Eastman Irvine with added practicality

Being a B-2 guy, I think it looks great! Also, the fact that it's slightly bellowed; should make it a bit easier to retrieve something at the bottom of the pocket. I might have this type of pocket installed on the B-2 that Steve makes for me.

I think the original pockets were bellowed. It would seem that all the repro makers got this wrong as the flat pocket is almost useless.

I agree 100%

its interesting that most people don't like asymmetry, especially on an Irvine, which depending on the hide construction could be asymmetrical.

 

[John Lever]

Just curious, what size is it ?

I think they missed on the collars too. Most repros I've seen have tall, "volcano" looking collars vs. the more flattened looking originals.

It does sit very differently

Looks pretty bitchin, I love inside pockets too, so useful!

Okay, I have to admit I keep coming back to look at this and I'm starting to like it.

When I wear my Irvin, I always makes sure, I have enough pockets. In my trousers!
I love the original design of the Irvin as it is. And would never spoil it with pockets. Inside or outside.
But each to his own.
