Questions about G-1 7823 Monarch vs Cagleco contracts

[Abyss]

Hello all!

Could someone tell me how these two contracts compare with respect to fit and collar size? I haven’t been able to try either one myself yet.

Also, any fit pictures of these contracts would be most appreciated.

Best regards!

Can’t really comment on the fit but…. IMHO ….. I think the Monarch is more; desirable/better made/ collectable/better goatskin than a Cagleco. But … that’s just my opinion.

Thanks, B-Man2!

Anyone else have thoughts about this or pictures they would like to share?

I own both a MONARCH as well as a CAGLECO - both in size 46

The CAGLECO fits my body-shape pretty well - but the differences are minimal.

As for the overall impression i think a MONARCH would be more desirable because of the arguments Burt already mentioned.

I check for photos ...

Well those pics are difficult to compare but anyway:

- the goat looks better on the MONARCH and the mouton feels kinda "more substancial" (difficult to describe)
- i like the fit of the CAGLECO over the MONARCH but that's just my personal preference

Thanks Thomas. Both beautiful jackets however I particularly like that Monarch, really great fit, that's a really special U.S.N jacket, quite a rare one too!

You are right - actually it was my “real vintage” G1 and started my interest in those jackets.

Owned an ORCHARD before but that one was from the 1990ies
