Andrew: Your Irvin collection just keeps getting more amazing!
Good taste and self preservation preclude posting pictures - "item in question" refers to my mother in law,e to get back on topic![/QUOT
Paddy, could you please delete all this rubbish. this is one of the most interesting threads on the whole internet not just FL and doesnt need this kind of stuff. thanks
Good taste and self preservation preclude posting pictures - "item in question" refers to my mother in law, late war vintage, built when meat was cheap. If you can visualise a more masculine version of Soren (admitedly without the beard) in drag you won't be far off the mark. Curiously my wife is the eldest of seven siblings, the only possible explanation being that my father in law served in the merchant navy. Moral of the story? If you suffer from erectile dysfunction, or worry that you are becoming too much of a perfectionist, or indeed have any standards whatsoever when it comes to the fairer sex, before investing in Viagra, try three months at sea.
Paddy, I really do promise to get back on topic!
BACK to 1933!
The "A.C." on the Label of my mint 1933 Irvin which is featured before the recent light-hearted posts is only part of the complete stamp. The letter "I" did not print on the label probably because the stamp was not applied to the jacket with sufficient pressure on a flat surface. I.A.C. = Irvin Air Chute!
The two labels from my 1933 jackets show the complete stamp and the partially applied one.
