great jacket ownt it now for thwo years. its a little on the light side but thats not a problem at all when youre not actually flying a airplane. the belt is the only downside it has not nearly enouigh holes to close the draft and the buckle shatered after a week or two

RAF Irvin Flight Jacket
(2023-01-03)
Really was impressed with this jacket. As an aviation historian, I was impressed how much it looks just like the ones worn by the RAF in WWII. All the features seemed to match up with my books/photos on the RAF and Battle of Britain. Unfortunately, the belt shattered when using it. But WPG will make good on it, that's what counts. Better than Eastman's or Cockpit's offering at nearly 1/4 the price!

Well worth the money

I had a WPG Irvin in the early 2000's and found it tight and the sleeves way too long,so I gave it to my brother. This new run is great in the fit and finish. I ordered a size 46 and couldn't be happier. Now I'm 5'5" 190. Which is important information for anyone thinking of buying one.
