    My book: ONE OF THE FEW

    As some of you might know, I have been researching the life of one particular RAF pilot from WWII: Albert Gerald Lewis - known as Zulu. Finally I had so much information from his family, from many differet books and combat reports. I also had a large collection of pictures on my Mac, so what to...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    If I like what I get from them, I'll post a review and (maybe) even some pics - and I will also buy a white Sub Sweater. My Ace Cafe has had a lot of use lately - so a substitute might come in handy.

    Great patina and a stellar example on what heavy use and mistreatment can do to a shiny new jacket. Great work, mate!

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    I can only recommend that you contact Jon. (Aces High) He makes the jackets himself and with great passion. He got my measures and he knew exactly what size to make. When I got it, it had a perfect fit. Or should I say: A original fit. They are large and bulky and should be like that. I only...

    Just enjoy it. It's a great Irvin and it looks right on you. What more can one want? Back in 1939 they didn't even have a choice. They had to like what were thrown at them.

    Don't leave out Aces High just because they comes from France. Jon is british and the most service minded chap I have come across for a long time in this business. It's a small business - almost one jacket at a time. Tailor made by himself. And he takes his time listening to you, sends you...

    To each his own, Dave. I only know that Jon got hold of a original Irvin (in bad shape), took it apart and made his pattern after these pieces. Then he spent years looking for the right sheepskins as close to the originals as possible, the right tanning as they did it back then, the right thread...

    Yes - the very same. And bloody nice Irvins, they are! I should know - I own the seventh, he made. You'll find him and his Irvins here: http://www.aceshighjackets.com/
