Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all members of the VLJ forum,all their families and all their friends.

It is not this forum or the members here i was referring to.my overall impression of this forum and it's members are incredibly gracious,kind,considerate and down to earth.take this jacket that was being sold by Peter Graham in the Buy and Sell section: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2426 Most members...

I do not buy irvin jackets or trousers anymore.It is all just a ludicrous farce as far as i am concerned now.I won't waste my time with people who buy and sell at those stupid prices either.to me,they are just 8th rate money grabbing self glorifying prats.

The seller has obviously been reading posts here,specifically the black wool coastal command irvin.he uses the exact same phrase from that thread: Proverbial Hens Teeth,and also a few other minute observations and terminologies i have only seen here.I think he is either trying to rekindle the...

Yes,you are correct there Andrew.It sold for the price it is worth.

thank's peter.i've just got home and checked,and i lost out ( as i knew i would ).I didn't expect it to go for £110.00,that is such an unrealistic price for it.the price it sold for actually shows £149.89,which really surprised me,as i expected it to hit the £500 mark to be honest.I feel a bit...

thank you for pointing this jacket out john,i've put a bid of £110.00 on it ( too poor for a larger amount :oops: ).i hope i win,i'll have a complete brown irvin suit then,or even a complete irvin black suit,if it turns out to be black wool...and they'll both fit me aswell.

this irvin, has just sold on ebay for £226.00 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... B:TB6:UK:2 The over all leather condition is pretty decent for it to warrant that price in my mind.it is a shame about the rips though.to be honest,if it did not have the rips,i would only have paid...

£75.00 is about what i price it at aswell.The leather has been totally stripped of it's main cover,and all that is left is a very worn suede leather.bluebottle and myself have irvins like that,except mike's has better leather than mine.with mine,i applied two coats of pecard leather cream,and it...

check this link out.they are selling the following: vintage WWII Irvin Sheepskin Flying Jacket. http://www.rokit.co.uk/product.php?product_id=MC250111 The sellers want £1576.00 for it :lol: :roll:

Just an update on the coastal command irvin.I sent a few pictures to amanda at aero by email of it.she said i will have to send the jacket to them for them to examine and send me a quote.I sent it on july 7th 2008.it arrived at aero's place on tuesday 8th july 2008.I had to chase them up on...

incredible job.i wish i had that skill of workmanship.it is looking great so far fishmeok.

beautiful workmanship

excellent pictures paul.thank you for taking time to post them for us all to see.

ebay france has just been sued for a good few million for selling fake goods.that court case was going on for quite a while,and,throughout it all,and now,after the court case,it looks to me like ebay are still not bothering to try and find these fake sellers themselves.they must be relying on...
