It belongs to Andrew (Swatland) - why not ask him about it?

 

[Luftwaffe-Jacket-Wanted]

Because I dont know him and maybe asking the seller whether is jacket is 100% original WW2 is a bit hmmm...
Whats your opinion about the jacket if I may ask ?

 

[aswatland]

Yes, it's one I'm selling from my collection. It's a very nice jacket with no issues and a great provenance. I bought it direct from the Weeds family.

If it is Andrew you can take his word as Gospel. There is very little he doesn't know about those jackets. He is writing a book about it, hint, hint Andrew!

Thx.
Apologies for my ignorance,but " never ask the waiter whether the food in his restaurant is good."
Thx and realy appreciate.
best.

What do you want to know? Looks like a straight, honest late war jacket with provenance.
In good condition - fleece looks clean and tight and the sheepskin looks well nourished.
Unusually, the label is present and is consistent with the jacket.
The jacket is well described in the listing and checks out with the images presented.
Good luck.

Greetings to the UK.

Even if we didn't know it was Andrew, the seller has 1242 feedbacks with 100% positive rating. I would say that would be an excellent reference for this seller. If I were in the marked for an Irvin, I would be very interested in this one.

I'd trust Andrew.
If he stitched anyone up, well, it wouldn't be worth it to him.

BTW, Andrew, that's a gorgeous jacket! Looks almost brand new! How do you find these things after 70+ years?

Don't ask him, Voodoo Magic!
