As we move from Version 1 to Version 2 of Monarch we are experimenting with different harness designs. Our goal is to remove the belt and possibly the neck closure so as to lessen the footprint of the harness structure, making it easier to blend in with a wider variety of outfits. The images below show experimentation with the shape of the shoulder forms, straps, leather dyes, sewing, and wet moulding to create space for enclosing electronic components.
