IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
I'm not sure of the etiquette on posting auction links, but I've just put my Irvin trousers onto eBay. Had I thought, I would have put them on here first. Sorry all, but for some reason it never even occurred to me! Please let me know if you would like more pictures or details......- Luddite

MEAT in the Golden Era
As a vegetarian, I'll have to post a non-meat offering! At least I think there's no meat in a snowball, but looking at the tear in the eye of the topmost one, I think they may well be sentient lifeforms. They're obviously staring wide-eyed in terror at the prospect of being consumed by the...- Luddite

Lets see your Balloon Tire Bikes
Ballooners are pretty hard to get hold of over here in England - I would dearly love a Schwinn DX - but I have got a few Middleweights in my collection. The closest I've come is this Firestone Cruiser Deluxe, which is a 24 inch wheel cycle so only my children can ride it. I fished it from a...- Luddite

Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?
As a lifelong vintage nut, I've flown in various historic aircraft, and due to my previous career in aircraft restoration and maintenance I've been involved very closely with the operation of many aircraft from Bleriot XI to Tornado F3. My father was a photographer, so I got to sit in, crawl...- Luddite

IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
I have a pair of mint, unused early Irvin trousers in my hands at the moment. The tape (and the rest of the leatherwork) is a very close match for the sheepskin. I have seen later jackets where the sheepskin is darker and the leather is redder. My father has an Irvin with nearly beige...- Luddite

Flight Jacket for Motorcycle use?
Hi there, and welcome to my first post! Some of the best traditionally-cut motorcycle wear is ex-European police wear, the German items being particularly authentic and good quality. It differs from other motorcycle clothing by being more generously cut and longer in the back. East German...- Luddite
