thanks Steve, I haven't worn this A2 in a good while so quite refreshing having a roomier RW fit today.

Wearing this very warm Wareings Irvin today!

Andrew,

It seems to be such a well-preserved jacket. Did you use any type of leather dressing (like Pecard) on that Irvin, or did it not need any major restoration? What would you personally recommend for sheepskin restoration?

I use Pecards Dennis. There is a thread about this jacket in Vintage. I'm not sure what you mean by sheepskin restoration. I generally use Wartime sheepskin when restoring Irvins.

Thanks Andrew. I really was interested to know whether you'd had to apply Pecards (or another preparation) on it. Was the jacket very dried out when you got it?

 

[Roughwear]

The leather was in good order when I bought it and not dried out like some jackets. Pecards stills helps to further condition the leather though.

LOVE Pecards!!!! Nice looking Irvin Andrew!

ELC Irvin again today. Most Scandinavians wear modern, high tech, ultra space age material outdoor gear and they seem to get a genuine kick out of seeing someone wearing something so different as an old school flying jacket judging by the positive comments the Irvin attracts just tootling about town. Either that or they're thinking, "typical bloody silly foreigner!"

Outing for Steve's early ELC Irvin and my 1940 Wareings jacket at Duxford today. More pictures in Regional Meetings.

3 degrees and rain today so my Aero Barnstormer which always does well in the rain.

 

[Smithy]

Shocker today, sleet, rain, hail, snow and gale force winds. Grabbed the Barnstormer again with submarine jumper, thermals scarf and gloves. The FQHH did the trick of keeping the wind and wet out.
