Man, it seems like used Goodwears are popping up like dandelions on eBay these days. I'm just glad they've all been wrong size or wrong contract for me so far, or my bank account might be in trouble...

Does this belong to anyone here?

Got one the same except its 44”! Said here numerous times what a great fit it is, sitting perfectly across the shoulders, love it, prob more than my Dubow original, however, I never considered it could sell for that much, not that I’m thinking of selling!!!

Question is why are people selling them?Weight loss or gain, change of circumstances?

 

[ausreenactor]

Moving to cheaper jackets....

Too many jackets.

Something different is always nice. I was down to one A-2, just the GW goatskin Dubow and really wanted to get back into a horsehide jacket. Picked up a nice GW Knopf and made the switch. Good leather jacket time of year in these parts.

Pretty crazy that it wasn't yesterday!

My Gibson & Barnes russet goat was in the rotation today, but my arms just aren't long enough for selfies.

Any chance of a photo of the Knopf or a link please? Thanks!

That's tempting.
From what I've read on the forum, original makers A-2's all appear to have a different pattern/fit/cut... what's the fit of a Monarch ? Slender ?

That's a pity, I've just measured my Eastman A-1 and from that it appears the Monarch's sleeves and length will be too long for me... it's a nice jacket though, love the colour.

the seller isn't measuring the elf monarch correctly, unless he shrank it. .orang arms?

 

[ausreenactor]

Elf Monarchs are small...
