the BLACK BEAR BRAND psychedelic blue... hand woven Harris Tweed!

There’s a place, far from the rush of cities, where the wind never stops and the earth feels ancient. It was here that the cloth was made, woven by hand on looms that have stood the test of generations. It wasn’t just any wool, but Harris Tweed—the kind that holds the spirit of the land itself. Psychedelic blue, with flashes of pink, red, purple, yellow, and navy. It felt alive, a pattern pulled from the archives of memory, too wild to be tamed, too rare to be forgotten.
I brought it back to Seattle, that cloth. Wrapped in the quiet reverence it deserved, it traveled with me, across oceans, mountains, and miles of road. In my hands, it was still raw, waiting. But in the studio, it would become something more.
The jacket was born slowly, crafted by hands that understood patience. The design pulled from the past but shaped by the present—a Western cut, rugged and sharp. Leather-reinforced snaps, each one sewn with intention. Inside, the Japanese diamond quilting added a layer of warmth, a touch of elegance against the strength of the outer wool. It wasn’t just a jacket—it was the kind of piece you wore into the wild, into the unknown.
I took it on the first ride, through the sweeping curves of Glacier National Park. The road stretched out before me, the mountains rising like giants on all sides. The jacket held firm, a shield against the wind. It felt as if it had always been there, stitched into the story of the land.
Now, that story continues.
