M-445A Jacket - AVI LEATHER

[John Lever]

thanks. If I am not mistaken this model has underarm gussets, aren't these supposed to help with mobility (thus allowing a relatively smaller pit to pit compared to a B3)?

Gussets are sheepskin not satin and leather as on the Anj4

thanks John, good to know

The sheepskin gussets mean that the fit under the arms has to be just right.

Looking forward to your impression and detailed pics.

looking forward to seeing John's jacket and revie when he gets it as I might get me one if these for Christmas...
sizing for me should be easier methinks as I am now somewhere in between 44 and 46 closer to the smaller end of sizes...
but definitely looking forward to John's review as he is THE expert when it comes to sheepskin jackets...

Wouldn't say 'expert' , experienced multiple owner might be closer...I just need to learn to accept that what I have is good enough.

I would sign your last sentence anytime!
but having this wealth of knowledge available here on the board and being able to benefit from it is a huge advantage when it come to tread unknown waters jacket type wise and maybe avoid mistakes or bad experiences that other guys have had

Now that some time has passed: how have the jackets held up? Any new insights after wearing them more?

 

[Saint-ex]

@John Lever could maybe answer.

Well I like mine but haven't worn it much tbo. We had a mild winter this year so fingers crossed for some cold weather next time round.
Sorry I can't say much more

No worries. I think the fact that you still like yours tells us something already!

It's as good as my Few jacket was but cost 75 % less

That’s about as good an endorsement as you’ll find .
