    G1 'Action back' has come loose/ unfolded

    I've also had Byson do work for me; repairs to a couple of Irvins and a refurb of an Edmund Church M422a (New cuffs, action back elastic and a new liner). Fantastic work in every respect, and great folk to visit if you're in the area.

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

    Fantastic jacket Andrew. Should you ever wish to sell it....:) I have recently acquired a pair of trousers (sadly although only lightly worn they had been poorly stored so all the metalwork had corroded very badly). They have an IAC label in them, with a date stamp 17th Mar 1940. Can anyone...

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

    Irvin advice... Hi All, I've recently bought a multi-panel Irvin (as a Christmas present to myself!); it's in pretty good condition, but will need a few little jobs doing; a new sleeve zip slider and a bit of seam tape sewing (with maybe a collar retrim too). I was going to try the sewing...
