Vintage Leather Jackets Forum

Ok John, I will let you know when its on its way.

Hello John, I posted the buckle off to you this morning, first class, should be with you by wednesday hopefully.

That is so kind, what's your email? I'll Paypal friends and family some money over. What's the damage?

Hello John, lets make sure that it gets to you first. Consider it a gift, if it makes you happy then thats good enough for me.

Thankyou Paul it fits a treat (It's too good for the rest of the jacket!)
You have restored my jaded faith in humanity which is a rare thing these days.
I'm hoping the ALJ will tick all my boxes.
The buckle looks like an original, is it?
Thanks again, John.

Hello John, im glad you are pleased with it. Yes it is an origional from a pair of Irvin trousers.
Thanks for letting me know.

I'd like to see a pic of your collection, I'm making an educated gues you have a few?
My original ww2 was a little too small and the zips gave in.
You know the story!!

Hello John, I have several British and American jackets all bought in search of the holy grail ( a good fitting origional) , over the years I have bought and sold many more. My best fitting jacket is the oldest one, a wired Irvin dated 1940. The older ones tend to be bigger sizes and from my experience are better quality.
