Can anyone recommend someone who could make a patch? I have a piece of WWII art that my father in law designed when he was in the service and I would like to have it made into a patch. It has a lot of sentimental family memories. I can scan it and send it. Thanks Dave

was there ever a b-9 sheepskin?

@Paul & Tom, While the Irvin is a stunning jacket, IMO it just looks too "attention grabbing" I didn't realize it until I received mine. I want something a bit more understated, no fur at bottom of sleeves and waist. Dave

I apologize in advance if this has been covered, but I couldn't find anything on this forum about the ANJ-4. So since I'm selling my Irvin (I know sacralige), I think for my build and taste the ANJ-4 might be the better jacket for me, of course getting the right size will help. But I think I...

Andrew and Soren, Thanks. I've been waiting to wear this jacket for awhile and now I can, finally cold enough. I don't know how Soren feels, but what was very interesting for me was how soft the leather is. Jon did a fantastic job on this jacket, I have received several compliments and...

B Man Thanks I'll give it a try.

Thanks Butte

Andrew, Wouldn't a large, 22" wooden hanger be better? Less likely to stretch the jacket?

Thank you.

That's a great idea. I've seen old pics of this. Thanks, Dave
