Any photos of an Aero RAF shearling ("Irvin") jacket (or jackets: either pre-war, Battle of Britain, or later war incarnation) that you may have sold in the past? I'm curious as to whether a different color of shearling wool is employed from that of their ANJ-4's or B-3's.

Hi ChiTownScion,

Being here in the US, we really haven't sold many RAF jackets...it's pretty much all US Military shearling jackets! Aero does have a variety of spec shearlings, so it is likely that the colors and thicknesses are a bit different for the different contracts...
