Sheeley Monarch AN-J-3A Size 40

[coolhandluke_7]

As much as it pains me, I've put on a few pounds and outgrown my Sheeley Monarch AN-J-3A. This jacket was received from Dave on July 24th, 2023 and has likely been worn less than 20 times. I tend to baby my jackets, to a fault, so it's nearly in the same condition that it was received in. This particular jacket was patterned from USN aviator John Z. Colt's Monarch AN-J-3A, which was also a size 40. There's nothing of note to mention as far as the condition is concerned, aside from a small hide blemish on the left sleeve, which was present when the jacket was originally received. I can provide additional photos upon request. Below is a link with additional details on the jacket from Dave's eBay listing.

Beautiful jacket. The AN-J-3A is the goat hide or horse hide version?

There were both goat and HH AN-J-3A contracts. This one is goat. The only contract that I am aware of that utilized HH on the AN-J-3A was Willis and Geiger. Mr. Sheeley also offers a reproduction of that jacket.
