Interesting they give a plug to the shearling tannery "Merino from the UK Fenland"

One day they will nail the Irvin. Year by year it improves but it's still not quite there...
even so, I'd rather have one of these than an ELC

Yes, all the shearling is Fenland, or South African.

So it's not just my imagination ... I was thinking that the Irvin was looking better.

Yes, this year's Irvin looks very nice, indeed. I also noticed that their A-1 is now in the "natural" horsehide. I can't believe I'm saying this but I kind of like it.

The two Aero B-3's look stunning. £1500 each though !

these jacket are terrific looking - real beautiful stuff but most all like WWII repros on steroids. Less is more guys and the artwork is incredible but mainly overdone. All amazing quality, polished, etc., etc. Kind of caricatures of vintage stuff/style.

I agree that the A-1 looks VERY nice.

A distant cousin to an original A-1 but a beauty nonetheless.

As Miles stated above notwithstanding it's quality the "Irvin" also appears to be a somewhat distant relative to the real thing.

And this is the 'Natural finish' A-1 after 9 months use,

Now that's nice. Is it going to darken with time (like a Bisonte briefcase)?

 

[pipvh]

Pretty nice stuff. I like the Navy jackets a lot, but they definitely are pumped up. I think I'd save some money (!) and go with a Goodwear. The Few M-422A would be an event, but a GW would, I reckon, be more or less original NOS.

Still, I mustn't mope. All theoretical at this point, anyway...
