I was watching the first season of The Professionals (Mk I) on Blu-Ray last night (absolutely brilliant!) and in the 1977 episode "Look after Annie", Martin Shaw wore a really nice Irvin in brown fleece (just like ELC's 1942 Pattern) but it had a one-piece back panel and it looked really nice.
I've spent an hour trawling the 'net to try and find a photo of it to post here, but to no avail - but I'll keep trying. It must be somewhere. He wore another one earlier in the season - very battered and with a light cream fleece - but that's not the one I'm after. The brown fleece Irvin is much better.
Here's the full episode on youtube:

Maybe take some screenshots?

Well done! This is the old DVD release by Contender (much criticized for supposedly being remastered but was still grainy with a lack of balanced colour and contrast and dirty due to a lack of proper equipment - and a lack of access to the original source footage) before Network got a proper hold of it and cleaned it up and re-mastered it properly. It looks and sounds fantastic now.
Not sure how I'd take a screenshot though ...
Doyle's jacket makes its entrance at 26'45"' onwards - and especially at 41'30"'>.

WELL DONE! I don't know how you did that, DD, but thank you! I'm obliged to you for you taking the time to do that.
And you caught the one-piece back panel perfectly too!
Bravo, Sir!
