    Eastman 1942 Irvin Jacket for sale, mint condition. Hi, I am selling my Size 44 Eastman Irvin, because I don't like it anymore. To be honest I've only worn the jacket (gently) on 5 or 6 occasions. It isn't even properly broken in yet, so that will be the new owner's job. Measurements - base...

    Aero late war and Air Arm Irvins

    Hi Sloan, I completely agree with you. There is no such thing as the 'definitive Irvin' the are some that you look at ( originals and repros ) and you think 'yeah that's okay' and there are some that you look at and think 'gimme that now'. I guess that's the beauty of the variations across...

    Hi Andrew, many thanks for the advice. Can you guide me as to where I can get a replacement slider, would Aero Leathers have one ? Once I have located a new slider, can you advise as to how I fit the thing. Do I need to dismantle the zip fastener retainer box at the top of the trousers to...

    Irvin Trousers Zip not working Guys, I have a disaster on my hands. My much loved and occasionally worn Irvin trousers are useless at the moment because the runner on one of the leg zips no longer joins the teeth. Instead it the runner just runs ( slightly roughly ) down the leg without...

    Hi Everyone, I need Andrew's help on this one. Having done the thoroughly decent thing and purchased Roger the Bomber Command bear, he arrived resplendent in his Irvin Jacket. I am attempting to date the maunfacturer and the year of manufacture, as Roger has removed any Air Ministry labels...
