Oh my word...that's Irvin heaven you're in my son...
What a corking piece of sheepskin you have on your back there!! Damn fine piece and looks in cracking order too (not that I can see the detailing).
(when you can, get the wee digi out and get a few close up pics please of zips, hood, labels (if any), zip stopper, fleece...etc, etc. I KNOW, it's all effort but the boys here will love and salute you for it, so don't deny yourself the fine tributes coming your way when they get a load of that Irvin!)
I like the fact that you have thought outside the box in your reenacting too. Not too many RN FAA from WWII, so good on you! And should make you much more interesting to folks at the shows who want to know more about their role/service in WWII.
I was just handling a Coastal Command Irvin (just like yours) yesterday, with lovely Lightening Zips, yellowed hood..etc. They go for a comparative song, compared to the more traditional Irvins (sadly, some folk buy them and then butcher the collar by cutting the hood off and turning it into an IrvinStein. Bad!!).
Thanks for coming through on that for us, and WELCOME TO OUR LITTLE TFL-IWC Club.
