The Black Sheep Irvin - Coming Soon from Aero

[Chandler]

Mine is mouton....

But... are the cuffs purple?

After a few enquiries I have just ordered in a small batch of Black ( well dark brown) fleece RAF skins in. Will be maybe 6 weeks until we receive and don't want to take any orders till we have seen them but looks like we will be able to do another small batch of these with better fleece / colouring

Really cool news, Denny - I'll look forward to seeing the first pictures.

Hi Denny
Will you be doing a test jacket and is there a size 48 in the works ? Also the last ones that were made used a light colored hide which was way off from the originals . May I suggest that you use you standard Irvin colored hide in the production .

Don't worry about the colour as mentioned the fleece colour and shell colour will be better. The shell will be as per our regular RAF Russet, the fleece will (should be) same texture and depth as our regular but a dark brown.
There is nothing in the works and due to limited hides first jacket will likely be an order (after material approval) if you want a 48 it would need to be ordered

Ok … please let us know when it’s ok to place an order. Thanks

I might have read Denny's post wrong, but I THINK he's suggesting you can order the Irvin now and just include a note that you want it made in the new black sheep shearling they're getting in.

I'm glad you're making a new batch. I don't suppose you'll have a trade in your old black for the new dark brown one will you?

I think you read it wrong . See above .

Thanks Denny, it's great to see the Aero RAF offer keeping it interesting

Once we recieve and approve the skins we will be open for orders, a bit risky taking orders when we haven't yet secured the materials.

As always we are always open to trade ins

Gotcha - thanks for the clarification, Denny (and Burt)

Just keep repeating in your mind over and over…… B-Man wants a 48 …. B-Man wants a 48……

Yeah, honestly, I can't wear even unlined leather much here in Pasadena, but I am in love with this jacket!
Maybe I can trade in my first made-for-me Aero 50's half belt...hmmm, two 48's coming up!

My attempts to get my wife to move to a colder climate are met with some skepticism when she sees me reading these posts...she's just too warm blooded to go where I could trade in my jackets for something sheepy. But man, I've got the Jones for this one...

 

[denny@aero]

It has taken a while to not just get the fleece in, but also to find a gap in our busy sheepskin production but here is the first jacket made in the new limited batch of Dark fleece. We only have enough for a handful of jackets. Tony our Sheepskin machinist likes it so much i think some of the fleece is going towards one for him.

 

[ButteMT61]

That's hot! I will have to just sit and be jealous of any fellow members getting one...and I will be!

 

[MikeyB-17]

Sniff! I want one.

 

[Happy Hooligan]

I'm thinking of selling mine as I just don't get enough really cold days to enjoy it. Is there still a demand for these? This would be from Aero's first batch.
