Bah humbug, nothing arriving here until late January!
Seems I got this wrong, just had a call to say my Irvin is ready, happy days!

Hurrah! Which model? I'm returning the jeep coat, and yesterday bought a Silverman's own brand N3B. Good as an Alpha, but half the price. Very warm. Nearly bought the black one as this is a civilian take on it (complete with orange liner), but decided green is more flexible, black or brown boots...
Now I need to get a blue poloneck and I can pretend I'm Feargal Sharkey on Top of the Pops in 2978!

Nah, polyester. Down-filled is a lot more than GBP75.00! Plenty warm, though if I was going for a Canadian Winter, I might look at down. The poly is much thicker than the batting in my Buzz B15C Mod, and it's a warmer coat as a result.

That's a great price for that jacket. I'm don't mind a polyester fill, much better than cheap down that's in too many coats today.
The Pre-war version in russet.

Doesn't look like my Vicenza Premier Half Belt remake will make it in time for Xmas but the fit jacket for a new Sheene probably will. At least I will get to try a Board Racer.....
Something to look forward to to soften the blow of going back to work after the holidays, then? The Board Racer is a sharp design if you're looking a cafe racer with the traditional mandarin collar.
I'm actually going for a Sheene style jacket with the August collar, not the mandarin. Carrie and Wade think the Board Racer will be a better base fit than the standard Aero Cafe Racer pattern for me though.....will be interesting.
Hands down best looking fit picer on here. You are the man Dav!
