Hi guys,
I thought it might be good to show a few comparison photos of one of my Irvin jackets next to an original. The original is dated 1943, and isn't the jacket I used to make the pattern (that jacket was from 1941), but I think it works well for a general comparison.
Also, here are a couple of photos of mine next to an Eastman jacket, plus a comparison of sleeves (Eastman, original, mine).
I know that there's such a lot of variation when it comes to original Irvins, and other repros, but hopefully this is interesting.
Cheers,
Jon
