Thanks, that sure is the jacket. I had never seen one like this by Grais. So much like the HD Cycle Champ makes me think they made those jackets for HD, some one did. That Not Pocket D pocket stands out. The spots too, though different sizes in the same places.

This one is particularly nice looking. Hard jacket to not notice.

Ive been hunting for a jacket with the no-pocket D pocket for years. Can never find one in my size or the asking price is too much for me. Definitely a style that is hard to miss and harder to not appreciate.

I was thinking of you. Have you ever seen a Grais like this? Pretty darn cool!

I’ve seen a few online. When for sale they normally are way too small for me. And they always look like they have serious taper. So even if I thought I could force fit into a smaller P2P, the bottom hem measurement quashes the idea. When I think Grais, I think of this jacket. Very cool.

Ok, you have seen this in the Wild. I know the too small story. I just got this Sportclad. Another one just showed up on ebay! I think it is the same size as this one.

I think my Sportclad is the only one I’ve seen with a 24” P2P. Usually just a tad small for me too. It also has the blackened brass hardware and the button throat latch. I love these jackets. If I find one in the condition of your first one I would probably buy another one.

I'm going to do a post on the two I have. These Star Sportswear/Kuland jackets have a special place here on the Lounge
