Came across this site who seem to be significantly cheaper than the originals and other copies:

Anyone bought one of these?

Not a bad price until you get to the soft lambskin one, bottom right then it pushes to £375.
I guess you get what you pay for and it makes me wonder what the cheaper ones are like in the flesh so to speak.

Just got a (genuine) US Air Force Nomex flight jacket, not as flash as a leather one and not something for casual wear with the Velcro name patch, pen holder and being rather short in the body but very functional, particularly in a small cockpit, and fire resistant. Don’t think you can do better at £150.

The genuine Irvin ones are £430, so you're saving £55... I think I might take the plunge and buy the better ones as it's not something I'm likely to sell so paying the extra for an original might not be worth it.

Another vote for Cirrus! I love my jacket.
