THE WINNER OF THE VLJ JACKET HALL OF FAME COMPETITION IS…..!!

[Micawber]

37 votes from a membership of over 1000 is very low.
Sadly those who voted are the only ones keeping this place alive.

Unfortunately that is the usual situation for most online forums. Even those with tens of thousands of people registered might only have less than a hundred active contributors.

The above based on my personal experience administrating and moderating over quite a few years.

Don’t speak badly of Mr. lever … He just passed on one of his prized and treasured Irvin’s to me

And... *when* will you wear this?

Well…… Now you know that’s not the point
It’s “he who dies with the most jackets”…… “Ohhh you KNOW The Deal “ ( to quote a phrase taken from our President)

 

[John Lever]

I would never EVER have sold that jacket but for my new rule
' only 1 jacket for each version '
Still have 2 Anj4's but one must go.

But, but... you've already cleaned your closet of other shearling!

It's just the idea of the Irvin, isn't it? C'mon, you can level with us.

 

[John Lever]

His first Irvin is probably the best one on the planet

 

[Grant]

Nope, the one you sold me is the best on the planet! ;-)

I think at the very least Burt if this is the best Irvin on the planet we need to see the fit pics.

Just so we can be properly jealous appreciative of your good fortune of course

That'll be an excellent comparison Burt. And twice the appreciation too

I have an idea Phil… it will take a day or two but I think it might attract some interest.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

As we seem to be about to have a cold week here I’ve dug my Aero Late War out for a last hurrah so you’ve got my attention
