Interest Tom Hardy's flight coat from Dunkirk

Seeing if there would be interest in this. To be honest I'd have to put some more work into the research of what exactly he was wearing but while I was watching it I thought it'd be sweet. Obviously it's a WWII styled shearling bomber jacket, I just have to figure out what design it seems most exactly to be.

$500 plus shipping. I'd need at least 10 people in on it for the run.

Looks like a replica of the Irvin jacket worn by the RAF.

There's several varieties, and I have yet to find one that seems to match on both the sleeves and the rounded collar.

Agreed, I've never seen one quite like the jacket Hardy is wearing. I've seen pictures of a few early Irvins (Battle of Britain era) with the round collar but the seam taping looks wrong and the texture certainly doesn't match any Irvin I've ever seen pictures of.

The fleece itself seems too thin for an Irvin. One of the reasons the jacket was coveted by US airmen was the fact that the Irvin was so much warmer than the B3 - thicker fleece (as well as more adequate protection of the neck when zipped up).
