Golden Bear

Golden Bear

Golden Bear has stepped it up a notch since 1922, when their signature leather jackets were only worn by hard-working longshoremen on the waterfront of San Francisco. That same durability and quality stayed with the Golden Bear name as they designed their famed series of leather bomber jackets for WWII pilots taking to the skies in Flying Fortresses. Golden Bear’s popularity then soared into the ‘50s, when varsity jackets became all the rage among high school and college students. And the momentum continued when Golden Bear’s proximity to San Francisco put them at the center of the ‘60s counter-culture movement, and the revival of the original leather dockworker jacket became a fashion trend embraced by famous beat poets and rock stars. Today, Golden Bear is still a prestigious jacket brand known for its exceptional tailoring and luxurious leathers, suedes and wools.

Attractive Design
Cons:
Poor Fit
Describe Yourself:
Casual Dresser

Feels too small

Feels too short
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I wear a large and purchased an Extra large becasue it was all they had and it was still too small. The leather was of a very poor quality if compaired to my Schott, Coach, and Marc leather jackets in the same price range. There is more that could be said about this jacket but it isn't worth spending any more time on.

Consistent with other reviews
By MAJ from ATL on 06/09/2009
Pros:
Comfortable, Lightweight
Cons:
Poor Fit
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Sleeve Length:
Feels too short
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I have short arms and have been unable to find a good fit in a leather jacket because most size mediums are about 1-2" too long in the sleeve. Was hopeful, based on reviews, that this jacket would fit well. But the sleeves on this jacket aren't just short-- they're extremely short! Too short for me, even, and I had to return it. Otherwise, it's a nice, lightweight jacket. Also, although the description is accurate, the pics don't show that both the sleeves and the hem are knit.

Another winner from STP...I was skeptical about this vest at first but after watching it for almost six months and reading all of the other reviews, I decided to give it a shot. To my surprise, this vest turned out to be even more attractive than I had envisioned. I own a few other suede/leather vests but I have to say this one outshines them all. The color truly is reddish brown which makes this a very versitile addition to my wardrobe since it almost matches everything. It's also extremely comfortable and should last for many years. Thanks a bunch STP!

Comments:
I am a high end bargain shopper. I also live in South Florida, so a leather jacket is something I wear less than 10 times a year. When the temperature drops to the low 50's the sweaters and leather jackets emerge in my area. You see a lot of jackets, in perfect condition, with heavily padded shoulders and lots of detail. Immediately you think of the leather jackets in your own closet that you hope will come back into style. A long way to go, but the point is that this jacket will be in style as long as I am alive.The quality of the leather and construction compares favorably with my Burberry leather duffel coat that retailed for 3 times as much as the [$] retail price of this jacket.I caught a 35% off sale and applied a 15%, free shipping coupon, so the jacket cost less than [$] all in. I've often paid more for a shirt.The fit is perfect, the detailed workmanship does not show up in a photo, and the overall quality stacks up to any designer brand. The jacket is still a bargain at the [$] regular price.
