Unworn / mint Foster AN-J-3a with USN on the back Collar

[bazelot]

This ANJ3a was never worn. I received it without the waistband (it had been cut off for whatever reason so I had it replaced. Jacket was never worn. It is beautiful and the leather is the softest and grainiest I have seen. Pictures do not do it justice.
It is interesting that this AN series jacket sports a USN on the back. I guess it was not truly AN.

Hey Bazelot, is the leather of this a bit darker than that of the G&F M-422A? or the same?

It actually fits bigger. It fits more like a wartime 40 or 42 as it fits me.

That’s interesting, as it often works the other way around where leather jackets are concerned. However, where other U.S. Military WWII clothing is concerned, the fact that it fits larger than its sized is right in line.
