Hi Cliff. Perhaps you could post some pics of your enigmatic Irvin?

Hi Andrew

Here is my mystery Irvin Repro

The skin is very "painty"

any info on how to rectify this or anyone who has seen this label before greatly appreciated.

Very interesting Cliff. It looks like an early Aero, with a Links style rounded collar. Perhaps a one off.

I sent pictures of this Jacket to Aero last year for them to have a look at but they were sure it was not one of theirs. The accuracy and detail (collar strap, the shape of the sleeves etc) of it made me wonder if it was one off copy that someone had had made as a bespoke garment but why bother to put in a "The Aviator" label if this was the case.
