    Any vintage alternatives to the trench coat?

    The british Duffelcoat might also work for you.

    Guy who built his own Irvin(?) - Anyone remember?

    Could it be Jon (Jonnyboy)? He makes the best Irvin repros available at the moment. Check them out here: http://www.aceshighjackets.com/ I know - I have one of them.

    Just got my SECOND Aero...

    Couldn't help it - of course I wanted to see how my Irvin was working for you. Looking good - and a perfect fit. It might be of some help, that the fleece will "flatten" after some more breaking in and use. Then the jacket will be softer and less tight/cumbersome in use. All in all - congrats!

    My new Aces High Irvin

    Thank you for your kind words, but I prefer not to go down that road again. I promised myself never to go in here again - partly because I would not give a certain bartender the satisfaction of "I told you, you would come crawling back. Even under a new name." I am not coming back. Only...

    My new Aces High Irvin

    Thanks. Not for long though. Only because I promised to show the jacket and to give it a review. Pictures of me wearing it in the "Repro Irvin Section".

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    I do believe the sleeve length is standard - Jon operates with the original patterns! All I gave him was my personal measures, and he figured out the size from there. (As a fallback I gave him the measures of my Aero Irvin - which is slightly too big for me.) But the jacket is a standard size -...

    My new Aces High Irvin

    ...as promised, before I left, here are a couple of the shots Jon (Aces High) sent of my new pre war model Irvin. It has been long underway, because I decided to wait for the brand new Lightning repro zippers, Jon had in production. I'll post some "action-shots" when I receive the jacket, which...

    Due to censorship of some of my posts - and a very heated discussion on that in The Observation Bar, finishig off with some very harsh and personal remarks from one of the bartenders - I have decided to leave FL. I will - however - come back one more time with pictures of my long awaited...

    Censorship at Fedora Lounge

    That's it. I am out of here. And with an attiude like LizziMaines, I see no reason what so ever to come back. To my friends here: Thanks for some good times, good conversations and a great time. See you at the VLJ forum.

    Censorship at Fedora Lounge

    Casechopper, I am not sure I'll be leaving the lounge - but I am definitely leaving this thread. And I might stick my nose in now and again in the very few threads that actually gives me anything. Or where I am allowed to speak about things, I happen to know about. See you around. Some time.
