Hi Guys,
I am looking at two winter jackets from Aero and just have a few questions to help me decide on one. It would be fantastic if I could get some opinions from some owners.
The first jacket is the ANJ-4, I would be looking at getting it in Seal Brown with Oil Pull Trim (Short version).
The second jacket I am looking at is the Irvin RAF Flying Jacket (Battle of Britain Model).
Honestly I love both jackets but I am leaning a bit mote to the ANJ-4 as it seems like it will be a better fit and it looks like it will be a bit more practical.
So my first questions is how practical are thick Shearling jackets for someone living in the North of England? Realistically I would want 2 to 3 months worth of use a year for me to feel like I had value for money.
My second question compared to FQHH do the selves on the Shearling jackets bunch up as much? From looking at the pictures of other jackets it looks like the creasing on the arms is a lot less of an issue. I am asking this mainly so I know what sleeve lengths to order.
My third question is how practical are the collars?
I really appreciate any advice you guys can give also if any of you can post any pics that would be awesome.
