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.

This jacket could be a true size for some people. I needed an extra size. Other than that I am very happy with it. It's super light, great quality of leather, great style. A jacket that you can wear with jeans or any other type of dress clothes. It feels soft as you put it on and when you touch it. A great jacket to have!!

Golden Bear Sportswear The James Car Coat - Lux Lambskin, Thinsulate® (For Men)
 
More of a Thick Shirt Than A Thin Car Co

Not Warm, Wears Out Quickly

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
This is a very nice car coat, but you really need to know what you are getting into. These coats are sold at some of the finer leather stores around the country, including resort towns, and there is a reason why. This coat has a wonderfully soft feel, and the cut is right on. However, it is very thin. If that is what you are looking for, you'll be thrilled. If you're like me, and are looking for something more substantial, you'll be disappointed. For instance, the Thinsulate is a 40g weight. Even the Thinsulate tag on the jacket states that 40g weight is meant for hats, gloves, and accessories. It becomes relevant when you think that some winter boots have 400g weight Thinsulate! It fits more like a heavy, insulated work shirt, than a coat. Just go into this eyes wide open. Oh, I ordered the Large Tall, which, had this been thicker, would have been perfect. It definitely fell below my waist, and the arm length was about an inch longer, which all made for good coverage. I usually wear a 44L if that helps any.

The leather on this jacket is butter soft-don't know how durable it will be-but it's not the type of jacket you would want to go through heavy brush either. I know my husband will wear this vest every chance he gets-around town-driving here and there. He can use his 'old favorite' vest for the ruff stuff!

Sized correct for Regular however I normally wear a 40 Short in blazers. I'll have sleeves shortened an inch and will be good to go. Hesitated a bit before investing but I'm glad I ordered this blazer. Good looking blazer. Quality stuff. Cons: A bit on heavy side but not too much. Top outside pocket is fake. I'm not crazy about the round buttons but I'll live with 'em just fine.
