Looks like a D-1 to me. The pocket flaps are of course added. Also looks well greased.

Yes, a D-1 covered in goop.

I'm not sure the added pocket flaps do much for this D-1. :roll:

I've seen sellers pedaling Irvins gooped up just like this. LOL
The D-1 pocket modification looks odd but practical if the zippers are blown out. Reminds me of a pair of 1930's 501's I saw in the Levi's archive with leather pocket flaps added.

It does look as if the German seller has given the jacket and trousers a coat of leather conditioner and has not allowed the leather to absorb it before photographing it for Ebay. Irvins generally absorb conditioner better than US shearlings.
