A2 Flight Jacket help to identify

[DanielMunich]

Hi All,
Perhaps you can help me..
I have this A2 Flight Jacket.
I am not sure is it a Rough Wear or a Monarch?
And is it War time or Post War? They have no Tag inside. I once heard that the lining was changed because it was more comfortable to wear. Or was it just broken at some point.
Thank you look forward to answering
Best Regards Daniel

Monarch a-2. Monarch had only one wwll a-2 contract in 1941. I can’t tell from the pix, but the liner looks original, but the knit elements appear to have been replaced.

Hi Silver Surfer,
Thank you very much, Okay.. I was almost certain about it there was a Monarch. I think the Knit was replaced but they have two different colors.
The liner have nice rust brown/red color but I can't find any puncture holes for the us army tag!

Agree, nice original Monarch. Look like it still has it's original brown painted Talon zip as well. Nice find, Daniel.

I think the liner’s been done as well. Note the lines of stitch holes on the collar. Lovely patina. You gotta get the knits done. Several folk here who can sort that for you.
