dependent on how the jacket gets scaled down.
