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...
This killer 1930s-style AERO hair-on-hide Grizzly horsehide jacket was purchased new earlier this year and has never been worn (outside of the house). Size 46. Lists for $975:

I was going to bid on this jkt as well....black argyles are among the rarest of the rare 50s gab jkt's. However, this one was a bit too short for me. $1100 is a bit steep, but it would easily go for double that in Japan.
