IRVIN WEATHER!

[Roughwear]

This winter I have been wearing this Irvin on a regular basis. This one is sufficiently large to wear a suit jacket underneath it. I'm sure you guys will be able to identify the maker from these photos! It is not a recent reproduction.

It is not a recent reproduction.

:shock: Had a look at the photos and had to read that line twice! If that's an original... WOW!

I wish it was Irvin weather here. We hit 40.7 celsius where we are yesterday and added to that we had the strange Aussie condition of a nearly gale force northerly, so straight off the desert and the weirdest thing where the wind is hotter than the ambient temperature and rather than offering relief is like a blast from a furnace.

Trudging around in the snow whilst rugged up in an Irvin sounds like bliss right now!

-20 TO -26 and lots of snow over the last few days and the ELC BofB Irvin is performing well

Very nice Irvin, not much chance of wearing mine at the moment as the weather is mild, damp and not very wintery and I actually wore my A2 yesterday.......roll on the colder weather is it ever shows its face this winter.
