I think that structurally it hold on better being made of the same material. Tensions/forces would be more evenly distributed. Plus it would look more consistent instead of creasing/folding easily in sheepskin areas.
However, I knew how good this jacket looked on its first owner @torfjord and since we're roughly the same height I guessed the measurements should be fine for me as well.
I can't explain why but back when I saw a Grizzly jacket for the first time (which was here on the lounge) my first thoughts were "that's a peculiar style", immediately followed by "I want one".
This Aero Grizzly, bought from a fellow lounger, was made by Julie Leitch in the summer of 2019 and it's pretty much flawless in terms of construction. It looks heavier than it is, weighing just over 2 kg. It's made from seal Vicenza horsehide with dark brown shearling panels and features an Alpaca lining and brass hardware.

Like @Carlos840 Grizzly this one is also tagged size 40.
25.2' ptp
19.7' shoulder width
23.2' back length
19.7' bottom hem
I usually wear my jackets with a 22' ptp and 18' shoulder so the measurements on this one looked quite off. Also, a 23' back length is really short, even for my standards

I'm very pleased with the fit. I love the blousing effect that is created by the huge drop in combination with the short length. I think the short length goes great with the style as worn back in the 30s.

I absolutely love it. I think it looks badass and I really don't understand why people think this style is 'too much' or 'out-there'.
Anyway, my gf thinks it's too much. I guess she just has to deal with it

I wore it to the grocery store and also when I went for a walk through the park this afternoon. I was indeed expecting weird looks but actually, I got none. I guess most people really don't notice what others are wearing and if they do notice they simply don't care. Anyhow, I don't care what others think

@Carlos840 Have you worn yours outside in the wild yet since you wrote this review?
I never bought new custom from Aero but I just checked their website and it seems you can choose between deadstock talon or hoockless zippers. Why do people choose hoockless if they all break sooner or later?Here was my Aero grizzly that I sold a while ago

Shortly after taking this picture I remember busting the hookless
What's holding you back?
