LOT. 628

Lot No. 628 Based on original Grizzly jackets produced during the late 1930s and early 1940s, this model follows the distinctive sporting silhouette of the period - short in length, warm in construction, and intended for winter travel and leisure wear. The exterior combines panels of natural shearling with pigment-finished teacore steerhide from Tuscany, measuring approximately 1.4 mm in thickness. The leather is designed to mature gradually, revealing its brown undertones only through extended wear. A pronounced natural grain and subtle sheen develop further with use, reflecting the character expected of period leathers. A vintage-style No. 8 nickel YKK slide fastener forms the front closure, accompanied by a solid nickel waist buckle in keeping with original examples. The body is lined in herringbone wool, sourced from a traditional wool mill in Yorkshire, UK - selected for it’s warmth while maintaining breathability for regular wear in colder climates. Cut to a cropped, period-correct fit, the Grizzly remains faithful to its origins as a distinctive cold-weather sports jacket - practical, comfortable, and built to age with the wearer over time.
