This is a reproduction 1938 Monarch Aviator made by Diamond Dave of Diamond Cap Co. He made this for me many years ago and it's never been worn. Dave put a lot of care into this jacket and wanted to make sure it was perfect. In fact, he ended up making this twice. It's beautiful and I love it but it just never fit my aesthetic.
Dave's website is now defunct, I'm not sure if he's still making hats, but here is a link to the original listing on his website.

The body is dark Navy Blue, 24 oz Melton wool. The leather is 3 oz. Chrome tanned, aniline dyed, Horsehide. Lining is 100% cotton mid-weight drill. Repro Talon zippers by Waldes. Has a belted action back with side adjusters.
Approximate measurements laid flat: 25.5" sleeve, 19" shoulders, 22" chest, 24" long
Dave was charging $1200 plus $30 shipping for these back in the day. I'm thinking $900 OBO shipped CONUS. International shipping will require a quote.
