Please note that although this jacket appears to have been barely worn, it is an older jacket and does have a few flaws.
There is a flaw on an area on the shearling on the edge of the back side of the collar that is discolored. It looks as if it could be discolored by sun damage. I did some research and discovered that dying shearling is something that can be done, so this can be corrected. It would probably be best to have this discolored area corrected by a professional.
Please see the final photos for a visual of this discolored area. It is on one side of the collar, on the edge area and measures approximately 12 inches long.
The only wear that I see in the leather is a small spot on the left sleeve, right near the elbow about an inch long where the leather has some minor wear or discoloration. It is very hard to see, and not very noticeable in my opinion, but could probably be covered up with a bit of matching leather polish. Please see the last photographs for a visual on this.
This is an extremely well made jacket that should last for a very very long time.
The inside label says: Size 46, 112, Irvin RAF Sheepskin Flying Jacket Made under exclusive licence from Irvin G.B. LTD. (Formerly Irving Airchute of GT. Britain LTD.) By Aviation Leathercraft (Simon Green MFG. LTD) Thruxton Airport Andover Hants SP11 8PW England Tel: Weyhill (026477) 2811 Telex 47178 Wheels G. There is a second label that says: Made Exclusively for British Isles Collection, Made in United Kingdom.
Overall, this jacket is in excellent condition, other than the discolored shearling area and the small spot of wear on the leather of one sleeve.
I see no cracking and little wear on the leather. The leather has a beautiful sheen to it, and the jacket is all one color of leather.
Please note that this is an extremely heavy jacket. The shearling is very thick.
The zipper pulls are marked riri. These are considered to be a superior brand of zipper.
This jacket has no pockets.
The belt starts at the side seams of the jacket. It does not go around to the back of the jacket.
The jacket has underarm vents.
The sleeves have zippers on them that measure approximately 9 inches long.
The approximate measurements of this jacket are as follows: Across the back underarm to underarm approximately 24 inches. Length of sleeve as measured from the center shoulder seam at the center arm down to the hem is approximately 25 inches. The sleeves do curve out for the elbow area, however the measurement that I took is straight down from the where the shoulder seam meets the sleeve. The length of the jacket at the center back from where the collar starts down to the hemline is approximately 25.5 inches long.
This jacket will be mailed out priority mail, insured, with signature delivery confirmation.
