Oh boy!The Baloo is what pulled me in a few years ago. I bought one during some holiday sale. I’m 6’1.5”, and the size 42 fit me really well. That said, I didn’t care for the matte black leather treatment—it looked like it was painted on with my kids’ water colors. There was no depth whatsoever. The mouton looked like a hastily done grown-out hair dye treatment, too. All in all, I thought it paled in person in comparison to how it’s photographed, so I sold it. It didn’t help either that I could barely squeeze my hands, which are not huge by any means, into the pockets.
I’ve since commissioned a beautiful russet Badalassi/cream mouton grizzly from Aero. I need to get some photos posted. @ton, I suspect you could live in a grizzly during those Chicago winters.
sounds like I dodged a bullet on this one…
I would love to see some photos of your Aero grizzly when you get a chance.
