RAF Irvin jacket

[bebel]

A friend of mine would like to purchase this Irvin that another friend is selling: http://www.le-zouave.com/souvenirs-militaires/1939-1945/autres-pays/irvin-jacket-pre-war-raf.html.

I do not know very well these beautiful jackets. What do you think about this particular, please? Is it an original or not? From what period and who's the manufacturer? ...

Thank you for your help.

Yes it is an original Irvin. This one was made by Links and dates to 1939. There is some wear to the collar and cuffs, but this is normal. Repairs are needed to the sleeve zip tapes. The price is a quite high for a size 40 Irvin. 650 Euros would be a fairer price.

Interesting label. I've never seen one with the little size tag sewn on like that.

@ Peter
I've posted a picture of the Links-Irvinjacket tag in my "sunbath for an english veteran" report last summer (scroll down a little).
