40'S GOLDEN BEAR SPORT JACKET ...






Just got this perfect example of a straight forward early 40's sport jacket .No fancy pockets here,just as simple as can be. The patina on this horsehide is amazing.Got this GOLDEN BEAR jacket from my good buddies at "STATIC VINTAGE" here in SF.Moto,Brian and Leanndra are without a doubt among the best at what they do.Whatever decade you're into,i bet you'll find something to your taste at STATIC as their vintage selection is perhaps the one of the most interesting and divers in the city.So when in SF, if you're looking for quality vintage ,pay these guys a visite ,or "like" their facebook page for news...

S.Slater started the GOLDEN BEAR brand in 1922 here in San Francisco where the factory was based .The 50's and 60's saw the brand reach a pick in productivity ,with varsity and flight jackets becoming very popular.It's to be noted ,that the brand was also responsable for some of the best motorcycle jackets manufactured for the SFPD and CHIPS .
