    B6 - Who makes the best?

    Despite an ongoing (and, I suspect, ultimately undeniable!) desire to own an ANJ-4, I have decided that a B-6 would be a more wearable jacket.

    I like the vegetable-tanned, hand dyed approach of the so-called "redskin" jackets (if for no other reason than I don't like chrome waste from tanneries in the environment!) but I think Eastman and Aero Leather are the only producers.

    Am I correct and can anyone offer advice with regard to the two offerings?

    Hi

    Thanks; that would be my initial thought based on A2's I have seen; however, sheepskin being a different kettle of fish I thought it worth checking with the community at large!

    Shame Aero don't make an ANJ-4!

    In sheepskins, I tend to go RMNZZ; however the Redskin issue might make that impossible. You could ask though.

    Having seen the RMNZ B-6 in person and owned a RMNZ D-1 I would go with them.

    But...do RMNZ do "redskin" material? RMNZ need a way better website, too!

    And, off on a slight tangent (well, this IS a cocktail lounge..!) where oh where will I get the best ANJ-4? Only ELC and Lost Worlds still seem to make them!

    I think they are in the pipeline as they have a sample for sale but in size 48

    "Best" is subjective. I happen to enjoy my Aero B3. Basically it's what fits/suits you best.

    My understanding is that they stopped to market this jacket under "the Few" production which is geared to the Japanese market. They are great jackets but very expensive.
