Unknown Black Halfbelt Leather Jacket - Help Identifying the maker

Hello all,

I recently purchased this half belt leather jacket, and sadly the liner has been taken out. I've been searching the lounge and other resources to try and pin down a maker based on the pattern, but I've had no luck so far. The closest I got was the corduroy collar lining, which is not very conclusive. If anyone is an expert or can help with this, I would be greatly appreciative!

Also, I've attached an image of the back of the jacket as I noticed an odd gradient in the leather. Does anybody know why this is?

Thank you!

The talon zipper stop is a sunrise stopper, and if original to the jacket, would date the jacket to the late 1930s, early 1940s. I can’t tell from the pix, but if shoulder seams, side seams and others are French stitched, it would indicate that it was made by monarch. If not, then there were several, possible makers.

The cuffs and side seams look like they are French stitched if you zoom in on the first photo.
Edit: In the fourth photo.

No pix of the sleeve cuffs, but I assume the are button ups.if the buttons are intact, and original, dollars for donuts they are Bakelite. Nice find, and it looks wearable. Measurements gudachi?
