Soviet female pilots The one on right I'm taking out for dinner so I'll let you know if her trousers were as nice as her jacket. I was going to call it a debrief however I'll not go there.- irvinsuit

IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
Soviet Irvins Smithy, my guess would be that Soviet logistics being what they were you would make the best of what you had. I don't have much info on this yet, except to say that I've seen Soviet male pilots in Irvinsuits, and a Soviet General wearing an Irvin jacket. But most noted of...- irvinsuit

IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
BK, I've seen many different references to the linings of irvinsuits, always fleece, fur, or wool. The most common references are fleece and fur and they are in fact both refering to exactly the same type of material. Even today, modern sheepskins are refered to as fleece and fur so I think...- irvinsuit

IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
Irvinsuit Advert Guys, I have an Irvinsuit advert dated August 9, 1939 from "The Aeroplane" magazine. It clearly shows the jacket, trousers, and Irvin helmet. I'll get this scanned in over the Christmas holidays, however I'll need some advice regarding posting the jpg or bmp on this site...- irvinsuit

IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
Doc, the only company known to me that makes Irvin Trousers is Aviation Leathercraft and they are NOT the authentic shape, in fact I think that they look dreadful. I really wish that one of our known Irvin producers would do a run of Irvin Trousers, as the WW2 pairs that I have are really...- irvinsuit

IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
Irvin Trousers Hi Alan, I understand that the correct way to dress was Irvin Trousers on first, then tucked into unzipped flying boots therefore reducing the danger to the trousers zips. I have a pair of 1941 trousers and 1940 trousers and I'm careful to protect the zips against any...- irvinsuit

Hooded Irvin Hi Edward, I completely agree with you, however if was beaten up on the forums for this then I could always nip out and buy a tin of yellow paint and a brush for about £5 I think that we should lobby parliament to get a Hooded Irvin manufacturer set up lol- irvinsuit

IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
Irvin frustrations... Thanks for the responses guys. I guess that I'm thinking that even if the good manaufacturers decided to vary their patterns each year and for example make a heavier Irvin in a chocolate brown colour for 2008 only then you could get that variation that we so lack. I...- irvinsuit

Irvin frustrations... Hi Everyone, I'm new here and I thought that I'd add a posting to the forum regarding some observations and frustations with Irvin products. Firstly if you look at the various manufacturers you can get all manner of USAAF and USN leathers and shearlings including...- irvinsuit
