    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    In some way it's kind of funny that so many people ask for altered Irvins. Just imagin a young flying officer in 1940: "I say, Squadron leader, can I get my Irvin a bit longer, if it's not too much trouble -and the sleeves a bit more tight, please?" lol

    Tuscany trip coming up....

    Have a great trip, Dixon Cannon. You're going to love it. Avoid Pisa - it's a tourist trap. Go to Sienna instead. A great and beautifull city. (Got a very good restaurant there - if you are intersted) Avoid the restaurants on the townhall square. Only good for a very expensive coffe or...

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Don't know what happened to the other picture. So here we go again. And yes, John L. you may be right, that Aero used a whole skin for each panel. (What else could they do. I stand 6'4 and has a chest/shoulders like a barrel.) But I am also pretty sure that the manufactureres of Irvins back...

    Here is a picture of my new Ace Cafe sweater - don't know if its more or less "original" - bottom line is, it's a damn nice sweater.:D I have more or less lived in it since I got it.

    Greeny - when it all boils down, it's a matter of you own personal taste. But I will suggest, that you talk to Amanda at Aero. They are very open to alterations/personal taste - you might even be able to talk them into making the sleeves a bit tighter. If that's your problem. Good luck - and...

    Aero Rollneck RAF sweater

    Tak skal du ha' - no it was my mistake. The package from US - with custome!!!! - was a very nice scarf from Petermann. I had just forgotten all about it - and got things mixed up. The jersey/sweater came directly from UK - with some delay due to a strike.

    Don't know - I only know that my Ace Cafe Sweater was shipped from US - allthough the Ace Cafe Shop is in UK. Strange....? Haven't picked it up at the postoffice yet. Maybe I will know a lot more in a few hours. (Edit) Now I am so much wiser and forgetful - it wasn't a sweater in the mail -...

    Replicaters in India, How good are they?

    HI DR. Regarding your RAF BD with Eagle Sq insignia. To my knowledge the battle dress uniforms were not in use in the beginning of the war - only came in use around 1942 (don't hang me for this) - but weren't all the Eagle Squadrons in USAAF by then? Just a thought. I may be wrong - or you...

    Wine and Cheese

    I am 100% behind Sam here. An old french farmer once taught me the secret. You take a local cheese, a local bread - and a local wine. Chew the cheese and bread together - while you still have it in your mouth, you take a sip of the wine. Chew it all together and enjoy...heaven!:D When...
