And another recent shot. Here it is with the NOS vintage Talon zip that replaced the Aero zip (which, as I'm more than happy to say, worked perfectly, ran as smooth as butter and I had no issues with whatsoever - I just wanted something more authentic to the 1943 era and aura of the jacket).

Fantastic looking jacket, it's obviously wearing in well. I love the 'saved pet count' as well, a very nice touch.

The one on the left may have been an AN-J-3 the air force edition.

I've seen over half a dozen of these come and go on the auction sites, but never with a label inside.

Goodwear had one with the A&F label and he had suspected it was from the military surplus

Neither of these has the fancy panelled lining found on the later AN-J-3A

I have finally found an used Toys Mccoys one, airforce version not the navy version.

Fits much slimmer than the A2 jackets, just like the black and white photo up top.

Imo AN-J-3 air force edition has better mobility and fit than the A2. But did these jackets actually existed?

Anyone has an original with an actual label? Please post thanks.

AVI Leather makes a cracker ANJ-3. Its their own take on the ANJ-3, not based on any particular original.

Most originals had the windflap on the outside, but here are some as above more like the M-422A
