Did ELC ever have a snap in their throat strap?
Button only on all their AN-J-4 repros

No worries, but I never ever saw an ELC AN-J-4 with a snap.. I saw many..even sold 3 very early models here .. but never with a snap.

I preferred the snaps,just didn't get much chance to wear it,would have kept it though but as I've said previously, the broken grain i hated.

The snap never existed in the WWII originals ( at least as far as I know )… but again its an ELC… not very accurate but very accommodating to 20st/21rst Century fashionable wearing.

Is Vinted international or are there unique sites for each country ?

Nice Merino… but the pockets flaps? In combination with the snap? If compared the the ELC reference? .. hurts..

John, to my knowledge there is a vinted which groups together France, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Italy and Spain and another in the United Kingdom. It must be a function of currencies.

Thanks.
Nice jacket but quite expensive as it's not the best type
