AVI Leather ANJ 3 unboxing

[Ritchy]

Hello there
The ANJ3 jacket I ordered arrived yesterday. I won't go over the features presented in Brett's review, but will try to share my first impressions and share some pictures.
The jacket is great looking and well constructed. The leather is a little thinner than on my other jackets but also much more supple and soft.I really like the dark seal color and its lighter stitching which enhances the beautiful design of the jacket.I hesitated for a long time between size 44 and 46 compared to my other jackets. After discussion with Morten I opted for the 44. It runs small and this one is really not for me. I am awaiting to hear from Morten on the return and replacement formalities. It breaks my heart to have to wait again

Nice jacket, better to wait and have one which suits you

The size thing is a bind but great things come to he who waits . The jacket looks quality though

You are right Vera, especially to put the beautiful patch that you are making for me

You're right too, I will wait patiently

USPS priority mail international large flat rate box would be the cheapest.

Hi Ritchy,
I have this same AVI jacket in transit to me now. It should arrive here sometime next week. My chest measures is about 42" so I ordered a 44". Keeping my fingers crossed it will fit and I won't have to send it back.

Thanks. Im going to return it today. Do you know how much it will cost usually? And will it have some extra tax during the transition, or just the shipping fee?

Around 100 bucks, no tax at your end. the recipient will pay the duty tax if there’s any.

A mfr/retailer will usually recomment a smaller size because the close fitting, v-shaped look is always stylish on a smaller customer, and a larger customer is rarely a positive image for their brand.

Got mine today. It's a great jacket right inline with reviews from Ritchy and Brett. The fit is spot on. I'm quite pleased.

Got one myself awhile back, size 42, and it seems to fit pretty well. I can wear a sweatshirt under it, but it’s a little snug.
