G-1 and M422As

Perhaps this is of interest?

Looks nice. Is that the dark seal with std A-2 knit?

I have the Aero ANJ-3 (posted elsewhere on the FL) and I adore it. IMHO, it's the best of both worlds from the A2 design - it has the same general appearance but more practicality and comfort. And I love the goatskin hide. I have never seen the G&B model, so I can't comment on that, I'm afraid...
I do find that the bi-weave wool waist band pills somewhat though - and if anyone has a good remedy for that, I'd love to hear it. I look online and see all sorts of devices, from electric shavers to stones - and some say just use a razor (!!) and others say never to do that ... so I've held off on doing anything for now.
So as the topic is on these G-1/M422-A/ANJ-3 etc waistbands, if anyone here has a preferred solution, I'd love to hear it please - and thank you!
