Hi, as far as I remember the wait time was 2 - 3 months. Mostly because Jon was waiting for delivery of the sheepskins. But call Jon and ask him, it all depends on how many orders he has. It's a one man company.Spitfire, thanks for posting those pics, I remember when you posted pics of your Aces High Irvin when it was new, and I thought at the time that for cut and color it was the best repro I'd ever seen.
How long was the wait time? I rekin there's no chance of getting one for this winter, but if I order now, it'll all be done and dusted for next winter.
.......... Don't look too closely at the stitching (it was the first thing I've made with a sewing machine!).
Cheers,
Jon
+1This is the result of a first try? Sir, judging from the images, this was an outstanding accomplishment!
Thanks Smithy - that's very kind of you! I should think Norway is the ideal place to be wearing an Irvin! In fact, my avatar photo is from a May 1940 article in 'Match' magazine about the RAF in Norway!
Big J - the wait time at the moment is around 5 - 6 months. I had to put jacket making to one side this summer, as my other work commitments took up most of my time, mostly design work. I've since decided not to take on any new design projects, so I'm now solely concentrating on jacket making. I have a pipeline of orders which should take me through to next February/March.
Smithy - here are a few photos taken this morning of test jacket number one, as it's looking after a few years of hard use. Don't look too closely at the stitching (it was the first thing I've made with a sewing machine!).
Cheers,
Jon
