There's only one Irvin RAF Sheepskin
Flying Jacket!
And we're the only people in the world making the real thing.
I'm a qualified and keen pilot and in 1977 I decided I wanted a real
flying jacket. You know, a proper one. One like those you saw in the
films and in the faded photographs of our heroic WWII pilots. I
discovered that the jacket I sought, the one that small boys dream
of as they leap from the top of the wardrobe (a wardrobe which was
of course doubling as a Spitfire), was the Irvin RAF Sheepskin
Flying Jacket.
So, I did my research and made one (you can read more about that
in The Irvin story). I loved it. It was warm, comfortable, ideal for
flying and I must admit; wearing it felt rather good. Other people
liked my jacket too and it wasn't long before we were asked to make
some more. We began to accept orders and Aviation Leathercraft was
born.
It seemed to work out well. Supplies of war issue flying jackets
were diminishing, yet demand for the jackets was high. We became
very busy and our craftsmen did a grand job in meeting the demand
for high-quality hand-made jackets. Then as now our jackets were
popular with pilots, motoring enthusiasts, bikers and people who
just wanted a great jacket for everyday use.
We're part of Moto-Lita, makers of the finest hand-made British
steering wheels.
