AN ORIGINAL R.A.F. (IRVIN) FLYING JACKET
(Rare and sought after early two back panel, darker brown wool type)
c,1940-41.
The jacket is a real "dusty" sleeper that we bought some years ago at a boot sale ! ...No damage and all zips are working (all are DOT Made in England originals with leather pulls) and a little stiff. This is a scarce LARGE size example which measures roughly 22"- 23" across the back arm pit to arm pit . Should fit a 40" chest. The jacket is 27" from top of collar to hem. Basically a nice clean original jacket which would benefit from some leather feeding. Jacket has its original black strap behind and under the collar .....so it's totally complete
(SOLD)
