My New Good Wear Monarch- 1941 In a Box

[SuinBruin]

Mean spirited? Who referred to a jacket maker's products and observations as to his patterns and tailoring as "king's new clothes"? Was that offered as constructive criticism? :roll:

The photos you pulled do not show what you want them to show. Period. Man up and admit it or leave off.

P.S. I haven't handled more original A-2s than anyone... I just have a pair of eyes and know how to use them. If that comes across as "smug" to you, you probably deal with quite a lot of "smugness" in those around you.

Jeez, so the guys saying nice things about Good Wear are mean-spirited? Say What?

Last time I checked, this was MY thread about MY Good Wear Monarch.

In majormajor1s thread about his Eastman Monarch, I made a polite and honestly appreciative post about his jacket's hide.

And his contribution to my thread was...well.

I don't usually get into the online peeing contests too much, but I just had to comment and address that 'mean-spirited' comment.

As I said before, I welcome honestly constructive criticism, but I had a feeling this was going to turn into a knocking of Good Wear somehow. Call me psychic.

Clyde, my comment was sincere. Ive just asked John to make an exact copy of your Monarch for me. Hope we wont meet at the same Party wearing the same jacket !

So you won't be needing your current one Carlo?

Carlo,

I'm very happy to hear you are ordering a Monarch like this one. I think you will love it!

Good morning, gents. I've been in the middle of a move for the past week or so, and not kept up with the 'news' here. Looks like I missed a swell batch of fireworks here in this thread!

Clyde, I'm knocked out by your Monarch. If/when I win the lottery, a monarch like yours will be on order before lunch. Thanks for the pics--such sweet torment.

Thanks, Jack. Yeah it turned into a pretty interesting thread. :lol:

The jacket is killer, I hope you get one.

Beautiful Monarch. John's nailed it!!

 

[Clyde from Carolina]

Thanks, Paddy. It's a beauty jacket and IMHO John has the pattern down pat.

That's a great looking jacket, Clyde. And, as has been alluded to by others, that may be the best fitting repro A-2 I have ever seen.

Thank you, sir.

That is truly a sublime compliment. Just got lucky with this one.
