Back - 25
Sleeves - 26

Dave borrowed my Original Monarch to help recreate this jacket. This one looks just like it. Dave is a Monarch expert.

Monarch made the Iconic Hercules half-belt in the mid 30s. They are known for their quality and fit. I'm sure Dave followed through on this jacket.

Question:

Can you do a pic of the jacket open, want to see the lining?

Does the zipper have a Talon Sunrise stop box? I think I can see this. Is this an original or repro?

 

[cdallas]

Terry - Below is a picture of the lining. Heavy Pendleton. The zipper has a sunrise stop box which looks to be vintage but I believe it was put on a new zipper. The pull is also original vintage talon. I can get a picture for you when I get home.

What is the hem measurement?

Hem is measured at the bottom of the jacket.

In this alum are pictures of the original Monarch with the California Sportswear label. This was the incorrect label identified by Dave Sheeley. I took these pictures years ago. What you see is the same jacket pictured for sale but the original.

Not for sale. Just showing what Dave created. The original is as fine a half-belt as your can find. Much nicer than the 30s Iconic Hercules made by Monarch. it is as if they had the design figured out. The Monarch tailoring is seen throughout Dave's jacket. I remember corresponding with him over other Monarchs I owned, sending pictures/measurements, then just sent him the jackets!

Dave could have made any jackets he wanted, but he chose Monarch for all of it's construction details that set it apart from other makers.

Thank you for taking the measurement.

Very unfortunately I think it world be a bit too boxy on me.

Gorgeous jacket. GLWS
