original monarch a-2

[Silver Surfer]

I forget where it was that someone here was asking to see original monarch a-2s. well, Heres one. tagged a size 44 it fits as a 42 on the longish side. oh, and about "would you wear a 80 year old jacket?" yes I do, and this monarch is one of them. baby bottom soft, and good to go certainly for the duration of my life time. the back of the collar pic is to show the color difference between the hidden under color color, and how the rest of the jacket is sun faded.

Beautiful, love that skin, it has a lot of personality and character and looks super solid.

Interesting that the blackened Talon appears to be an M-42 (double-marked) instead of the M-39 (triple-marked) that you normally see.

Are the lining and wool knit originals ?

Outstanding jacket ! I love it.

Probably the only contract to use a brass talon puller in early 42.. All original, soup to nutz.
