The Good Wear "Monarch Messenger".

It's not totally new (see the about info) but it sure looks great!

I think this is a winner - and it's not normally my cuppa, but I think I've seen the light with these pics.

More pics can be seen here: http://www.goodwearleather.com/photos/Monarch_Messenger_01/

Very nice, as John's stuff always is. Reminiscent of Aero's Herc', but it's very much JC's creation - I like the simplicity of the pockets. What leather is he using?

Nice! I am not a mega fan of the front piping, but i really like the back, half belt and shoulder gussets.

The leather looks great, makes me wish i could wear brown leather!

As the "About" pic says, it's "cowhide" - no mention of the brand/cut, etc...
It's killer, that's all I know. And I think it's smart of JC to brach out more into Civi models.

I agree. It is killer.

That's a beauty!

Man, that's gorgeous! Leather looks very similar to Octagon in color and with the nice variation across the hide. Really great to see an all new model from John, or anyone for that matter, it's been a little slow lately. Thanks for posting Butte.

P.S. I know NOTHING about sewing leather jackets but that front curve and piping cannot be easy.

 

[Sloan1874]

I know what you mean. To keep that curve smooth and even must take a steady hand and nerves of steel.

So it's the Arcadia with a new label, it's still a beauty though.

WE have a mutual understanding. She gets her purses and other expensive items (when money allows) and I get a jacket now and then...
