$3,977.00

sold exclusively by preorder!

History thick in the air. Samurai ghosts, ink-stained hands, the hum of old craftsmanship. I stand here, wrapped in ten years of Black Bear Brand—stitched into time, stitched into me.
The Varsity Jacket. Every patch, a moment. Hand-drawn. Chain-stitched. Madness. Over twenty hours of needle and thread. The Black Bear Brand USA & Japan ship—four hours alone. Precision. Obsession.
Steerhide sleeves, white as a storm’s underbelly. Navy melton wool, deep as twilight. A varsity jacket, evolved. Art. Craft. History. A decade of creation on my back.
A road to everywhere.
