Irvin Original Mens Leather Flying Jacket

There is only one true Irvin and this is it. Aviation Leathercraft own the Irvin trademark and manufacture this genuine jacket here in the U.K. An Irvin label within each jacket confirms its authenticity. Flightstore operate as the northern outlet for Irvin and our physical store has a range of styles and sizes for you to browse and try on. Most orders will be supplied bespoke and will take 1-2 weeks to be dispatched.

When those of us that were once small boys ran around, arms extended, making aircraft engine noises, this is the jacket we would have worn. In our mind’s eye, this jacket was synonymous with heroic derring-do. If there is one item of apparel that sums up all that is best about the brave British tradition of mastery of the skies, this is it.

Of course, the Irvin Original Sheepskin Flying Jacket is practical: it’s made from first-rate, hard-wearing materials and it’s made with the same pedantic attention to detail demonstrated by its creator. It will last you virtually forever, (but it will wear to a suede-like surface over time and more quickly if in contact with solvents), but it’s not just about practical stuff - the Irvin jacket is a legend, it’s part of a story, it has its place in our history and as much as anything else owning a genuine Irvin just feels right. You put it on and there’s no question that you’re part of something special.

This jacket includes the exclusive Irvin label.

Important Information
All sheepskin garments with a 'leather look' have a sprayed on finish. This is true of every brand available on the market, and the finish will wear to a suede-like appearance over time. This finish is colourfast under normal circumstances. However, certain solvents on hands or surfaces can slightly damage the dark brown finish in a way that the colour could run. These solvents include: Leather seat treatments, hand creams, perfumes, aftershave, airbourne sprays containing solvent, petrol, oils, etc.

Sheepskin:
The Irvin Original is available in 36" to 48" only. Size 36 is available in only 15mm wool (because of the small size). 38" to 48" is available in 22mm wool. Sheepskin is a natural product, they do have spots in the fur, some grain marks and the leather can be naturally ribbed with lines. 
PLEASE BE AWARE: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE 'PERFECT' SHEEPSKIN.

Jackets are cut either 'regular' or 'long'. Please note: LONG does not mean a longer jacket it generally is only applicable to clients who are over 6 foot (183cms) Our 'long' cut sizes provide additional length on sleeve and back lengths for our taller clients only.
