Nice jacket. Curious as to why you went for seal?
Have not seen much regs the BK Monarch. I've had one on order for over 10 months now(!)
When I bought it about ten years ago I had no historical knowledge about the A-2s. I just bought the jacket whose color and shape I liked the most on the BK website. .I was delivered almost a year later.

Speedy recovery sir, recently had hip surgery so I know the feeling. No better way to get through it than wearing a beautiful GW.

April showers and general drizzly murkiness so a somewhat later Barbour Solway Zipper this time. As well as the usual morning outdoor duties I also had some electric fence to move, this was taken when I got back.
Compared to the real vintage Solway Zipper I was wearing in one of the my last photos, this one is a relatively youthful but still worn for work, and play, example.
Regarding the Royal Warrant crests on the labels….
This one has two. Barbour received Royal Warrants from the Duke of Edinburgh in 1974, Her Majesty the Queen in 1982 and the Prince of Wales (now King Charles) in 1987.

I tell you those "sailors" had much cooler stuff to wear than the airforce guys ...
jacket as well as chambray along with the cap give a cool matching combination!

silly me today...
out of all jackets I own, I chose the not completely right one for the weather here
Note to oneself...if the temps barely get above 10°C don't choose a Light Zone flight jacket when you have some rather warmer ones in your closet as well...

Despite the wrong choice of jacket, it still looks great on you buddy.

Like Lorenzo already mentioned: maybe too light for the current temps but still cool lookin’ L2 jacket!
What’s the maker?

thanks a lot for the compliments guys
@Thomas Koehle this is a BR L-2B made with a Tops Apparel label inside.
I have no idea how legit this is but the jacket itself is very nice to wear.
I have to admit I solely got it for the patches in the first place, as it is patched up to represent a RF-101Voodoo driver of the 15th Tac Recon Squadron and the Voodoo is maybe my favourite jet of the Century series.
and as I love the Voodoo so much, come autumn I will add another Voodoo themed jacket to my collection in the form of a CWU-9 liner from BR...stay tuned
