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?

I don't have it yet. I also have an Aero hair-on-hide Grizzly...it's top-notch.

I'll be selling one of them in the fall Matty...I don't really need two. Have to see which one fits me better first. They (the Aero & LW) are both bad-ass; will be a hard decision.

If Matty doesn't take you up on your offer, if it's the LW you sell, if it's a size 38/40 & if I have the money at the time I be very pleased to be considered as next in line to become the jacket's new owner :D

My new size 46 AERO Grizzly is for sale, if anyone is interested. See the posting in the classifieds section. I've put on weight and the Lost Worlds one I recently got fits better as it's a size 48...

Grizzly custom?

Hello Feraud..amazing jacket. Is it yours? Do you know who I could go to if
I wanted to ask them to make a reproduction of this jacket? I wasn't that into Grizzly's but I've seen the light and its beautiful. The horsehide ( assuming it is) has a beautiful lustre to it. Do you know if there are guys in Japan maybe ( saw the pics of 'Lakeslamb' ) who would maybe tweak a pattern here and there to make one? I like the versions without waist belt. Any ideas would very welcome. Cheerio.

Hi Feraud

I was wondering if there might be a chance to see more photos of this stunning jacket. I've been thinking about this jacket for over a week now ( a long time to be fixated on it but it's that beautiful) I'm drawing up plans/specs for a custom Grizzly just like this, and I wanted to ask if you had any close up shots of the jacket re: close up of lining, labels, cuffs and pocket details. I'm very intrigued by the lining and collar set-up and how the slash pockets are made. Please, if this message somehow makes it your way, I'd love to see more of this jacket. Cheerio, martin.

I don't think that jacket belongs to Feraud. The label looks like a prety standard Laskinlamb, a bit like this one:

thanks for the info Mr Kurtz...so does that mean its a 'repro' Laskinlamb? or original? The japanese makers are so brilliant at their copies i'm not sure. I have a dream to have a custom Grizzly made, and i've drafted specs and drawings, but don't know who to contact. I'm not a great fan of Aero ( heresy I know) but the japanese are notoriously hard to contact and even when you do it goes no where....so where do I go? i'm almost tempted to ask the lovely John Chapman at Good Wear, but he'd probably have an anurism, if i asked him...not that he couldn't do it obviuosly... maybe Aero is the only option? any ideas? many thanks

yep, saw that earlier today..but way too scared to have another look at the link. I can understand them wanting that kind of money, given the pedigree and rarity etc., but you get one and half Aero's for the same investment.

but if you or anyone knows who i could go to? cheerio

Thanks to both of you for the suggestions. Think I'll contact Amanda at Aero...and yes i'm guessing a custom job will put me in the poor house (or my partner will) :) cheerio, m.
