FS: Brand new Simmons Bilt ANJ-4 44

[dubpynchon]

Hi all,
Brand new unworn Simmons Bilt ANJ-4 here for sale. This doesn't fit me unfortunately so I have to move it on. It's a 44 with 15mm sheepskin in the body and 25mm collar. Selling price is £810, what I paid but with free shipping. It arrived in April. It doesn't have a tag for some reason but I've shown the sales invoice below.

Measurements:
P2P 24
Shoulders 19.5
Sleeves 22.5
Back 26.5

Thanks for looking.
Joe

The ANJ-4 is by far my favorite of these flight shearling jackets! I've never seen one in black and but it's even cooler this way. Pocket flaps are particularly nice. This would keep me warm during the winter but sadly at the 22.5" length, sleeves wouldn't even reach up to my wrists. Fantastic jacket either way! Good luck with the sale.

What went wrong ? The arm length is crazy

I don't know, I had asked for 24 inch arms but they sent me 22.5. I've left emails and voice messages but no response. It's a shame.

I can only imagine your disappointment. What a wonderful jacket.

Wow 2" too short in the sleeves is a major failure on the makers part. I can't see how on earth they aren't begging for the opportunity to fix a blatant error like that. that is completely unacceptable

 

[ButteMT61]

Hard to adjust patterns you got from someone else I guess. I agree with Ton. That should be taken back and replaced.

How are you measuring the sleeves, straight down from shoulder to end of cuff, or on the curve incorporating the elbow?

Hi Ted,
On the curve incorporating the elbow.

Think you should contact them again. Surley bad for their business. I am surprised my experience with SB has been very good. At £810. you have to sought this, 1.5" error is not acceptable.

 

[John Lever]

If there are any SB members here perhaps they could reply ?

 

[Tedquinton]

In that case too short for me. As others have said I'd contact SB, that's unacceptable.

Can we see a review in Outerwear with some photos please ?

I've just heard from Steve at Simmons Bilt, and we're in negotiations about a remake of the ANJ-4. Many thanks to everyone for their concern and opinions. Hopefully it'll have a happy ending.

 

[John Lever]

It looks like a very nice jacket, I hope it works out.

That's the way SB - good news.

Nice to see SB doing the right thing

This is strange. I'm clueless how these sleeves could end up short as 22.5". Regardless of patterns origins, these should be like 26" in a size 44, right? I'm assuming you asked for shorter sleeves and the cutter went a bit overboard in the adjusting process?

edit: I met Steve at their factory last year and experienced him to be a very friendly, laid back man. I hope you two can work it out.

That seems to be what happened alright, unfortunately too short sleeves are a deal breaker, any other measurements being out I could probably put up with but not the sleeves. Steve's been in contact about a return, hopefully it all works out.

Cheers
