£800 plus postage PPFF

NEW with TAGS & certificate.
This has just been received and is 'right out the box'.
I am selling it as unworn, although I have tried it on and to take the fit photos.

Details:
Liberty russet horsehide (Italian)
Dull Brown cotton lining
100% Wool Brown knits
Olive Drab thread
Brass Talon Zipper with painted box, is a TERRIFIC detail (incl. leather zipper pull)

All details & materials are of the highest quality & are correct for this contract.
Bill Kelso's Monarch correctly has two stitch lines visible along the inner edge of the zipper.
Not all reproductions of the Monarch have this detail.

Measurements approximate...
Shoulders - 18"
Pit to pit front - 21.25" to 21.75"
Pit to pit back - 21.5" to 21.75"
Sleeves curve - 26.5" (but this is misguided, the pattern makes the sleeves feel shorter)
Back length - 25"

Sizing & fit is relative.
I am 5'10, 40" chest and 73kgs, average build.
This jacket fits OK, but it feels a touch on the trim side than what I'd prefer.
I would say it's more like a 41 (or roomy 40).
