Gary just contacted me to say the Warhorse mk 2 Anj4 is now available.
It looks very good

It does look very nice. It looks like they replaced the snap pocket for buttons. I took delivery of mine about two months ago and it is a very well made jacket. I asked them for the new warhorse trim and they didn't do it :evil: but the HH they used is very nice and I look forward to breaking it in this winter

Perhaps they regard you as one of those dumb American's that they can overcharge you for a standard jacket and not tell you what you want is coming soon !!

Ah you really need to be in the inner circle of "friends" who not only get special discounts but even personal emails from the Boss to keep you in the loop.

The wonders of Eastman !!

Sometimes I wonder why anybody ever bothers posting here when I see a reply like this.

I agree!

Heavens to Betsy
There seems to be a lot of touchy folks out there !!

 

[John Lever]

Me too. If the aggro goes on much longer I'm off.

 

[omarco]

back on topic i definitely think the jacket looks better for the warhorse hide.. love it.

Just looking at the site I have to say the pictures of the leather used in the model being photographed looks pretty nice.
If someone here owns a recent one..as mentioned earlier..how does the leather compare.
Has anyone got one on order.

Here are some pics of my Anj4 that was made a few months ago in the old HH. The new WH appears to have a lot more grain and to be thicker. I am very happy with my jacket but I would prefer the new HH. Timing is everything

 

[John Lever]

Looks great and has always been a favourite design of mine though I prefer the version wirh sheepskin cuffs.
I wonder why the horse is russet?
Seal on seal looks better to me.
Gary tells me there are new products coming this Autumn.

Did Gary say the WH was russet? It looks seal in some of the pics.

 

[John Lever]

It looks russet on my screen. I just prefer slightly less contrast.
One of my reviews from years ago has photos.

 

[blackrat2]

Stupid phone..can't find my post
Thanks 767 for the pics so quickly like you I think the new leather looks better
John what are the sheepskin cuffs your referring to,was this unique to one maker or just one of the variants made
Did originals ever come with Talon zips...sorry if stupid questions but I don't know much about these jackets

It does look to be lighter than mine but it is probably the lighting. They should be coming out with the new trim on the Standard B3 at anytime.

Some versions had sheepskin rather than HH cuffs. The horsehide cuffs look clumsy and crease up badly. The sheepskin just looks better and is just trimmed at the ends.
