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

    Thank you again- we intend to keep it if it’s genuine. We didn’t want to worry about hanging onto a repro. We will get the zip fixed and look after it for the future

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

    Thanks aswatland- I actually posted a link to pictures early December and you kindly replied saying you believed the jacket dated to 1942.

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

    Hi all, I posted before Christmas about a jacket we were interested in buying and some of you kindly answered, saying it likely was WWII era but not one of the big name manufacturers. We’ve since bought the jacket and before we spend the money on fixing the zips with costly authentic zips...

    Thanks for your reply aswatland. Do you think the collar is the original one then, just a different pile fleece from the main body? So not a repair/replacement? Thanks, Cat

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

    Hi everyone, I'm new here and hoping to get some expert opinions on a jacket I have. If this isn't the right thread then I apologise! I believe the jacket is a '40/'41 Irvin. The story is it belonged to a Wellington gunner/nav who was killed early in the war in a training flight. However, no...
