yup, whatever you decide you gonna have an awesome jacket

It's very easy to make a supersized functional Irvin look good when underneath you are wearing a thick wool blouse, wool shirt, tie, suspenders, underwear tshirt and so on. Nowadays we don't wear as much stuff and an oversized Irvin would just look baggy, while in the historical pictures they...

in case ya need 38" Aero Irvin I'm selling mine
