Eastman 1942 Irvin Jacket for sale, mint condition. Hi, I am selling my Size 44 Eastman Irvin, because I don't like it anymore. To be honest I've only worn the jacket (gently) on 5 or 6 occasions. It isn't even properly broken in yet, so that will be the new owner's job. Measurements - base...

That is a cracker of an Irvin jacket.

Aye Sloan, that might just be the story of my life :D

Odds on that I'll drive down to Gala and take a look around. I'm not really in the market for anything, however you never know...

My brand new Eastman 1942 pattern Irvin arrived today and it's the mutt's nuts... The best flying jacket I've ever seen or owned... Photos to follow over the weekend... Chuffed as a budgie.

Has anyone been in contact with Cirrus recently ? I have sent them a couple e-Mails without a reply. I have phoned them many times without any answer. They have recently removed their phone number from their website. I sincerely hope that everything is okay, and I would like to have a chat...

There is a chance that I will be down at the airshow as well. If that goes ahead then I'd like to catch up with you an introduce myself.

I don't to offend anyone here or say anything that might upset Aero, so I'll try to be a diplomat for once. First of all Aero congratulations for completing the CC Irvin project, I absolutely love CC Irvins and I have an original that even fits me. I love the cut of your jacket, and I love...

Hi Edward, can you tell me more ? I would be very interested in a CC Irvin if the fleece was a darker brown than the current honey coloured fleeces.

Hi Andrew, many thanks for the advice. Can you guide me as to where I can get a replacement slider, would Aero Leathers have one ? Once I have located a new slider, can you advise as to how I fit the thing. Do I need to dismantle the zip fastener retainer box at the top of the trousers to...

Irvin Trousers Zip not working Guys, I have a disaster on my hands. My much loved and occasionally worn Irvin trousers are useless at the moment because the runner on one of the leg zips no longer joins the teeth. Instead it the runner just runs ( slightly roughly ) down the leg without...

Hi Andrew, sorry the delay in responding to you. Here is a link to the label photo, it's not great but it's all that I have for now. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj57/irvinsuit/P1020126.jpg The jacket is with Aero now for a new main zip and some other general repairs. Will commented...

Hi Andrew, I have honestly tried really hard to obtain the contract details from the label and all I can determine is as follows: CONTRACT STORES 4250 I cannot be certain about the numbers. Is there an established way to get info from faded labels ? Sorry I cannot offer hard data...
