While trawling through the internet for jackets on my work break, I came across this...not-Irvin claiming to be an Irvin.

Original Vintage WW2 RAF Royal Air Force British Shearling sheepskin Leather flight pilot bomber coat jacket 42 Large

Here is a rare example of an Original RAF flight jacket. it is in surprisingly good shape. The jacket has no rips, tears, holes or repairs. It is still very wearable. The sheepskin is a tiny bit dry, but can easily be conditioned. I can send you as many pictures as you need. just contact me if you

Not interested in buying it, of course, but I’m curious what you all think. Is it trying to be a civilian version of an Irvin? Is it a completely unrelated shearling jacket? When might it be from? I’ve seen a lot of A-2 style civilian jackets, but not many...

In order to shorten the waiting time for my Aero, I now read all possible posts about leather jackets and stumbled of the nice thread <https://www.vintageleatherjackets.org/threads/amelia-earhart-flight-jacket-reproduction-the-aviatrix.19470/> from Skyhawk (thanks for that) and thought, why not try something like that?
Since I also came across @Shawn Ali from FivestarLeather in this forum, I simply asked if he could make me a jacket like this. This should sweeten...

Hello leather folks!

I will be in Ho Chi Min city from January 12th next month, and If I have enough time I would like to go to visit the Vietnam war museum ( I remember someone here posted pics about not long ago ) and if there's chance to find some old vintage leather stuff.
Any idea or suggestions, markets, or any area where to look for?

thanks

item# 193308733161 it has minor issues that can be dealt with, but the monarch a-2s are pretty hard to come by. this one is tagged a size 42, if one is considering it as a wearer, i strongly suggest that you get specific measurements from the seller, as monarch sizing is notoriously all over the place. happy hunting.

I recently bought a surplus alpha industries cold weather CVC jacket from 1996 as a collectible. I was wandering what sort of patches would go on it to match the time period because I lack the knowledge. This jacket isn’t meant for me to wear outside it is mearly a collectible since I have no military service.

G-1 Information

This information is from Roger Moore's old web site.

1950s G-1 Jackets




As noted above the first G-1 spec was the 55J14 which was manufactured from 1947 to 1961. These jackets very collectible and only slightly less desireable than the earlier M-422A jackets. The 55J14 typically have shorter bodies than the M-422A and many have a snugger fit for their stated size. All of these jackets retain the painted "USN" stencil under the mouton collar...

Here, I'll start with my bonneville. Jacket is a Hein Gericke Dakar. It's from the 80s-90s if you consider that vintage. :p

Its 4 pocket front and shoulder/elbow reinforcements remind me of the Trialmaster except it's leather.








Here's another pic of the bonnie. It's a 60 rwhp fury! :lol:

L-2A with collar?
This is a luftwaffe photo from 1956.
When blown up you can see the collar appears to be part of the jacket, but I can't see a webbing patch that should be on the left hand side of the zipper.
