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 ******** 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...

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

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

 

[flat-top]

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.
