Nice Grizzly in this pic

Those are 2 sharp-looking fellows. Do you know the provenance of this photo?

I particularly like the chap on the right's homemade turn-ups [cuffs] and scarf. I do that with a couple of my heavier suits in winter, although I haven't yet got round to wearing flash boots with them...

Incredibly Hot Grizzly Jacket!

I have 4 Grizzly jackets (2 originals & 2 repros) but the one with the white mouton fur is a killer look. Would love to be able to purchase that one at some point. Hope joining this site will afford me that opportunity someday. Newbie here!

Not bragging about what I have, as I've been a collector for a long time. Once again, I thought I had to have at least 15 postings before I'm allowed to post photos. If not, let me know and I'll be more than happy to post them.

Geez, give me a break guy!

Hey guy! Don't I need 15 posts before I will be allowed to post lots of my treasures? If not, let me know and I will definitely post them. I'm not bragging about anything I don't have, so cut me some slack. Not to be too overstated, but I have enough men's vintage jackets, hats, gloves, suits, shoes, etc. to stock a complete vintage store. Get it! It's called being a long time collector. I'm old!

Thanks Alden.

Notice how the only guy who's hatless is a kid wearing a pretty cool grizzly?

lol When I wrote "Grizzly" the French film noir "Touchez Pas au Grisbi" came to mind: sounds similar.

What a fantastic thread! I had never heard of a "grizzly" until I joined this site. To all you owners of this style jacket, it's definitely a beautiful jacket... wear and enjoy it in good health! :)

Huge price reduction on these Japanese-made repro Lakeland Grizzlies...if you take a small size (doubtful, I know), it's a pretty good deal:

A few more here at regular prices:

And here's a real one for about USD$2000:

I saw these just the other day in my office. These are my EXACT measurements. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the brown one.

I couldn't resist at that price.

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?
