The rarest, most practical and most stylish of all WW2 Shearling Jackets, like the originals, our AN-J-4 is constructed from seal brown sheepskin with seal brown horsehide trim. After comparing our AN-J-4 jacket to the highest priced American, Japanese and European versions, John Lever, possibly the most highly respected authority on original WW2 Shearling Jackets and reproductions, had this to say about our AN-J-4: “Probably the best repro AN-J-4 available” – Sun 01 Mar, 2015 9:18 pm VLJ Forum (Read his review).

 

Double stitching features around both the pocket and flap, and the pocket has a button closure. Underarm gussets, lined inside with purple rayon satin as original Spec Sheets. The collar is reinforced with horsehide backing and features a throat latch on the front. The sleeves have storm cuffs again as the original USAAF Spec.. The back is 2 piece above a kidney panel and the side adjusters/buckles are black metal. We also offer the other WW2 version with a shorter zipper and buttoned hem.
