Grizzly Mania


The grizzly is a curious beast, a blend of horsehide and mouton. Popular in the 1930s and 40s, these jackets were worn by outdoorsmen and motorcyclists. The shawl collar button front version is especially rare. Collectors are especially excited to see these when they pop up on ebay. These are two I've sold: if they would have only fit me!
