I have never before been seriously tempted by the Valstars but I cannot stop dreaming about this one...

It does look beautiful.

I don't think many of us would want to spend the coin for this one but who knows.

The Grose RAF is rougher around the edges but almost half the cost...

Believe it or not, train derailments happen very often in the US. 1,200-1,500 per year. That’s 3 or 4 every day. Fatalities are rare, thankfully.

I come for the Jawnz but I stay for the Train Facts.

Can I get an interest check here on doing preorders with James Grose? It's pretty time intensive for us to prepare preorder materials and create items online etc... but we may just be able to take preorders on a less formal fashion (email/deposit) if there are a few interested parties.

We'll probably restock the Lunch Jacket and RAF Irvin in the same configurations as before (only difference is they now sell the RAF Irvin in chest sizes instead of S, M, L, XL)

View attachment 1543811 View attachment 1543812 View attachment 1543813 View attachment 1543814



But we can also take orders for the same styles in different colors:

Lunch Jacket can come in:
  • Nappa Finish Dark Brown
  • Nappa Finish Black
  • Suede Finish Gold (what we order)
  • Suede Finish Dark Brown
  • Suede Finish Black
RAF Irvin can come in:
  • Nappa Finish Dark Brown (what we order)
  • Nappa Finish Black
  • Suede Finish Gold
  • Suede Finish Dark Brown
  • Suede Finish Black


But we can also take preorders for styles we won't be stocking, like

Shearling DB jacket (we had the black on black one in stock a couple years ago) and comes in the same 5 options - fits slimmer than Lunch or RAF

View attachment 1543820



Or the Bench coat - which only comes in the three suede finish options

View attachment 1543816
View attachment 1543817


Haven't done the pricing fully just yet (especially with the extra Trump tax on UK goods ?) but in terms of costs RAF > DB > Bench > Lunch

Great to hear Grose is still kicking. Can they do a DB in the gold suede finish the Lunch jacket is in? If so

Woah yeah great to hear James Grose is still in business! Seems like you guys also thought they were gone.

I'm interested in shearling, but looking to get something that isn't too heavy, especially for me living in 45+ winter weather. Grose DB and that Black/Brown Valstar are both beautiful. I remember asking about how warm the RAF was last season and seemed a bit too much for me, but wondering if Valstar options are a bit lighter.

My NR single breasted has been optimal dog walking gear in this Bay Area rainstorm. I just wish there was a little more room with the liner, but it's a great coat.
