    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    This is a little late, and I'm sorry if I'm reviving a dead(ish) thread, but I just wanted to share one small detail. Cameron mentioned that he wondered whether the Eastman Irvin he tried on was too thick to wear often throughout the year. I have an Aero Irvin, I bought it this year, in person...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    "Aquaman" (played by Jason Momoa) wears an Irvin jacket for a couple of minutes in the recent "Justice League" film. Looked to be a midwar version (what Aero call "Battle of Britain" and Eastman call the "1942 pattern"), rather than the many-seamed late-war or minimal-seamed pre-war variety...

    Has anyone tried Aero factory visit/tour?

    I visited earlier this year. It's very accessible by train, as long as you don't mind travelling all day. In my case it was a long day - electrical failures on the line near Doncaster gave us a 2 and a half hour delay getting home... this worked to my advantage, though, as it meant my expensive...

    Sources of Irvin trousers?

    Bit of a long story. Don't honestly have the appetite/energy to go into it! The overshortened-to-the-point-of-almost-being-false version would be that a car overtook me needlessly and then slammed hard on the brakes, causing me to smash into the back of them and land face-first on the tarmac...

    Sources of Irvin trousers?

    The year, since my original post, has been unkind. Broken elbow, broken collarbone, 4 lost teeth (the front-middle ones, upper side). And they say cycling is supposed to be good for you! The smashed teeth damaged my upper jaw on their way out. The whole area has been a bit fragile. (and I have...

    Sources of Irvin trousers?

    Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. You've given me something to think about. Few places in the UK are perfect but my corner of Lincolnshire isn't bad. I live in a quiet village in the Vale of Belvoir, it's one of the darker areas locally. Much of the light from the nearest town...

    Sources of Irvin trousers?

    Thanks for the suggestion. There are any number of options for "the wrong trousers", but I'm glad to be aware of another one, regardless. Any others are welcome, I'm happy to have something to consider. As I said, I know I'm a little bit nuts! I'd like to get something that at least somewhat...

    Sources of Irvin trousers?

    Hi folks, New member here. I recently became the proud owner of an Irvin jacket (pictured) which I'm very happy with. The colour, the fit, and the quality are just what I wanted. There's nothing wrong with buying an Irvin simply because I liked it, but I had a fairly eccentric side-role...
