Two very nice early Irvins as well...

aswatland said:Yes it was pulled over the head to keep the collar up right in a slip stream etc... The elastic strap was actually designed for pilots and navigators in open-cockpit biplanes. It was no longer incorporated in Irvins from 1944 onwards.

and to think they claim it's just what the RAF wore...i like their other jackets for beaters, but this is bad...
