It really restricted movment; wear one and this is clear. It's uncomfortable in a seating position, and the collar is a bitch.
It's a great winter jacket, and great if worn in a bomber, but for a fighter pilot it's an annoyance.
Winter was a period when many RAF pilots wore them, but even then they preferred to layer up...

did all irvins have the same collars?
