Hi guys,
Repro Irvin jacket number two is now finished!
I'm really happy with how it's turned out. This jacket is a huge leap forward from jacket number one, and feels a lot more professional.
There were a few issues with the first test jacket, mainly to do with seam tapes and wonky stitching, which I've ironed out on this jacket. Overall, the construction is much better, and I'm really happy with the stitching - there are still a few bits where it's not so neat, but that's true of most original Irvins!
I riveted the leather hanging strap this time, as I think it's a more secure way of fastening it.
Anyway, here are some pics.
Cheers,
Jon
