New revamped Aero-Leather Irvin´s any experiece any scans any advices

I am interested in ordering one trial Aero-Leather Irvin, most probably one of the three current non Hood models.
Any recomendation, since they have various zips and fur and skin shades available ?
The lower box part of the front zip still looks very unreal (same as a modern YKK model) at least on their Webpage...I made similar experiences with their best A-2 model´s zips...but this is a few months ago... any experiences with the revamped jackets/ zips/ Irvins?
Please help/advise...
thx.

These Lightning style zips are reproductions. Whilst the puller is a close match for a Wartime Lightning one, the bottom stopper is not.

Hi Andrew
thx... here the brass zip of the revamped Irvin, not as it should be fora 1000 Euro repro.
Even the rivets look no good.
No idea what Sloan 1874 means when writing, "dead stock, original zips" etc...
Thx for your valued inputs.
HAPPY EASTER.


thx for your very valued imputs.

These are clearly nothing like the zips found on original jackets. Aero have been using their "AM" marked zips for quite some time now. The Lightning ones are preferable as to the untrained eye they look more like original zips.

There is a whole thread on Aero's revamped Irvins so why start another ?
No I am not an Aero rep but for some one who wants to learn about their jackets it is a strange thing to criticise in the way you have without having seeing one.

There are pictures on the revamped and much more accurate Aero Irvins in the repro Irvin thread on this site. John is not an Aero rep and has done business with Aero as many have done here.

Does anyone make repro Irvin zips suitable for jackets? That is, those with that fancy box stopper that looks like a sort of 'Y' shape.

Where is this attitude coming from? People try to help you and then you abuse them because you've a weak grasp of English colloquialisms.

Riri make zips with the slider bucket which ELC uses with a Lightning style puller. No one else makes them I'm afraid.
