Golden Bear Sportswear

Golden Bear Sportswear 103 Year Old Premier Outerwear Manufacturer & Brand Independently-owned in San Francisco, CA Since 1922 For over 80 years we have clothed our culture.

Since 1922 Golden Bear has made quality outerwear for those who want a sturdy piece of Americana. We made durable goatskin bomber jackets for fighter pilots in World War II. Our wool-body, leather-sleeve varsity jackets kept dockworkers warm in the 1920’s, high School and college kid’s ‘lettered’ since the ‘50’s, and today Chris Browne, Swizz Beat, and Snoop Dogg wear hip versions of this vintage

style. During the ‘60’s through the ‘80’s our local San Francisco entertainers, such as Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, The Doobie Brothers and The Grateful Dead, wore our suede styles. In more recent years our soft lambskin jackets and luxurious wool coats have been sold in the best retail stores in New York. Today the tradition continues.

The Leather Barracuda Jacket
A timeless silhouette, re-crafted in Golden Bear leather.

The Barracuda jacket may have its roots in British design, but it was immortalized by American icons — James Dean, Elvis Presley, Steve McQueen — each wearing it as a symbol of understated cool.
Golden Bear reinterprets this cultural staple in supple full-grain cowhide, giving it weight, structure, and quiet confidence.

The Presidio’s raglan construction, dog-ear collar, and ribbed details create an effortless balance of versatility and sophistication — a classic made modern through California craftsmanship.

AVAILABLE NOW for a Limited Time. (Link in Bio to Purchase)
