Just got my US-Authentic AN-J-4 from eBay. Lovely condition. Fits perfectly. Only one thing...
IT'S SUEDE!!! :shock: :x
All the requisite goatskin pockets, sleeve chaps, etc etc...on very finely SUEDED sheepskin.
It's enough to turn this handsome 40s flier's garment into something more appropriate behind the wheel of a '79 Eldorado.
Here's the tricky part...
- The seller didn't mention suede in the listing.
- The photos he provided were kind of "meh" quality.
- They show a low luster to the sheepskin that could easily be the standard, chromed finish. (Here's another example: my US-A M-444.)
What say you, fellow jacketeers? Is this not quite truth in advertising? Or am I stuck with the thing?
