OK, there's been a lot of bad karma on this forum recently culminating in the sad death of our own deeb7. Postings have practically stopped since then but if we don't keep going then this forum will die and that's the last thing Dave would want so here's an innocuous question. Which do you prefer, B-3 or Irvin ? Both created for the same purpose but very different. I've owned originals of both and I've got to say that the B-3 wins hands down. Why ? The extra inch or so in length plus the one pocket make it a practical jacket. In the Irvin's defence, it's a nicer looking jacket with better quality skins but the sleeve zippers make the lower arms nearly rigid. There's loads of other issues involving both jackets but I'm just trying to start the ball rolling. Thoughts ?
