I received yesterday a very large box from Scotland...

In it were

ANJ-4 (size 50 special order made of Seal D1 shearling and oilpull hh)

Here’s some fit pics. Only complaint I have is that ANJ-4 seems to be one size too large for me.

Christmas came early!!!! Nice.
Shackleton is on my mind even more now.

Your ANJ4 does look a tad over-size to me but I have never tried one on and I imagine the last thing you need is a tight fit on one of these jackets.Fantastic selection all round though.

You did very well with the latest additions to your wardrobe from Galashiels. BTW I understand the Dallas Cowboys are looking for offensive linemen. Since the minimum size is 48-50 you might well qualify for a position on the team. [emoji1]

If they’re looking for 40 year old slow runner with multiple old sports injuries I might just be their man!

Funny coincidence that a sales guy of a clothing shop in our local mall asked me yesterday if I am (american) football player after I could not fit my thighs in their slim fit trousers.

And no, I have never touched an american football outside of a sports shop!

I really like the Waterfront! certainly a classic... From the pictures I agree with your assessment of the ANJ4.. but how does it feel? if it feels too big it probably is, I would think you could exchange it for a smaller sized one at this early stage.

It does indeed feel too large for me. I can wear the waterfront under the ANJ-4 and there is still room to spare!

I am afraid that changing or returning this jacket might not possible, as it is a non-returnable special order (thinner shearling than normal). I did however ask From Aero if they can think up some solution.

The Anj looks a little big, but not kid wearing dad’s jacket big. It’s not a bespoke suit. Look at old photos of guys in shearling jacket, the fits are all over the place. My guess is they stood in line, a quarter master eyed them up and down, handed them a jacket and said “next”. “I think i need 1/8” more on the sleeves” wasn’t a thing. Wear it and enjoy.

Sensory overload.

LOVE the Waterfront, and the fit is phenomenal!

The ANJ4 is larger then I would prefer. Time to ponder layering options to fill-in that bad boy.

You've already highlighted that the AN-J-4 looks a size larger than you need; I feel that the reverse is true of the Shackleton (it might relax a bit of course, but it currently looks like you could do with a size up if you're planning to layer over a sweater).

All look good to me. Personally I lean to the view that shearlings are best a touch oversized to make the most of Winter laywring and trapping air in for heat.

Wow 4 jackets in a single order! You are taking it to a whole new level! :)

I like the letterman jacket the most! Fit wise I think they all work, there is no jacket obviously of the wrong size ;)

I must disagree with your view on the Shackleton. I don’t expect to wear anything thicker under it than the submariner sweater in the pics, and with that I think the shackleton is just right for my taste.

By the way Aero promised to remake the AnJ-4 for me in one size smaller. I take my hat off to their customer service!
