The 1940s California Bears Car Coat reimagines the leather coats once worn by drivers of open-top automobiles. Drawing on 1920s–40s cues, it's cut straight and mid-length for everyday wear. Built from oil-rich, full-grain tea-core horsehide and finished with tweed lining, buffalo-horn buttons, and vintage CONMAR hardware.

      Impressive!

      I am not one to leave reviews but this jacket exceeded(by far) my expectations!

      The quality of the leather, the attention to detail.. truly superb!

      And the price of course makes it even more impressive!

      Brake House if you’re reading this - great job!

      Also please consider offering a larger size(or sizes better suited to Americans)

      At 6’2 and 212lbs the 3XL fits more like a fitted shirt than jacket, leaving very little room for layering.

      But it’s definitely cool!
