Sending it back so they can take a closer look. They said it has rarely happened in a few places. Never an entire jacket. This condition covered the entire jacket. It did not brush off. Some fibers could be pulled out easily. Others are deeply rooted and lifted the skin when tugged on. I am...

New Aero irvin. The shearling is penetrating the jacket skin making the outside skin look fuzzy everywhere. Some of these tiny fibers can be pulled out other curly ones are tight. Literally thousands of fuzzy bits. Is this typical for Irvin ore war jackets? Does it go away? It does not brush...

One more picture of this condition. Difficult to get a clear view with my phone.

What is this? New Aero Irvin jacket with shearling poking out the opposite side. Is this normal? Is it OK? Some can be pulled out and some are stuck. It covers the entire garment.

The motorcycle gloves work well with the sleeve. I'm an instrument rated commercial pilot. I sold the airplane a few years ago to retire early from my job testing( NDT nondestructive testing) fighter jets I still enjoy the vibe.

One flaw in the elastic strap behind the neck. Some of the white elastic mot covered. A few close up shots of the sleeve.

I was going to order the late war model because I thought the back design was more interesting. Carrie sent me this pre-war to check out. The sleeves could be a bit longer for riding. The belt rides slightly below my blue jean belt. Is this the correct spot? The jacket is super soft. It...

Not sure why the pictures turned... Body length? Should it be shorter?

It's Anne, I'm back again for a fit check on a stock size 36 Irvin. It weighs 4.2 pounds. Back length 24" , sleeve length 25" , p2p 22", bottom opening 20". Please wait for pictures to load. Zipped unzipped and on motorcycle.

My neighbor used to a good job on the skins. A whole bunch of fun chasing hounds through the woods at night with a flashlight and a 22. Not so much fun when one gets hung up on a branch and you have to climb the tree to get it. Very popular in the 1920's and 1930's. Also early 1970's. I didn't...

Yes! Quick dispatch with a rifle round. And don't forget to make beautiful jackets and leather goods from the hide. The racoon is also a disease spreader. Rabies and distemper. Unfortunately demand for racoon coats and hats has declined well below the supply. However they are also tasty.

Notice the open field behind this guy. And in front. No crawling through thickets. No danger of jacket damage. These hunts use a pack of dogs to surround and bite the animal. The hunters catch up on 4 wheelers. Get out and stab the critter attempting to hide in a ditch between 2 fields.

The description markets this as a "party" jacket. Not motorcycle riding apparel. At first glance I would imagine it was an intentional homage to women survivers of breast cancer. Perhaps a family member. However the description leads in the opposite direction...

3 more pictures to pin down jacket length. Should I add 1/2"?
