IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
Well saved! I would love to see this old jacket brought back to life! The 'teddy bear' style fleece looks great! To my very unexperienced eyes it doesn't look to far gone, all the panels are intact? Main problem seems to be rotten stitching...? I'd say in much better condition than mine...- Mike1973

IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
Grandad's Irvin... This has reminded me of my Grandad's Irvin! He was an Instructor NCO (in the Royal Warwickshire Regt, see avatar) and spent time at airfields in Northern Ireland during the war teaching RAF personnel about the Bren Gun. On one of these postings he managed to buy an Irvin...- Mike1973

Le Tour photos - London - Canterbury After taking in some of the Prologue in London on Saturday, we then parked up on the side of the A26 just outside Tonbridge on Saturday night. Parking by the side of a busy main road for the night wasn't much fun. As well as...- Mike1973

LeTour Talking of races, anybody going to watch the Tour when it comes to London and Kent? I'm going to do my best to try and see some of the stage from London to Canterbury, my folks live in Hever which isn't far from the route...

On yer bike!
Just my saddle bags... This is a British 1908 ('15) Pattern haversack that has had the back and side buckles removed. I used some straps out of my spares box to fix it to the back of the saddle. If it still had the side buckles I could attach a 08 cross strap and use it as a shoulder bag...- Mike1973

30s-50s British Suit Trouser photo resource
