  Term: brass monkey
"Monkey tail" was a short hand spike, a lever for aiming a carronade [short-sight iron cannon].
A "powder monkey" was a boy who carried gun powder from the magazine to cannons and performed other ordnance duties on a warship (usage dating to 1682).
Supposedly when the "monkey" with its stack of cannon ball became cold, the contraction of iron cannon balls led to the balls falling through or off of the "monkey." This explanation appears to be a legend of the sea without historical justification.

It is not known how their unique shape developed, although many myths have arisen to explain away the mystery of this fascinating half badger, half monkey creature.
One such myth says that one day, a monkey was sitting in a tree, idly eating a banana, when a flurry of movement caught his eye.
The monkey was very protective of his banana, so he jumped out of the tree in order to save it from predators.

 OUTDOORSmagic Reviews - Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Jacket
Fortunately for our outdoor cred, the jacket's beauty is more than skin deep - the thing actually works.
Verdict: Okay, so it's 'just a fleece', but the Monkey Phur means that it has an incredible warmth to weight ratio and packs down small, while the small design touches mean that the cuffs avoid the wrist bulk of Sprayway's Frostfire.
It would make an ideal fleece for lightweight trekking or backpacking fleece or any other activity where warmth is useful and weight and space are at a premium.
