Made in San Francisco, California.

We teamed up with local sportswear company Golden Bear (est. 1922) on a new set of cotton varsity jackets. Made in San Francisco's Potrero district, the jackets feature timeless styling with a contemporary twist featuring tartan plaid lining and leather pocket details.

During the 1950's, varsity jackets became the rage among high school and college students. Just as in the 1960’s with the culture radically changing and styles with it, Golden Bear provided the dockworker jackets worn by many a famous beat poets and rock stars such as Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, The Doobie Brothers and the Grateful Dead.

Varsity jackets and seasonal outerwear made exclusively for Unionmade.

Started in 1922 on the waterfronts of San Francisco, Golden Bear create tough, durable leather jackets for longshoremen, who carried cargo, literally, on their backs. Golden Bear gained fame during World War II, when pilots of the Flying Tigers, The P-38's, Hellcats and the Flying Fortresses, wore their jackets. Sixty years later, they remain stylish and practical. A family-owned enterprise, Golden Bear is one of the few companies that virtually manufacture almost everything by hand.
