Early ALC Irvin

[Roughwear]

This looks like one of Aviation Leathercraft's 1970s Irvins and is very different from the current teddy bear type of jackets they sell. The lack of pockets is a bonus and the price is fair.

Yes, looks indeed very nice. Short body, long sleeves. The sleeves do seem very narrow at the wrists though. Am I right?

Don't bother with it. I have one that I wore for years before realising that it would never wear in.
These early ones make Lost Worlds feel like silk in comparison.

It actually looks okay to me. Could do with changing the zips. I do think he's asking rather a tad too much for that ALC to be honest :roll:

I had one I bought from a motorbike dealer who sold them down the Old Kent Road in 1979'ish and it was a good jacket although very stiff; way better than their current crop though.
