Those bi coloured ones are horrible imo

 

[Cooper A-2]

Fully agree, but there are others in seal.
Will be in Japan in two weeks...will try to get one...in seal.

 

[John Lever]

I check Yahoo and Rakuten daily and have never seen a RMNZ seal Anj4.

 

[Cooper A-2]

John, you forgot to check Amazon and Priceline.com.

 

[John Lever]

RMNZ on Amazon ?
Surely you are having a laugh ?

 

[Cooper A-2]

Yes John!

John, my respect!, you are looking great!
Just one question, see you always with this wonderfull jacket, but why never with the Aero AN-J-4, which you praised so much?
Hope you aquired one since so great according to your skillfull review ( I mean it).
I would show these pics again and again...
Please dont get me wrong, the Aero is ( are ) one of the best in matters of leather, fleece, cut, service, friendlyness etc...but their zips and metalware/fasteners leave a lot of room for improvement...
Just curious.

 

[John Lever]

These are old photos of my 10 year old jacket. The Aero is as good just different.
I have never had any issues with Aero zips in fact the zip on my Anj4 is one of the best yet and works perfectly.
Also this a thread about RMNZ

 

[Cooper A-2]

OK, thx and accepted.
Just wondering why all this fuss about RMNZ AN-J-4 and liitle or no demand for the superb Aero AN-J-4.
Sorry for asking again, do you own an Aero AN-J-4? or an Aero IRVIN, I real like your Aero Irvin revues on the late war and CC Irvins. Great stuff.
Nevertherless , see you more in ELC Irvin's than Aero's, but maybe I did not check all...More photos of yours welcome.
Thx again for all your expertise and great articles here and in the VLJ. Love them all.

The current run of LW Anj-4 jackets are also very nice.

 

[Cooper A-2]

sure...but not as accurate in details, if one wants something close toan original...but not not bad.
LW improved a lot these last few years.
thx for the info.

I both own the current LW ANJ-4 and ELC ANJ-4. I can add some photos in a few days. LW ANJ4 seems more robust than the ELC one to me.

 

[John Lever]

LW do make a stunning Anj4.

thx for the info.

Please elucidate.

 

[Cooper A-2]

Compared to the ELC or FEW/ RMCNZ, hide/fur is too "teddy bear" like, zipper is not as good as the GW or ELC RMCNZ repro zips, cut is too "baggy".
All in all still OK, ( good value for money though if compared to the FEW) but not the best repro in aspects of accuracy.
Had one last year, sold it again immediatly.

 

[John Lever]

Well the cut of my LW jacket is far from baggy,it is closer fit than Eastman but allows greater arm movement and is very comfortable even though it is a vintage fit. The zip is a WW2 NOS Conmar.

 

[Cooper A-2]

Happy for you.

 

[MET]

LW

ELC

Sorry for the crappy android photos. But the fits of LW and ELC ANJ4 are almost the same and not baggy I suppose.

 

[Cooper A-2]

Fits you great, I admit.
Maybe I should have ordered one size smaller. My mistake.
What is your zipper on the LW?
thx
Cheers
