Guy who built his own Irvin(?) - Anyone remember?

[Fletch]

About 2 years ago, on VLJ but maybe here too, I read some postings by a guy who had taught himself to do leather work by building his own Irvin repro. (Or was it a B-3?) Anyway, does anyone know what happened to him?

I believe Alan Eardley, who no longer posts here, built his own B-3 some years back. I have seen pics of the jacket. They may be still here if you search back posts.

Could it be Jon (Jonnyboy)?
He makes the best Irvin repros available at the moment.

I know - I have one of them.

Sadly there is nothing here about a home made Irvin.

It could well be him Soren and I agree with you about the quality of his repro Irvins. He is a one man production unit in France.

CTTOI it might have been a B-3 he made. I know he wasn't in business (or not yet).

I wanted to ask him about making (ha!) a B-2.
