It's interesting that "bomber" jackets are making a comeback these days. Wasn't there a shot recently of Brad Pitt (not that I'm a great fan) wearing an Irvin? And the Orvis catalogue last fall had what looked to be both a Cockpit B-3 and a G-1.

Here you go Deacon, but personally I prefer Terry Gilliams almost - wannabe Irvin myself

I am looking to purchase my first Irvin.

Little luck on the interwebs, 1 or 2 over priced on evil bay.

Irvin Repop from "Noble House" in Germany ...

it rather "hangs" on me coz i dropped some weight since i bought that jacket

i know about those originally not existing pockets but they are off good use anyway when motorbike cycling

so far i'm still pretty satisfied with the jacket but Need to replace coz of the size issue

4444Design, that coat looks fine. It is, after all, a big ol' heavy winter coat, and looks as such. Plenty of room to move around and to add a thick sweater. Also, those are interesting half-chaps you have.

THX for the Feedback - actually with a thick Sweater underneath the jacket 'n size are pretty perfect
winters in Beijing are extra dry mostly without snow or anything but very cold - so those chaps (which everybody there uses) became pretty Handy to avoid freezing my knees off
those things where made from artificial leather and dirt-cheap (less than 5 bucks)

or even better Zündapp KS 750 ...

I am sure the 750 is a better bike, I just like that I would be able to tell people, it's a four cylinder! In fact, I just mentioned this a couple of weeks ago to a Goldwing rider, who has been riding for almost 70 years, and knows about Zundapp, and he did not know they built a four cylinder.

Boys,

I'm looking for advice. After years of research, I've decided on a Eastman B3 sheepskin Battle of Britain jacket. I was hoping someone here would have the sheepskin series and would be about the same size as me or close to it to give me advice on size.

I'm 5'-9.5" tall, weight 230 with a 42" waist. I'm looking at either the 46" or 48". I'm worried the 48" will be too long in the arms. Can anyone give me some help?

Hey Elvis,

I tried to email you but the network is busy. You have blocked emails from members on the Lounge. If you unblock it, I can resend the email I sent you.

In short, we are close in size, go for the 48, long if you are at all long in the arms or torso and reg if not.

Oh, one more thing Elvis....I'm not sure if you are looking for a US Army Air Corps B-3 jacket or a Royal Air Force Irvin Battle of Britain jacket.

In any case, I think I'd go the same way in sizing.

Deacon211,

So sorry my man! I'm really bad at this kind of stuff. I'll try to see what I did wrong on and allow for incoming messages. No clue what I did.
