Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this Monarch tag from the 1950s?

From what I'd seen the 1930s/40s tags were purple and different.
Monarch used a variety of labels. This is a label used in the 1940s. I was just looking at a thread where Dave Sheeley broke down the numerous Monarch label, but I can't remember which thread it was in! Not a recent post. If I can find it I will post it.

This one is pretty nice, surprised it has not sold. Popular size , nice condition, a model you don't see often. This is probably CSC most 'blinged" MC jacket they produced, stars/studs. So 50s. I've got this jacket in my size with no stars. These jackets are short.

Here it is

Believe it or not, 38US (my size) is not a popular size around here.

Another California Sportswear jacket with an early 50s Wards label. Looks good for 70+ years old.

This Horsehide tag identifies it as made by CSC

Previously closed $950 no bid. New listing $650 bidding. Both in my size but I’m not crazy about them at those prices.

I’ve been excoriated for criticizing their pre-aging but I stand by it - if it looks old before it’s time it’ll look like **** when it’s old.
And I just noticed the Thedi has the dreaded elastisizing on the sides!!
