The
"Grizzly" Jacket is so called for obvious reasons. This popular 1930s style
combined a Mouton/Horsehide combination in a very unusual design. It
certainly has a most antique look. The history, as with all vintage jackets
-- gear, not collectables -- unknown (if ever articulated), but clearly the
jacket was intended to wed the superior warmth and bulk of sheepskin with
the flexibility and durability of leather. For warmth, the torso needs the
real insulation, as here, the sleeves the movement.
To go with our
regular peerless Russet or Black Horsehide we use genuine NOS Vintage Mouton from the 1940s-50s This jacket is available as a Custom Order Only and works equally
well for guys and gals. Brass Talon Zipper, Brass Buckles, 100% Heavyweight
Brown or Black Cotton Duck Lining.
