    War and Peace. Anyone going?

    Just behind the fence next to the main entrance into the event. There are with the Hurricane and Mk IX Spitfire, so should be easy to spot.

    War and Peace. Anyone going?

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    I recently acquired this all original 1939 Wareings Irvin. It has the Dot British zips, which work perfectly. It was made from a thinner fleece than many I have seen from this maker. I particularly like the tan seam tapes and collar back. There are no patches or ugly repairs and very little...

    Battle of Britain Era Irvin for sale

    Thank you. It is a very nice early Irvin.
  17. aswatland

    My first Irvin

    The jacket has the square ended collar, darker seam tapes, which are typical of this maker and the contract was issued to DGL. I have seen earlier ones from the same contract (H.174372) which still had the maker's name on the label.

    My first Irvin

    My first Irvin

    Very nice indeed Richie. I am trying to ID your Irvin. The contract label is for Irvin trousers and it is a 1940 contract but the jacket dates from 1941. The last number on of the contract is really hard to read. Does it have large or small collar rings? Please can you post a picture of the...
