I’m at the point where I’m considering trading my Aces High Irvin for one of those or for an Eastman BoB Irvin. Size 44

Burt knows. Your jacket is definitely desired.

I love it. It’s the fourth one Jon made. It’s just that I feel the itch to switch things up.

 

[bseal]

Totally. And it’s right there in your avatar, tormenting us poor bastards who didn’t pony up when he kindly offered to custom make one.

John - your ELC looks great. Is this their latest offering? anything special? I am currently emailing back/fourth with Shawn at 5 Star about an Irvin, taking advantage of their sale. My issue of course is how much wear an Irvin will get from me. Last few jackets, not so much. Hard for me to justify an ELC however, if I am not 10000% happy, kind of defeats the purpose.

And who is actually 10000% on anything?

This was made in Dec 2023. The fleece is as good as Fenland, I love it.

John - you are certainly someone who has owned many fleeces! !! I was considering an ELC 50.Cal as well. All so pricey

Nah don't go there, they wash them and ruin them.

John - what type is yours? did you have it custom made for you? or is it an off the rack model?

Right. How did that jacket wind up looking perfectly used
