"The Grizzly"

[Creeping Past]

Nice Grizzly in this pic

Those are 2 sharp-looking fellows. Do you know the provenance of this photo?

I particularly like the chap on the right's homemade turn-ups [cuffs] and scarf. I do that with a couple of my heavier suits in winter, although I haven't yet got round to wearing flash boots with them...

 

[Baron Kurtz]

No, I have no provenance. I can't remember even what i was searching for, but it popped up in google images … probably a generic "1930s leather jacket" search.

Beautiful picture, Baron. There's something about those two, their sense of style goes beyond what they're wearing.

I've noticed something lately. Do you see how the Grizz's fur goes all the way to the built-in belt line? Aero's doesn't seem to do this:

While on the other hand Lost World's does:

Incredibly Hot Grizzly Jacket!

I have 4 Grizzly jackets (2 originals & 2 repros) but the one with the white mouton fur is a killer look. Would love to be able to purchase that one at some point. Hope joining this site will afford me that opportunity someday. Newbie here!

Not bragging about what I have, as I've been a collector for a long time. Once again, I thought I had to have at least 15 postings before I'm allowed to post photos. If not, let me know and I'll be more than happy to post them.

How about posting some pics of your Grizzlies?

Only 4? Why each of us has at least a dozen or so....wah, wah, wahhhhhhh

Geez, give me a break guy!

Hey guy! Don't I need 15 posts before I will be allowed to post lots of my treasures? If not, let me know and I will definitely post them. I'm not bragging about anything I don't have, so cut me some slack. Not to be too overstated, but I have enough men's vintage jackets, hats, gloves, suits, shoes, etc. to stock a complete vintage store. Get it! It's called being a long time collector. I'm old!

Nope, just a photobucket (or other external hosting) account.

Turn down the sensitivity meter...just kidding pal!

 

[Mr. 'H']

Thanks Alden.

Notice how the only guy who's hatless is a kid wearing a pretty cool grizzly?

lol When I wrote "Grizzly" the French film noir "Touchez Pas au Grisbi" came to mind: sounds similar.

Huge price reduction on these Japanese-made repro Lakeland Grizzlies...if you take a small size (doubtful, I know), it's a pretty good deal:

A few more here at regular prices:

And here's a real one for about USD$2000:

What a fantastic thread! I had never heard of a "grizzly" until I joined this site. To all you owners of this style jacket, it's definitely a beautiful jacket... wear and enjoy it in good health!

If Only

They had 40s at this price. A jacket I've long wanted but unable to justify the pre-sale price

A good friend of mine just sold his LostWorlds horsehide grizzley for $500 - worn just a few times.

I saw these just the other day in my office. These are my EXACT measurements. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the brown one.

Hmmm...I wonder who got it?

 

[jon z]

You, I'm guessing?

 

[DoubleXX]

You, I'm guessing?

I couldn't resist at that price.

 

[marineabilly]

You will NOT be disappointed!! I tried it on and although it didn't fit me, I was in awe.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFox]

I couldn't resist at that price.

That was a great buy! I've been checking out that jacket at Lost Worlds' website for a long time but the price is a little steep for me.

How do you find the overall fit of the jacket?
