Hello gents (& ladies)... I am back to considering letting this go.
Its not been worn much and has not been tampered with in any way. Its an incredible jacket and this particular batch of Warhorse is crazy good.
I dont want to 'give it away', but do understand its not a 'brand new' jacket... Although it is in relatively new condition.
Pet free & smoke free home.
If anyones tempted, pls pm me.

@Kermit3D, surely you could use a russet A-2 jacket, couldn't you?

Which one do you want to trade? the 40 or 42?

I only have the one recent ELC Monarch in 42 (the one this thread is base on)... Considering shifting it to a new home.

This is definitely a very nice jacket. But my car needs a new alternator...

I have a 44 GW I would trade but you are going the other way...

Just clarify, seeing as Ive had some queries...

The lighter russet jacket was an off-the-rack 42 I tried for fit. I returned it, for a new build, a regular 42 with for 0.5" added to sleeves and which was made from the last of the batch of a crazy good 'vintagey' warhorse (as far as I know, nether of the above particular leathers are available anymore)....

So this the jacket I currently have, the one that was reviewed above, and am considering selling.
It just feels a touch roomy for me in the body. Pedantic maybe, but I have 3 other jackets that fit me better (and more on the way)...
Its still relatively new and not been worn much.

Shoulder to shoulder - 18” (just a hair over)
Pit to pit front - 22”
Pit to pit back - 22” just
Sleeve (along the outer curve) - 26.5”
Back length incl knit 25.75” to 26”

Not actively advertising it, just wanted to gauge interest.

Some updated pics.
This is now going on the For Sale page and also on ELCs Classifieds...
Thanks

Just looking at those photos again and I'm reminded of how gorgeous that jacket is. It should sell fast.

 

[Brettafett]

Thanks Jan, been a hard couple of weeks debating letting it go, but its the right call.
Moving on.

That’s just a beautiful russet hide. It should sell in a heart beat. GLWYS

Your right Brett . My apologies. I shouldn’t have added that after thought . It’s coming down .

 

[Brettafett]

Not at all Burt...
Im not desperate to sell it, so this wont go on Ebay. If it keeps the other jackets company, thats fine.

Was looking up Monarchs and somehow found this thread and now curious, did this ever sell? Such a great looking jacket on you that I hope you kept it!

just thought to post these pix of my elf monarch.....which I should have done back when. the jacket is about 5 years old, and was ordered with very light colored hh. the stopper box and zipper puller are painted brown. the zipper run anodized black [much has rubbed off]. the 8th shoulder pa

tch is enamel painted on the sleeve. the jacket has been worn a bit,in all kinds of weather. tagged a size 42. these pix make the jacket look a stop darker than it is.
