I have for sale a very nice goatskin Aero ANJ-3 which unfortunately is just too small to fit me. It is labelled as a size 42, but by comparison to my Aero AN6552, also labelled a 42, it feels more like a 40. I have read before that you need to size up one with the ANJ-3. [huh]
The jacket is in the standard Aero Seal Brown finish:
All knits are in excellent condition, as is the leather in general. The only damage to the leather is a small scuff on the windflap:
This of course would be easily dealt with with a dab of Pecards or similar. The armpits are displaying the characteristic wear pattern in which the seal finish rubs to reveal lighter patches:
This idicates that the jacket will age nicely with regular wear...
Label:
At some point, the original zip has been replaced:
This replacement zip is sturdy and effective, though if desired, it could easily be replaced with a NOS period zipper or similar.
There are a couple of minor damages to the lining; if you were particularly fussy, like me, this could be repalced, though I should think that a few stitches will provide a perfectly acceptable repair:
Asking GBP155 or near offer (that's about USD230 at this morning's rates, and covers my original costs in buying the jacket and shipping it to me, no profit, I just want to sink the money into an A2). Postage will be charged at cost (strong dollar a bonus there!), or collection in person can be facilitated. Payment via paypal, though if local we can do cash.
