Black Bear Brand Leather Jackets: The Best Leather Jackets in the World
Some jackets you buy. This one you live in until it becomes part of you.
A Black Bear Brand leather jacket is, to the people who truly know leather, one of the best leather jackets in the world — and we don't say that lightly. Horween horsehide. Handcrafted in the USA by master jacket makers. Built to outlive you and then get handed down.
The best leather on earth, handpicked
We build with Horween horsehide — from the legendary Horween Tannery in Chicago, makers of the finest leather in America since 1905. Josh handpicks and inspects every hide himself, right at the tannery with Nick Horween. Hand-chosen, hand-dyed, cut with purpose. Nothing about it is ordinary, and nothing about it is fast.
Handcrafted in the USA, built to outlive you
Every jacket is designed by Josh and handcrafted in the USA — Black Bear Brand Cupra lining, our own YKK snaps, hidden gun pockets, a concealed waist pocket. Obsessive details, because this jacket is meant to last a lifetime. It isn't fashion. It's a way of life, built for a life well lived.
A living work of art
These jackets age like nothing else. The leather creases, burnishes, and carries the story of every mile and every storm you ride through — romance and ruggedness in one hide. Wear it hard, wear it wet, wear it for thirty years; it only gets better, and so do you.
