    Question about Barbour waxed cotton jackets

    If a waxed Barbour jacket gets warm it is absolute murder on cloth upholstery. It is not so bad on modern light coloured leather auto upholstery.

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    I just got my WPG Irvin. What can I say. First reaction - Bit of a bargain. I'm usually a 46 and on WPG advice I got a 48 as I wanted the option of wearing a heavy sweater underneath, fits perfect including the sleeves which I was a little nervous about. The zips are not the best. The...

    I think it is just wrong. But doubtless someone will see it and love it.

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    Thanks. I was hoping shortening the sleeves was an easy job.

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    I agree, the poodle look is best avoided. Ideally I would get one that fits from the start. Past experience tells me that the sleeves are likely to be a little long for me. I guess I can always have them shortened.

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    I saw it. Very nice! Cost is also a consideration, and I'm not sure I could get to Thruxton until after Easter. I don't know enough about Irvin fit and measurements to feel confortable having one made over the internet.

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    Thanks. The problem I have with some of the repros I've seen is they're much thicker than I want to wear.

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    I'm very tempted by the WPG Irvin but I'm afraid the sleeves in my size will be too long. Can anyone confirm the leather is soft and light enough to roll up the cuff or is there another cheap and cheerful option?

    Ditto ditto ditto. I only have one I would classify as a summer A2 but I also have spring and autumn jackets!

    Highwayman arrived - urgent opinion needed

    I think it's a fit. The only question mark would be the sleeve lenght which looks long. However, it's a bike jacket so it would be almost right in a riding position. Ultimately you are the one that has to wear it and there's little as useless as a leather jacket where one is unhappy with the fit.

    Jacket Fit Opinion Needed.

    I think the jacket would fit fine if you just had the sleeves shortened a touch and let the jacket wear in.

    Aerophilia

    Well, just look at how much fun Indiana Jones had with a leather jacket and a Fedora. I seem to recall Bogey wearing one with a G1 in Tokyo Joe as well.

    Aerophilia

    I think a newsboy or a fiddler's cap would work with a highwayman. Or how about a basque beret?

    Late 50's early 60's

    and of course the other great skinhead classic....the cardigan! and the Abercrombie overcoat with the breast pocket - used with two geometrically precise contrasting pocketsquares, one of which was held in place with studs.

    Late 50's early 60's

    My lasting memory of London skinhead fashion in late sixties to about 1971 were the badly cut tonik (sharkskin) suits with trousers hitched up high to show off the red socks co-ordinated with red "1/4" inch braces, Ben Sherman shirt with button down collar, highly polished brogues, Gibson...

    A2's, do you miss handwarmer pockets?

    ;) Probably a good idea to sew up the pilot's trouser pockets too;)
