Did anybody see this Irvin?

[Deleted member 16736]

Sold a few days ago on eBay. Pre-war Irvins don't get any better than this. Enjoy.

Yes. This 1939-40 Wareings jacket used to belong to me before I sold it to a guy in Germany.

That's a beautiful. Why did you sell it?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Interestingly did significantly worse (almost half the price) than the far less interesting coastal command number that sold for $1600 or so last week.

 

[Sloan1874]

$1,600 for a bright yellow hood? Blimey.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

yeah. I already deleted the auction from my watch list, so I don't have the link nomores! D'Oh!:eusa_doh: Maybe someone else can post the link.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Found it! $1580

It was a size 4 and too small for me.

Looks exactly like my grandfather's jacket in WW2 that I saw in his potrait. Nice preservation.

Have you held on to any just because they were nice/rare, even if they don't fit you?

 

[aswatland]

Not for long.
