In the early 1920's one of San Francisco's finest exports, workwear label Golden Bear - who are named after the state’s official animal - started manufacturing hard-wearing jackets for the longshoremen of the time who had the back-breaking task of carrying cargo all day long on - you guessed it - their backs. Today, the Californian brand stays true to the heritage of its founders, still manufacturing nearly everything by hand, which has seen them team up with the likes of Engineered Garments and Stussy, who have been drawn to the originality and durability the brand represents.

A distinctive take on a classic piece of athletic apparel, the Melton Wool Shawl Collar Varsity Jacket is constructed with a wool blend shell. Featuring a fully quilted lining, shawl collar, leather trimmed welt pockets, it is closed with a full stud placket and is finished with a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem.
