    RAF Irvin vs Coastal Command Version

    Quick question, with a hopefully quick answer- is the yellow hood the only difference between the standard RAF Irvin and the Coastal Command version? I know the number of panels used in constructing the jackets increased with time, that really isn't what I am wondering. Thank you for your help!

    I am wondering that too. Just the fact that they are there instead of leather cuffs and a leather lower band with elastic? Or are you seeing a problem in the knits others are missing?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I am seriously considering a Five Star Irvin, but I am concerned about length measurements. Any thoughts on how a USN M444 jacket fits compared to an Irvin? An M444 is the only shearling jacket I have access to.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I like A2 jackets, but I also like hand warmer pockets, so I was on the lookout for a postwar civilian style jacket. I took a punt on this Californian in horsehide. So far so good. It could be an inch longer in the sleeves and body. The leather is stiff, as mentioned by the seller, but...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I used iDye to dye a wool-blend reproduction military uniform, with very good results. I had to use both the Natural (fiber reactive) and Poly version of the color to do it because of the polyester in the wool and thread. The first attempt to dye it black with a different brand of fiber reactive...

    Great Wyler. A coffin-link band is another rabbit hole to explore.
