- Named for the ghosty pale Northern Canadian bear, Ursus americanus kermodei, a species revered in Canadian Native oral tradition, the Spirit Bear jacket is an updated Grizzly type jacket made especially for our female clients. This jacket is exactly as functional and durable as our Wolverine model, its masculine counterpart.
Both now and in the past, few grizzly jackets have been made for women—perhaps none. We’ve never seen a vintage example. Today, as women make ever-greater strides toward true equality, it makes sense to us that these historically rugged garments would be updated to fit the variety of bodies that might need them.
The Spirit Bear is available here in Natural American Steerhide, with the Japanese red chambray liner. All other leather and liner combinations, as well as additional customization, are available for custom order.
Please note that there is significant variance in the colour of hair-on hides, and no two jackets will be exactly alike. Make sure to contact us if you’d like to make a request for a specific hair-on look. -
