To my inexpert eye, they really seem to have gotten it right now... especially the arms, which is where the older pattern was lacking.
Andrew,Aero have certainly improved the pattern used for their pre-War Irvin. Now they just need to sort out the zips.
Griff..this coming winter I will go to theThule airbase Greenland-to play jazz with my band. And my Irvin jacket will be my best companion, to protect me from the arctic cold up there. The summertime in the scandinavian countries are usually not something to write home about, but then we have the long cold wintertime ahead of us...the genuine Irvin season. This we always can look forward to, with some confidence :O) Just some thoughts, facing yet another hot 37 degrees celcius day in Ji nan China
Hi Smithy,
I see you are in Oz, do you get much use out of your Irvin these days?
I bought an Aviation Leathercraft Irvin a few years ago but barely had it on in the 2 years I had it, partly because it wasn cold enough and mostly because of the bulk. I sold it earlier this year to a chap in China but I still yearn for a wearable Irvin. Im in Ballarat, Victoria so we get pretty cold in the winter (daytime temps arounf 10 deg) but I'm wondering if I would get the use out of one less bulky than the AL jacket?
regards
Garry
Will you go back to Norway for good Smithy? It will be quite a change, climate wise.
