It's an Irvine apparently! (well, you do see it spelled that way occasionally)
A snip at £1592. Imagine leaving that on the train on a Friday night. But it'd probably still be there on Monday morning.............
Very cruel !
it does look less than convincing, and why the Talon zip ?

I'd agree with your earlier comment John, they do themselves no favours with the photography. Everything looks plasticky to me -
at the prices they're charging you'd think they'd want to showcase their products in a better way. But there's two knowledgeable people here, namely yourself and Deeb who rate these jackets so I know things must be far far better than they appear in the photos. I still wouldn't pay those prices though!
Good point, and it ties in with the original vs. repro thread. It's what people think they looked like that matters if you are selling a dream.havocpaul said:yes, a truly terrible Irvin, makes me want to go on a picnic! They are priced and made for the Japanese fashion market IMO, very well made but not always a true representation of the real jacket.
