    Thank you gents. Yes he really lived a fantastic and dangerous life. (I have included some extra pictures to the story.) If anybody out there have more information on Lewis, I would be happy to hear about it. For instance - I do believe he is dead now. Just don't know when. (Edit: I do...

    Way back on my mothers side - 1723 or even before - my family either came from Scotland or Ireland. They were weavers and were more or less voluntarely "imported" by the danish king - to get the quality weaving business going. So my family history goes - but I guesse that isn't enough to qualify.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Congrats on your Irvin, Greeny - and welcome to the club. You're looking good! Like all the others have said: it's a huge, heavy - in may ways - clumsy jacket. But that's just what gives it character - and that's just what we like. Enjoy it - and next year, you will never part from it...

    So, I'mma be a dad. . . . . OMG!

    The best advice a father of two boys - now grown up young men - can give you is this: Rember everything they do - no matter how irritating, stupid, boring (for you), mindwrecking, etc. etc. - it is just a transition! So love every minute of it. Good luck!:)
