    PM me if you want to ask questions - I was involved in the initial work up of the design.

    +1!

    ID original WW2 IRVIN Multi panel... date? maker?

    I particularly like the Links pattern, something about the rounded collar and shorter sleeves that works for me.

    Links Mid War (1941-42) Irvin Jacket Larger Size 46" (Size 7 or 8)

    ...and sold, thank you. :)

    Is this a repro M-422a?

    +1 (characteristic brown hide, wine red lining and dull purple knits).

    What are Mint Irvin trousers with mint lightning zips worth?

    They sold well Andrew, but they've gone to an appreciative buyer who valued their condition. With a pair of receivers for braces they'll be great.

    Links Mid War (1941-42) Irvin Jacket Larger Size 46" (Size 7 or 8)

    Apologies, 'my bad' as the young people say... I posted in the wrong section. Thanks for picking it up Andrew.

    What are Mint Irvin trousers with mint lightning zips worth?

    My trousers sold very quickly at just over £400, so your mint pair should command a good price, were you ever minded to put them on the market.

    How responsive are all repro makers

    Very good experiences with John (Good Wear) and I have been well served by Eastman (supply spare buttons, leather and collar knit for an A-1). Bill Kelso also very helpful indeed.

    Links Mid War (1941-42) Irvin Jacket Larger Size 46" (Size 7 or 8)

    The dimensions of the jacket put it closer to a 44, which is odd as it's definitely more roomy than the ELC RAF '42 pattern that I tried on at the same time (must be depth of fleece or more relaxed cut, I guess). Zipped and laid flat: Chest (pit to pit) 24" Front length (base of collar to edge...

    Links Mid War (1941-42) Irvin Jacket Larger Size 46" (Size 7 or 8)

    This is a lovely jacket - the stitching looks stronger in the flesh (once the tapes have been dressed with Pecards this will improve). The previous owner took great care to preserve it and it's survived very well. I've tried it on and it fits me perfectly.

    Sheepskin trousers by Irvin Air Chute 1941 (size 6, waist 36-38")

    Thank you DD. They came from EBay with the Links jacket that I posted. They were poorly photographed, without dimensions, limited description. I followed up with a discussion to find out a bit more. Fortunately, they were local to me (few miles away) so it was possible to have them delivered...

    Links Mid War (1941-42) Irvin Jacket Larger Size 46" (Size 7 or 8)

    Yes, you're absolutely right Andrew - they're sturdy and supple but in need of some TLC.

    Sheepskin trousers by Irvin Air Chute 1941 (size 6, waist 36-38")

    Here is a pair of sheepskin trousers by Irvin Air Chute in a larger size (size 6, waist 36-38", inside leg 33.5"). The label is present and reveals the trousers to be from 1941 and size 6. The hide needs a feed as it's a little dry from storage, but otherwise it's in very supple condition...

    Links Mid War (1941-42) Irvin Jacket Larger Size 46" (Size 7 or 8)

    Here is a mid-war pattern Links Irvin in a larger size (the characteristic rounded collar is evident). The label is missing, but it compares very well with an Eastman Leather Company RAF reproduction jacket in a size 46, so presumably it equates with a size 7 or 8. I previously had a 2-panel...

    What are Mint Irvin trousers with mint lightning zips worth?

    Have you ever seen any go for higher than that, Andrew?

    What are Mint Irvin trousers with mint lightning zips worth?

    I couldn't quite understand that; you must have had your tongue firmly in your cheek... ;) Really interesting to see trousers with the braces/suspenders present.

    Sorry, I don't make myself clear - I thought you wanted to buy, rather than sell.
