ELC Monarch A-2 Size 42

Well I went and did it. I got my first ELC jacket and took a page out of @Brettafett book. Him and I tend to be very similar in sizing except I didn't add the extra length to my Monarch. No special aging, haven't been in the shower with it, no tennis balls in a drying machine. This is the warhorse havana with all its quirks and the grain is already beautiful. On to the photos:

I'd say mine has a touch more brown hues compared to @Brettafett which seems more red. Overall the amount of grain seems very similar and I can't wait to see how this jacket breaks in over the years! I feel like the fit is pretty good and I hope you guys feel the same way ;). Getting this jacket wouldn't have been possible without the sage advice from the guys here on the forums.
