About This Jacket:

This is Eastman's latest contract reproduction A-2 jacket. The Monarch A-2s have several unique design details which Eastman has copied. The collar has point tips, and the front and back seam on the shoulders is covered by the epaulettes. The body of most Monarch A-2s are tight for their length, and several samples I've seen are also short in the body compared to the sleeves, which isn't apparent in this repro. The label is extremely close to Monarch's. Some details that are different than origans are the pocket flaps, which are more like a Rough Wear, and the wide shoulders and long epaulettes. Otherwise, this is jacket that looks quite like an original Monarch.

Collection:
George Harris
