    Oh no - not a chance, mate. I am danish all the way. (And I know it.) Just thought - with so many others half or 1/8 part Irish - I would tell my familystory too.;) On the other hand - just imagine how much danish/viking blood there is in irish families...?

    Way back on my mothers side - 1723 or even before - my family either came from Scotland or Ireland. They were weavers and were more or less voluntarely "imported" by the danish king - to get the quality weaving business going. So my family history goes - but I guesse that isn't enough to qualify.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Congrats on your Irvin, Greeny - and welcome to the club. You're looking good! Like all the others have said: it's a huge, heavy - in may ways - clumsy jacket. But that's just what gives it character - and that's just what we like. Enjoy it - and next year, you will never part from it...

    So, I'mma be a dad. . . . . OMG!

    The best advice a father of two boys - now grown up young men - can give you is this: Rember everything they do - no matter how irritating, stupid, boring (for you), mindwrecking, etc. etc. - it is just a transition! So love every minute of it. Good luck!:)
