I’m not sure if this will be of interest however I recently stumbled across this Cockpit Clothing Co. BoB Limited Edition Irvin jacket listed on eBay here in the UK.
Being just titled ‘Vintage Flying Jacket’ the listing probably isn’t getting the views it might have done had it been more accurately described.
Anyway, as the price wasn’t excessive I’ve been exchanging messages about the measurements and fit with the seller.
It would appear the jacket was originally tailor made to a custom order. This might explain why at 59cm’s the sleeves seem to be a little on the short side when compared with the rest of the jacket.
Needless to say I have no other connection with either the buyer or jacket and had the sleeves been 4-5cm’s longer I would’ve bought it myself but thought this might appeal to someone on here whose arms are shorter than mine (not that I’m anywhere near simian-like, just all neatly in proportion)
