Hey Everyone,

I'm selling my 50s Grais cross-zip. Its honestly perfect but I just don't seem to wear it and it deserves to be worn and shown off.

It's a thick, grainy in a good way steerhide. It was a black but as you can see the wear coming through it has a brown base. It has wear and grain for days but no holes, tears, rips; the hide is in amazing shape. The liner is in even better shape. Its old, it has a few stains and is showing its age no doubt about that. Yet no holes, tears, stitching coming out or piling. It's quite amazing it's in as good of shape as it is considering its age and the fact it's clearly been worn.

All the zippers work perfectly, no catches or hitches in the pull. All the buttons and snaps work 100%. The epaulets and the attachments are in perfect working order, nothing coming loose or torn. Belt is attached and in good working order, no issues with it other than wear.

Measurements are included with the plethora of photos I've attached. Considering its age, condition, make and model I am asking 500. Grais is such an underrated brand. They have some what we would call mall brand models and some masterpieces. This clearly isn't the 800-1,300 dollar range Grais...it's just a tank and a beauty.

As for me I am a long time member who used to post constantly; I have just had life get in the way the last couple years. But several people here can vouch for me being legit and honest. No scammer or embellishing what I have.

Can do paypal or venmo. Can take more photos if wanted, answer any questions I can.

Edit: I wanted to add the zipper hang says "Grais Sets The Pace." I havent seen that before this jacket, no idea if it was around when the jacket came out, before, after. So cant give you a date on that piece. Though it is just an additional really cool part of the package.

Thanks! I got married, got a dog, got a mortgage, and dealing with a ton of health issues. Not to scare anyone its not life threatening stuff. But expensive and time consuming stuff. Hope the usual crew is still around and everyone is doing well. Looks like I got a bunch of likes on the post hoping for a few actual buyers though. My issue is I am a tiny guy and my jackets are also small. Gotta find someone else just as small!

@dannyk -- good to see you back and thanks for updating on some of those "life details." This is what makes this forum great! Thoughts & prayers for your health - so very important.

Can't help with the jacket this size but there are others here who can.

Yup! A few people from TFL have been added as friends on social media, and a few I would call honest and true real friends even. TFL is a family of vintage weirdos and geeks and wouldnt change that at all. Hopefully some of my health stuff clears up and allows me more time and money to put into this hobby and Ill be back around more often. Its definitely the place to be.

Alright, I know sizing is the main issue here as I am very small, and this would be better suited for ebay or grailed....which I am going to put up there sometime this week when I have a minute to create listings for that.

In the meantime I just really need some of my stuff out of the house as we are cleaning and doing some work. Ill probably put this up on ebay for 500 or best offer.......If anyone wants to take a risk if they are iffy on sizing for my friends here on TFL Ill do like 350 give or take. PM me Im sure we can work something out. I prefer to sell here where its easiest amongst friends. Hope all had a pleasant holiday season however you celebrate; and lets start off the new year with a new jacket for you!
