    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    Yeah I own an Auster and a T6 Harvard/Texan.... Also have 2 hours in a Tr9 Spitfire... Its nice to wear an original Irvin or A2 whilst flying to get the real ambience of the era...

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    IRVIN finally arrived in Bahrain however its over 40C at the moment! Perfect for airing the sheepskin for an hour or so in the sun to neutralise the smell a bit..... then bk to the UK for some pecards before another airing at Flying Legends in the T6......Should get some nice upside down pics...

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    This is my Irvin.... A bit to big on the arms but in great shape and wearable... It gets quite a bit of use in the Tiger, very warm and looks the part... The belt was a bit weak and the buckle was a horrible heavy chrome piece that I assumed was a fake so this has since been rectified by Byson...

    Thanks, My Irvin did have a label that was hanging off.... I also tried to tack it in but this didn't prove easy... in fact I gave up!

    Q - Were these labels just tacked to the sheep skin or sewn right through to the leather - ?

    I like the two tone effect of the different fleeces... It makes the jacket stand out from any perfect repro... very nice

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    I didn't realise it was Prewar... It was a lovely fit however the leather was wearing very thin and as you can see some of the fleece was showing through on the front... As you can see it looked a bit dry on these pics so I gave it an application of leather dressing and it looked a lot better...

    I didn't really know what I was buying at the time and paid well over the odds for it... I made a loss of about £200 and sold it on ebay...:eusa_doh:

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Hi Guys... This is my first real post, I thought id share a couple of my purchases with you - Having owned a modern Irvin style jacket I decided to purchase the real deal... This was my first Irvin however the shoulders were very weak so not really suitable for daily wear... Especially flying in...
