Resortes,
I would wear it Proudly !
Killer Jacket you got !

mihai, Bro sounds like Drama all the BS you went through.
shoulda just went Aero ! theres a Fuzzier one made by Himel Bros...

 

[resortes805]

Thanks, Che!

I usually wear my grizzly with a dress shirt and tie, just like the Sears catalog illustrations!

I wish all the expressed disdain for grizzly jackets translated into cheaper prices on the vintage market.......

My Tailor does the same thing hardcore workwear with vintage tie...

No not a grizzly but just a Tie & HH workwear shot.....but my coat collar is real sheepskin.....
I had him reline that HH jacket in Alpaca & vintage Cordoury...
I went to pick it up & he's wearin it & said to me, I have too many HH jackets sell me this jacket!....it Just was perfect for him....
Gotta take care of him.....He cosigned so many HH for me. & its a cool look.
Me im just gonna button up & thats it if i have a shirt under a work garment....
Boy that was 23 lbs ago i bet the coat i have on fits now...& i could tuck in that old shirt too.

OK back to topic
heres a Cheepie Stinky in a good size http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vtg-19...pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item460a466926 This will be intresting to follow.
& here's a older version for a silly price,, This King-o-Fur was probably the earliest Grizzly Type made.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-193...pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item43b60811c0
Notice the wool lining & Codouroy collar strip. Cool Huh !
I have seen these with the throat latch thingy under the collars maybe this was a older jacket or cut off?
Also notice the types of hair the Older type had longer Hair more Grizzly looking & the Later types had Mouton ....

Here ya go Resortes,

 

[resortes805]

That King-o-Fur is nuts! I prefer mouton, but the shaggy ones are killer as well.

That is comparatively tasteful. I think less-is-more when it comes to a grizzly. I bet horses think that too...

 

[58panheadfan]

Not everyone's taste, but it was a long time on my wishlist...

Warehouse Company x Heller's Cafe;

HC-053 Sheepskin & Horsehide 'Grizzly' Sports Jacket

Also check out Rin Tanaka's Book Motorcycle Jackets "A Century of Leather Design", page 37

Great look. Ive never seen one worn in public. The Lost Worlds do an amazing looking horse hide with cow hair panels...
Sexy as hell....and quite wearable..its in the same section they advertise the grizzly...

I wore mine last winter for the first time and oddly, I didn't get a second glance.

I don't understand how that was ever out of style.

Nathan, your display of irony is a joy to behold...

I really don't. I love it.
