    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    Here's a few pics of my jacket, however after looking at other photos of another ELC vintage finish it looks to me as though the vintage finish on my jacket looks different and has a sort of white tinge in parts to the leather. So can anybody who has an ELC Irvin 42 pattern vintage finish have...

    What sort of flight jacket weather are you having these days..?

    Once again it's raining in my part of the UK but that's nothing new lol, definately not sheepskin weather but could probably get away with my A2 even though it is still quite warm. You never know, hopefully I may get to wear my Irvin once or twice this year if I am lucky :)

Currently looking at an Areo Bronco from which you guys have mentioned seem to have better knits so this may be the way go for my...

    ELC knits

    Anyone else think that the ELC knits - cuffs and waistband seem a little on the thin and flimsy side, well compared to my Cooper A2 they do....just thought that they would be a lot more substantial with being ELC.
