Aces High Pre War Irvin - review and pics

[Roughwear]

Jon's zips are based on Lightning zips and they do not have the slider bucket found on original Dot zips.

Where can we see a photo of the original zipper please? I 've never seen one.

(edit)

Here you go...hope it helps.

Someone asked for pics from outside. Here are just a few. The color of the jacket is more true here.

And finally - somewhere in France, winter 1939

I own an ELC BoB Irvin I love, but I have to be honest, yours is the best I've seen

Just some atmosphere. The room above the country pub.
This is how my Irvin looks after snow, rain, storm and a lot of use and misuse.

Channeling Bull....

Andrew, when I saw the pic I thought exactly the same: Bull Halahan. Remarkable.

Mission completed. When I chose that exact location for a shot, I had a certain picture in my mind too.

After one and a half years use, it looks like this.
(Sorry 'bout the quality. Only had my iPhone at hand.)

Love the nicknames, what!

Really looking good Soren
This jacket is going to age very well
IMHO the Aces Irvins are the best looking out there.
Another month and my Eastman will be coming out

Not sure how "Pussy" translates to you guys, but not so good here in the U.S. So I'm guessing the photo has been flipped and he's the guy far left that looks a little pissed off.

See? it's even auto-edited here on the forum.

apart from referring to a cat, the term pussy means pretty much the same in the UK as it does in the US
