Beautiful Irvins...the more I wear my new one, the more I am loving it.. going one size down from my usual jacket sizing was definitely a great decision in that case...

Blame the wife mate. It's in quarantine, I can't touch if for a bit. She shoved it on the hanger [the wrong way round] but just to take 2 pics. so 1 min max. It's strong, it's not a fragile original, it's not the end of the world.
I've removed the photos. Apologies for causing offence. Bad day today.

Mate!
You have a great woman there. If I asked Tianna to drag out the Monarch she would give me a blank look. I would then say the 'Brown A-2?' and the shoulders might shrug.... Then she would wander off... to do something less important than a jacket pic. (Is there such a pursuit?)
Get that Irvin up there Sir!! Sorry if I rustled the feathers...

Apologies too. Yesterday I was like a bear with a sore head and piles (Hemorrhoids). No excuses other than a change in meds ready for chemo Tuesday. No excuse for it.

Arrived last week first try on today. Earlier ELC Irvin, again thanks to John Lever.
Excuse the gormless expression, my son has the knack of clicking just at the wrong time. I was far from ready for this but it's the best of a bad bunch. Sleeves appear too long as I was just about to shrug it up on my shoulder a bit more. You get the idea anyway.

Guys .. both of your Irvin’s look great !
Makes you wonder why ELC ever quit making them that way in favor of the processes they use today . The older ELC Irvin’s were much nicer and more authentic looking in my opinion. Dumping my new one in favor of an older model as soon as I can.

apropos of the old bikes and sheepskin jackets (and moustaches)post earlier I just came across a photo from 1979, I had just picked up this 1943 WLC45 from the back of a van where it had been stored since 1958 (the '58 tax disc still in the holder which enabled me to keep the reg #). It was a classic piece of '50s customising with buddy seat, buco bags, tassles on handlebars, spotlights etc etc. I am sitting on it looking as if I was ready to take off but the engine was seized..... a few years later it was on the road (spent quite a time in pieces under the bed, i'm sure the old bikers here know all about that, when it was joined by an Indian Chief I was forced into getting to work on it....had too may bikes and cars to play with) , now it's back in storage. Anyway i can't recall what the jacket was, some kind of generic bike jacket, don't have it anymore, nor the moustache. Gosh, where have those 40 years gone ?
