    The colour of all three jackets is correct and has not been enhanced in any way. The skin shade of original Irvins varies from a reddish brown to darker seal shades. Each one of these three jackets is slightly different in colour. Just like some A2s that were re-sprayed in a depot a dark seal, I have seen Irvins that were similarly refurbished.

    Those colors are amazing. As is the condition. Although they have less appeal when it's 90° outside

    WOW 90F, that`s 32C
    last evening late I was taking a walk with my wife, and was wearing my ALC jacket. The temperature was 8C, and it was raining, and quite windy.....a typical danish summer, raining away - again.

    I actually like the many phases of changes in the weather here, but when it get to summer, then every single dane are thirsting to see the sun, and have the opportunity to lay in the garden, get a little sun tanned, and grill some bbq in the evening, without being forced inside by the rain and the cold....but in least we are able to flash the Irvin jacket a lot more than most loungers in here I guess :O)
    still I envy you the 90F for shure.

    Please be good to our planet, and do not destroy it, - this is where I have all my stuff

    I personally fails to see where the funny part begins.
    These people were at war.

    No.Just an advertising slogan.

    Hi Everyone, I need Andrew's help on this one. Having done the thoroughly decent thing and purchased Roger the Bomber Command bear, he arrived resplendent in his Irvin Jacket. I am attempting to date the maunfacturer and the year of manufacture, as Roger has removed any Air Ministry labels from the jacket. It could be a Links or DGL Irvin from 1941 or 1942, however I must defer to Andrew's superior knowledge )
