Buzz Rickson AN-J-3 on ebay

[917_k]

No affiliation with the seller, but this looks like a pretty decent deal for someone (too small for me sadly):

Buzz Rickson WW2 USAAF AN-J-3 G-1 M-422A Goatskin Flight Jacket, Size 38" | eBay

This jacket has had very little wear, and its condition is excellent. The only very minor issue to report is a very small, almost invisible, nick/cut to the goatskin, about 4mm long, as seen in the last photograph.

Seller has a BR M-51 jacket in a Small for £25 at the moment! Get on that.

Nice jacket ….. But at a size 38, it’s a no go for many of us .

Just like buses, wait for ages for one to come along then...

I've only very recently purchased an AN-J-3 - I've not even taken delivery of it yet! - but this Buzz is goatskin as opposed to horsehide, so I suppose there's a bit of variation...


Update: The seller informs me that the 'nick' is a cut that goes through the hide, and being on the back one couldn't cover it up with a patch. Visually probably not an issue, but I can imagine it nagging on one's mind. Shame...an otherwise lovely jacket.
