Goodwear "Monarch" halfbelt

[Monitor]

No. The lining is just constructed using multiple panels, so it kinda-sorta parallels the leather panels

I see. Thanks! It looks really cool. Just the kind of detail that makes you realize how much love has been invested into this jacket. Pure quality!

Like father like son! Remind me the length on yours, Terry. This clocks in at a short 23", but the low cut on the neck makes it work somehow. JC actually messaged me on it to confirm the story behind it. He said it was like the 7th halfbelt he has made, circa 2009. And at the time he got his first batch of Shinki. The color is absolutely marvelous on it

I've found his Ventura model measures shorter than it actually wears. 23-inches should be clearly too short on you, but it doesn't look short on you.
