I don't think I'd ever be able to pull off a Grizzly myself but the jacket really suits you! Awesome.
Thank you.
You would be surprised, such a versatile jacket. It's just like a furry varsity jacket!

Nice collection, all good but the Lewis stands out to me. Is it sheepskin?

I started out wearing one of my favorites; a 1940s Sierra Horsehide.
but felt the chill and wore the Wool Hercules. This has been my go to jacket. I'm wearing it now

Yes, the Lewis is made of vegetable tanned sheepskin with a lining of dogtooths wool.
Interesting that this jacket is generally so well liked.
I like it too, but I like my others better.

That is not the encouragement I need! I'm in a good range now. I've got a lot of size 44/42. Sold many of my smaller jackets. Now I have several that are too big, size 46.
The Wools are getting all the wearing time, leather feels a bit odd.
Such a struggle!

I guess the current trend now is no cuffs and waistbands, but I love this jacket. Perfect weight and cozy. Californian brown horsehide with original mouton collar
I don't know if this is a trend; there are people who wear them all the time, just not on this chat... If a flight jacket fits great, it can look great. My issue with them is that most of them are blousy.
What Will said. Knits ruin a jacket for me personally, but I do see guys wearing them and think they look cool. Knits really magnify the fit, good or bad. I think jackets with knits look best when the jacket is trim fitting, so it doesn’t create a balloon effect in the sleeves and torso.

Yes, fit is very important for lots of people. Few years ago skinny jeans were all the rage, now I see a lot of baggier clothes. I've got some big thighs for being shorter - I need my pants to breathe while still looking pretty good. Same for my jackets - I've got a few that fit me well in a photo but I get exhausted after a couple hours of wear. I'll always sacrifice a bit of that slim fit for comfort
