Jacket collar with or without separate collar stand?

Hello dear fellow tailors! I have a question regarding collar construction in couture/bespoke tailoring. In both the videos here as well as in the book "vintage couture tailoring" by Thomas von Nordheim, the collar for a jacket is constructed without a separate collar stand. The collar stand is formed by pad stitching and ironing. So I was wondering how to ad the canvas to a collar consisting of two pieces, the collar itself and the collar stand?

Or is the shown method only suitable for one-piece collars?

What about very upright, heavily reinforce collars for e.g. uniform-style coats? Do they traditionally have two-piece collars? And is the canvas for such a collar cut as one piece or also as two pieces?


Thank you so much, I am very happy that I have found this site and community!!
