It might need to be a late WW2 Multi Panel, I can't say until we see how much trimming off there will be to the edges of the pelts once they come back finished, they aren't enormous skins

 

[seres]

Count me in, too!

Just out of interest, does anyone know how many black fleece Irvins were originally made?

For me, this is first time i have an opportunity to see this kind of Irvin jacket. I must admit, it looks very nice.

No idea Nick and I doubt that specific information regarding that ever existed. I have a number of period photos of them (some I have posted here including the one of Coningham) so they were not as rare as hen's teeth yet still not exactly numerous. You'd have to hazard a guess and imagine that there were perhaps somewhere between 50 to maybe at the absolute most 150 - 200 made. I'd be very surprised if it was more than that.
