    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    It's just occurred to me - how do Irvins etc fare in rain? Would rain ruin the collar?

    Hi Garry. Sorry for the late response, I only just saw this! Thanks for the offer but I think I'm leaning towards an Irvin at the mo! Furthermore, I think 38 is more my size. Thanks again

    A good way to advertise Irvins - 'Irvin jackets, bringing the remainers and brexiteers together with their warm embrace!'

    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    Thanks GHarris, that's interesting. It's cool that your jacket ended up being a talking point. I guess its like turning up somewhere with an old model BMW - my dad's got a 2002tii - someone will probably take notice. My next stop is Galashiels so I'll be trying on the entire showroom and...

    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    Wise words! The issue is £850 is significant for me at this point in my life so I'd like to avoid making mistakes if possible! This is a bit of a tangent but what are people's opinions on the Aero Leather Thunder Bay? I was just watching the music video for streets of philadelphia (The Boss!)...

    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    Stand By, thanks so much for this! It must have taken you a while to type out! I really love this forum since joining - you guys are all so passionate! With Alexander Leathers (Simmons Bilt now?) the closest they have to an Irvin is is the 'RAF pattern' right? Doesn't look as nice as aero and...

    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    Hi Peter, Apparently they won't add pockets to an Irvin, from what I've read anyway. I've read that aviation leathercraft have really thick linings and are therefore super warm. Plus, I think I prefer the overall look of the Aera and eastman irvins. The lack of pockets is a concern but I would...

    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    Thanks for your response! to address the flaws: the lack of pockets is slightly off putting. But then i've been thinking i should just get a good pair of gloves being as it's a winter jacket anyway?! I do a fair bit of wondering around places and i want to start exploring the countryside more...

    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    Hi chaps! So I went to the eastman popup in Shore ditch...my mind has been expanded. I tried on an Irvin and it was like being hugged by the universe itself! Hand down the best jacket i've ever worn. I'm near enough dedicated to getting an irvin now. The question now is do I wait and head up to...

    Do you know a good place to get one?

    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    Thanks for the feedback chaps! The Eastman popup sounds like a good call. Are there any particular differences between aero and eastman in your opinions? I know eastmans are slightly more expensive but if I'm spending 700+, what's another hundred, right? I'm kind of leaning more towards aero at...

    A plea for help in choosing a sheepskin jacket

    Hi all, I began my quest to buy a sheepskin jacket around half a year ago when I saw a pre-war Irvin in a vintage store. I've always had a thing for sheepskin collars on coats, but when I saw the huge collar on the Irvin and it's overall design, my heart was set. I started researching...
