[John Lever]

Someone wants to trade an Aces High Irvin for an Aviation Leathercraft. ...!?

Gosh! Whatever does he want to do this for? The Aces High Irvin is light years ahead of an ALC one!

I think I'll go buy one and make the trade LOL!!

Good move Scott.

I know it's hard for us to believe, but there are folk out there who would rather have an AL than an Aces High. I bet the fact that the AH hasn't got any pockets is an issue. Most of the World doesn't give a stuff that AH are one of the most accurate Irvin repros going, they just want a warm, comfortable sheepskin jacket to wear in their Morgan or whatever. The 'official Irvin' name thing is probably a big deal to some people too.

You make some good points Mike. It's a shame the seller didn't do his homework properly before ordering an AH jacket.

Bit of luck it'll go to someone who appreciates it Andrew.

Photos on request and a link to AH that is not live is not a good way to encourage bids on an expensive jacket.
