WW2 RAF Irvin sheepskin flying jacket. A nice early pattern Irvin sheepskin flying jacket. This was originally a wired sheepskin jacket, used with matching trousers and the heated RAE gloves and boots. This jacket has been updated later in the war with the cables removed leaving behind a good usable jacket. This Irvin was made by Wareing and Co in 1939-40. It is an electrically wired jacket, with the remains of the loom still present. The jacket itself was not heated but it contained the wiring loom to heat the gloves. It was refurbished in 1945 under the 40288 contract which was specifically for repairing Irvins. The two panel back and front construction and the use of single trunnion Dot zips dates the jacket to the early War. Wired jackets were no longer made after 1941/2 and often the wiring was removed and the leather housings left, as is the case with this jacket. The 40288 refurbishment contract, which was awarded first in 1943. The jacket itself has all original zips in good working order. No major holes, damage etc but the cuffs appear to have been removed and some tidying up would improve the appearance. The sheepskin still retaining good colour and stength. The original belt is fitted and in good condition too. The jacket is a relatively small size, the chest physically measuring 22 inches from armpit to armpit. Due to the thick sheepskin it’s more likely to fit around a 40 inch chest comfortably. The jacket is labelled but with no size indicated, dated 1945. The label is anew label to the jacket due to it being updated and repaired later in the war. Overall a good service used jacket, Ideal for completing a RAF bomber aircrew display. Becoming harder to find now in such lovely condition. Ideal for a ww2 RAF musuem aircrew display, RAF collection or reinactor display. If you have any further questions please ask and I’ll try and help. The item “Ww2 RAF Irvin sheepskin flying jacket” is in sale since Tuesday, December 7, 2021.

Up for sale from my collection is this superb 1939-40 RAF Irvin Flying jacket in a size 6. It was issued to Pilot Officer John Christopher Willans Goldthorpe in the Summer of 1940. He was born in 1919 and attended Marlborough College, joining the O. C and in 1939 the R. As a 2nd Lt. On 16th July 1940 he was a pilot officer in the RAF in No. 225 Squadron, promoted to Flight lieutenant on 18th May 1941 and acting Wing Commander in 1944 when he was awarded a DFC. From the summer of 1940 he flew Lysanders. Equipped with Lysanders, No. The squadron was allocated to the North African invasion force providing tactical reconnaissance support for the 1st Army throughout the Tunisian campaign, No. 225 re-equipped with Spitfires and moved to Sicily in August 1943. In 1943 he joined 40 SAAF Squadron in the Middle East flying Spitfires on photo and tactical reconnaisance. He also flew with 318 Polish Squadron and 225 Squadron. He was awarded the DFC, was Mentioned in Despatches twice and received the Polish Virtuti Militari. His two panel Irvin is in overall very good condition. The chestnut coloured skin is supple and complete with no flaking or damage or repairs. Stitching is original and secure. The very rare Dot Deco zips work smoothly with no missing teeth. Their leather zip pulls are all original. They all have the sought-after herringbone zip tracks. The jacket has its original elastic collar strap for keeping the collar in a prone position. The jacket retains its hanging chain made by Wilkinson Sword. The close-pile fleece is not worn at the cuffs, collar, windflap or hem. The right back panel has suffered from moths and the fleece has been extensively repaired. There is no sign of any infestation now. Apart from a few small areas of repaired damage the fleece is in tact and is quite wearable. Measurements with the Irvin zipped up and laid flat on the floor. Armpit to armpit: 24.5. Front (along the windflap) 23. Across the shoulders: 22. Down the back (from base of collar to hem):25. Sleeves (from shoulder to end of cuff):25.
