Hi all

I tried to post on the forum last night but unfortuneately it would upload. so lets hope this time it does!!

I'm Mick, live in Colchester, Essex, & have a keen interest in Irvin Flying Jackets.

Hi, i'm looking for some help to identify & evaluate what i believe to be a ww2 flying jacket.

It has what i believe to be heating wires in the sleeves with a 2 prong plug about 6 inches up the sleeve with a heavy duty press stud below it about 2 inches up the sleeve.

It has 8 vent holes under each arm.

The zips have DOT on them with MADE IN ENGLAND around it in a circular manner.

On the label is..... The Crown with A.M. underneath it. Running beside the crown is the letters B.81864/40/C.I.D. With a small stitched in label (approx 5mm square) with a red 6. on it. The red 6 is larger than all the other numbers & the same size as the A.M.

What exactly is the significance of the numbers?

Many thanks in advance.

Mick.
