Monarch jackets are typically high quality well-tailored. This jacket style with the side adjustments and no half belt, Center seam back goes back to the early 40s. They dropped the side belt for gathered sides. Ive had this jacket in Steerhide too.

I'm really not sure when this new label started. Not horsehide. The MW Brent label probably ends around 1960. This jacket looks 60s to me

Dena, this is Terry in Galesburg. I have had no contact with Dave in several years. Search Monarch leather jacket on ebay. Send him a message through there

High Large, waiting on a storm

What a crazy story! Yes I bought it. Yes it appears to be the same jacket I am wearing in a post referenced above. I got a tip from a member. I recognized the HH tag as RP, but did not recognize the jacket. I was thinking of a Taubers I own. I was still confused when I bought it, then...

I missed this post. Very nice. All the jackets are appealing. The camel Cossack just looks very wearable. I seen the name on ebay. Nice information on the brand. Thanks

I've only worn for a few hours. You have to be aware of the back belt catching on things. Other than that I don't notice it. The adjustment pokes another couple of holes through the belt. I will adjust as needed after some wearing time. I have a Freewheelers denim early style with the same...

Just came in today. Saw this High Large trucker months ago in the classifieds. Found the money and the seller, now mine. Size 44. Will hang with my Fine Creek trucker.
