I've been reluctant to say anything about Grais. Seems it the same experience others have had. My first leather jacket was a brand new Grais, car coat buttoned in brown with zip out lining. Bought it in 1967 for $40, Cabretta leather.
Like you all mentioned, some of them look really good, others not so. This is an example of making products for a price. There was less quality leather out there given the huge amount of leather that was tanned.
The jacket pictured above is c.1960
My grais is from the 50s, thread here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/50s-grais-horsehide-lining-restored.101998/
Very good quality hide with great patina, nearly everytime I wear it someone says "wow, that's a nice jacket!"

Picked this Langlitz up today. Too small for me but very interesting design. Kind of a Death's Head straight zip thing going on. Just too cool to pass on for the price.
Nice looking Walter Dyer at $125, size 48 https://poshmark.com/listing/Walter-Dyer-is-Leather-Black-Motorcycle-Jacket-5f3da113163df420b948dbc6
Yeah, I'd want to see the measuring.This is a great jacket!
But it’s more like a 40.
