BUZZ RICKSON'S AN-J-3A

[indoverificator]

Hi Again Everyone,

as I promised that I only want to share my collections to you and need your opinion regarding the value of my jacket since I am still no expert about few type of military jacket. how about this AN-J-3A, is it rare? and what is the suggested value of this jacket. I appreciated your help.

'Rare' is not the issue here. It's a Buzz leather jacket, and looks to be in decent shape, so it's certainly worth a few hundred.

Hi
As stated above the jacket worth approximately $275.00 - 375.00.
That’s just my opinion , their are other guys here who are better at this than I am, and may differ in their appraisals. If the jacket is in the larger range size 44 . It might increase the value a bit.
What size is it?

Hi
Smaller size jackets have a limited sales market . But you might get $400.00 or $450.00 if you happen to appeal to someone looking for this particular makers jacket . I don’t think Buzz still makes this model so that’s another good thing if your looking to sell this jacket.

GLWYS, saw similar jackets in this small size on buyee.jp and yahoo.jp auctions...
As B-Man2 mentions... 300-350 US$... and no taker since more than a year...
Also in Japan... only larger sized repros are really wanted...
Different story for WW2 and other originals...they always go easy... regardless of the size... but original and in good cond.
GLWYS.

eBay with a reserve or start with a BIN. Try that first. Where you did you purchase the jacket? Yahoo Japan has 36 & 38 sized jackets selling for a lot less than 42- 44 sized options. It is all supply and demand and size 38 stuff is more common on the second hand market.

I bought it from my friend.

I believe you are correct Mikey and I’d love a horse AN-j-3a at some point. I saw a very very nice one in the Real McCoys store in london a year or so ago and I’m kicking myself for not buying it. Pricey, but nicey!

 

[indoverificator]

yes its horsehide

I would agree with the general appraisals. 38 is the most popular size in Japan, but in the US for this type of garment it's probably more like 42 or even 44. Depending on how much you paid for and how much you want to get rid of it, I'd probably start it at $399...if it doesn't sell then you can then reduce it by $50, and then another $50 and so on.
The jacket would sell for a higher amount in Japan because this type of patched jacket is more appealing to the Japanese taste, but there is only services for buying from Yahoo!Auctions, Japan, not selling.
