This one is all about the lining. You just don't see it that often on vintage jackets. This has a great looking, great condition lining that makes for a comfortable jacket on a cool fall evening
Leather is is find condition with no peeling, cracking, flaking, breaking. Zipper is well sewn...
I will do pics with measurements but this video is the best example of how nice these Monarchs fit. Fits like a 44 with a nice tailored fit. I talk more about it in the video. This jacket style is so classy and the color of the Steerhide is very nice. Most like this are brown horsehide.

I bought this guy because I have it's bigger brother and I love it. The "bigger brother" is one of the first online vintage jackets I bought. I will throw up a pic of both.

This is a heart warming story about a jacket deal between two Forum members. One ends up with a Grail Quest jacket.

In this thread we will investigate the origins of the Hercules jacket to see if we can determine who originally manufactured this jacket.

1940s unlabeled Seattle Woolen straight zipped police jacket. Call it West Coast style, plain and simple or short and too the point. These jackets are the basis for the much admired Free Wheelers Mullholland. This style was used all along the West Coast from the 30s through the 60s.

Yes, I know they are from 1997 because I bought them new. My wife had a pair and she insisted I have a pair. Well, I can't wear any type of "Cowboy Boot" with my instep. So, they have just gathered dust.
I think the 85 D means 8.5? I wear a 9/9.5 today.
Very little wear.

I have owned several of this style through the years. This style originally posted in the 1959 Sears catalog.
These jackets were made by Appalachian Tanned and Tailored and sold with their label and the Sears Oakbrook and Fieldmaster labels. They mostly had this pile lining, but other...
Pictures/videos really tell the tale. Mint condition with original tags. This style is also seen with the Hercules label. This Oakbrook edition is from the early mid 60s and made by California Sportswear Company.

This one is in near mint condition with some separation of the lining at the neck and a tear in the lining interior. Even in this condition this will be a tough sell. Many folks don't think they can "pull off" the look, just too much I guess.
Others have made leather pull overs going back...
I always like to find and offer up a larger sized jacket. This guy is at least a 46 and too big for me. I know vintage jackets are tough to find larger than a 44.
You can call this jacket Rare and be accurate! This is the only Wards labeled Cafe Racer style jacket I have seen. Very much...
I've never owned a Langlitz jacket and don't even know the model name. I bought it knowing it would not fit, just too cool to pass and I wanted to have one in hand.
This jacket does not disappoint, quality all the way. In the large world of Cafe Racers this one stands out. The leather and...
