Superb early Anj4 good BIN

[John Lever]

Very nice early ELC Anj4 size 46, reasonable BIN.

JACKET Leather - Flying Type ANJ-4 Eastman® size 46 | eBay

The jacket has two leather types, the horse-hide lighter brown leather and the darker cowhide. I am NOT SURE if those could be cleaned off eg. with a saddle soap solution. There are many breeds of sheep throughout the world, each having their own wool characteristic, so it is essential that the...

John
The seller has listed “free delivery” and I don’t see any limitations for international purchases . I wonder if that’s correct .

Burt, this as good as it gets. If you want one of the best Anj4's ever made this is it.

Where is Jim when the good jackets in larger sizes appear?

Damn shame that it appears they’ll only ship in the UK. That jacket would be pretty much perfect for me…

Where do you live ?

If I had £1 for every time I’ve declared I’m not into shearlings I’d have a good contribution towards that lovely looking creation - it is bloomin nice I must admit - I’d could even drive to Bicester too! The temptation is there but prob a tad big so I’m out but hope someone here nabs it???

Seriously thinking of letting go one of my Irvins to fund this ANJ-4....only thing is, I love both of my Irvins and I don't know if the ANJ-4 fits my bill...tried one ELC example once @Duxford when they were still having their tent there and did not immediately fall for it contrary to the BoB Irvin which I bought the following year... But that ANJ-4 really looks great...

Nice jacket though......

Grab the Ebay jacket but don't offload the one being sold until AFTER it arrives and you are happy with it.

I sold the ELC Hartmann, sent old 'Redsox78' my money then got screwed and defrauded until TimP came to the rescue. Hope 'Jonny Boy' caught COVID and choked to death!

A jacket in the hand is worth two in the post!

 

[John Lever]

Well done.
Those marks might burnish out with hand grease.
I read somewhere that someone had put neatsfoot oil on a new Anj4....
