I'm sorry for the quality, pictures are from the seller

Well if your looking for a warm jacket this one will work ,if you are looking for authenticity Avirex does not do well in that area .These guys are in the Shopping Mall stores with features on the jacket to suit every one . Large fit Blousey side entry pockets and on and on . Are you in France ? .

The new owner of the Avirex brand in the United States is Eckō Unltd this was 2006.

Jeff Clyman founded a new company for military apparel called Cockpit USA.

No, the label isnt the same, there is no collar and the seams are not the same, i think this is an old pattern or a fake.. what do you think ?

 

[Bombing IP]

What are you looking for ? . Avirex was not a military clothing contractor during WW2 . Are you looking for an RAF shearling jacket ,then I could recommend other companies . No one makes fakes of Avirex jackets because they are not worthy in the first place ,save your money for something better . If you do your research you will see that there are better more accurate representations out there . Hope this helps ,but you need to do research which is something that Avirex have never done !.

ie punch in VLJ search box IRVIN JACKET and start from there .

Good Luck
BIP out

I just wanted a sheepskin jacket and i found this jacket, sold as a AVIREX RAF USA, but i have doubt because the label isnt the original. Then i'm afraid of a fake with bad leather.
Is this possible ? And this is from Uruguay, not usa but it's writed avirex
Thank you for the answer
