ANJ-4 overkill for UK weather?

[bn1966]

Traded my ELC Irvin type in (too hot) and purchased a D-1 from them …. Found the D-1 much more practical for South Western UK …. but I run hot. If I had a spare £1500 I’d pick up the fly weight ELC RAF shearling

Thanks. Will take a look. Definitely seems D1 or B6 works for most in the UK

I'm sure if you wait long enough, someone here will offer the best anj4 ever,sheepskin never to be seen again ,till the next one
Imo,a D1 or B6 is the way to go,but the option of a lightweight Anj4 from aero would be my choice due to no fleece at cuffs or waist.

It's the waist that bothers me. I wear selvedge denim. In theory it's a lot like a decent jacket. Good material, takes a bit to break in and moulds to your body. In reality the indigo dye makes everything blue. So a fleece waist would definitely become a victim.

I think my trip to ironheart will be a trying on excercise now as we are coming out of the bad weather. Then I will just be patient as you suggest. This forum has been so helpful. Thank you for all your advice

D-1 design allows for light layering given its design, might be worth giving ELC a ring, I was dead keen on a B-3 & visited their Devon show room. Left having ordered a second A-2 (living in an A-2 at the time), think they mentioned a lighter Anj contract that might have worked for me.

Think the Aero lightweight idea would be my choice,,miles better fleece with no broken grain, plus £1799 for the Eastman ,no thanks
