Show Us Your Irvins.

[Happy Hooligan]

It’s a little long Derek, but you look natural in it. Great video, happy it went to you!

Thank you again, I'll though look for a shorter one that fits me better for everyday use. I probably need the 42 or 40

 

[Happy Hooligan]

What mean is the pattern looks like the body length is very long compared to originals.

Thank you for the information on it as I know you are the Shearling guy! What size should I look for in an Irvin? I'm a 42 and this one from Aero is a 44. 5' 10" about 150-155

War time Irvins are very short usually 25 inches or less from base of collar to waist.
The Aero pattern looks way too long IMO almost like it has been modified to suit modern tastes.
Go for an ELC size 44.

John's spot on regarding the length of original Irvins. FWIW, I prefer my Irvins slightly oversized so go up a size or two when it comes to repro Irvins.

 

[John Lever]

I used to own a size 48 !

Just looked on Eastman website. Now £1599 !!!!

Girls and boys… discussed here over and over… it will not change…. nor become better…despite tears, puking, cursing…ELC ( plus all prime makers dont ) does not need z’ VLJ nor the z’FL to sell….. Big revenues are not here anymore... but there … since quite a while..
Suck it up and ignore it afterwards..

 

[John Lever]

Yes these are the prices folks

 

[John Lever]

Did anyone get my joke ?

 

[Otter]

That's the jokes folks!

 

[John Lever]

No....all the prices are a penny lower than another 100 gbp

 

[Enigma1938]

Well I'm just glad I was able to buy my 1401p for 650 bucks back in 2012 from eastman. Im pretty sure I wouldn't pay the current price for a repro A2 now....

as much as I LOVE these, I rarely used to wear mine. I reconsidered recently only to look up some photos of me in my last Irvin and confirmed that its just too much jacket for me, draws too much attention, Its an absolute classic but in the same way just too outdated to wear as a legit piece of clothing. Yes, I did get my share of "hey, cool jacket" comments but I also feel/felt silly wearing it........also, practically, these jackets keep you REALLY warm but not your rear so for really cold weather, I prefer the practicality of a longer jacket. In the end, for me, style looses out to functionality and just "well, its 2023, people don't wear this stuff anymore" My wallet thanks me for having this point of view, which is NOT shared by most here. Still, I agree these are awesome jackets!!!!

Not practical here in wet West Scotland, but it is nice for the few days I can.
