WWII Burjac ANJ3 A

[TankBuster]

Here's a recent purchase. A super nice ANJ3 A by Burjac Sportswear. The leather is
beautiful. The knits were replaced by Aero who did a very good job. The lining and
collar are flawless. The zip is its' original Talon. It has the US stencil under the collar,
but I forgot to photo it
The interesting thing about this jacket is that it is tagged a 40, although it fits more
like a modern size 44. This is my first original WWII Navy jacket, and I have to say
that I am impressed. Thanks to the member that floated me this one !

Thanks Tom. I was going to send you these pics, but thought I would
post them instead. Sorry for the wait. I've been busy lately.

No worries it was worth the wait. The collar seems to have held up pretty well too!

Very nice. To my mind the AN-J-3a has a much nicer cut than the M-422a, at least for a shortarse like me.

Use to be my jacket that I bought from a forum member. Great to see it is still in the family.

Not a big fan of Navy G-1 type jackets though I owe three of them.

How can you not be? They are the best jackets out there, far superior to the A-2 if you ask me.

I agree the Navy jackets fit better than A2s due to the biwing. But just not a real fan. I actually like the 50s nylon jackets best for keeping warm and the light weight L-2B is ideal for the spring. That said still have 9 A2s and 3 G-1s.
