    DIY French Cycle Jacket (aka. Luftwaffe Jacket)

    That's a fine looking Spitfire mate. I've got a 69 MGB but have always been a wee bit envious of the way pretty much the whole fron end opens with the bonnet on a Spit, must make front brakes and everything else a doddle to fix. Garry

    WTB Irvin Zipper

    Hi fellas, I have recently purchased a IAC Irvin with a faulty zip. I'm hoping to replace the slider with a size 8 Lighning or DOT replacement. Does anyone have one they may like to sell? regards Garry

    Original Irvin main zipper.

    Thanks for the response Andrew. Where would I find a size 8 if I don't want to try and fit a 5? Is there a few out there or are they pretty thin on the ground? Garry

    Original Irvin main zipper.

    Hi Folks, I've just taken possession of my original 1942 Irvin which I posted in the main Irvin thread. Im very happy with the jacket but I've noticed that often when I go to close the jacket that the slider does not draw the teeth into each other. I read on a previous thread that as the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I've joined the ranks of the Cafe Racer brigade with this Thurston Comet PLU-3. It's a great fit I think but needs a bit of beating to loosen it up a little. Garry

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Sorry Andrew, last question. I saw earlier in this thread when Soren got his size 6/7 that you mentioned it was away being restored. Can I ask where it was being done and a ball park figure for getting it back to a condition where I feel more confident in wearing it with care. Regards Gsrry

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Very pleased mate and I would have ensured I fitted in a spitfire back in the day. Trim the legs to the ankles and a very short haircut may have worked? Garry

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Thanks for the information Andrew. I would assume, aside from the size 6 aspect, that this is a fairly common model/manufacturer. Would you know in roughy what numbers and where it was made? Lastly, the letters HvP on the tag are written in a particular way, is that any clue to the history of...

    The Grail!! Found an Irvin that fits.

    Hi Peacoat, I'm up in the Victorian Goldfields and it can get pretty cold up here in the winter (even for Seb Lucas), usually around 10-15 degrees. At night it is often in the minus fitures . I also have an MGB rag top which it will be perfect for in the winter months. I also picked up a...

    The Grail!! Found an Irvin that fits.

    After many years of looking for an Irvin that fits the search is over. I found this size 6 Irvin in my local Millitaria shop by chance and practically took the owners arm off to get it. I'm 6'3 and been looking for years, seems most people in the early 40's were 5'6 - 5'8 so large Irvins are...
