WW2 British RAF Irvine Trousers

A nice original pair of RAF Irvin Suit flying trousers in very good condition.
This pattern of trouser was introduced into service with the RAF In 1938 and intended to be worn with the matching jacket. Officially designated 'Thermally Insulated Flying Suit, Trousers' this pattern saw extensive use with Bomber Command throughout the Second World War but were also used by Fighter Command and Coastal.
The trousers are made from the standard sheepskin leather which features a waterproof coating to the exterior. The original braces are still present and the chrome plated metal buckles are still bright. Two pockets are located at each thigh and fasten with their original Newey press studs. A fly can be found to the front and pocket openings are present to the hip .
Full length 'Lightning' & crowned 'AM' ( Air Ministry ) marked zips run the full length of the trousers and are totally factory original to this pair. They are both fully functional.
Inside the trousers the original label is still present and bears the size of 2 which is designed to fit a 30" - 32" waist and a 30" leg.
