The Bear Claw | Unisex Pullover Sweater
 
Born from the Wild
After weeks of dedicated tracking, a few failed attempts, and countless hikes, we finally captured the perfect bear print near Campbell River during the seasonal salmon run. This 7-inch paw print, left by a 400–500 lb black bear, was found on a muddy trail we had carefully prepared by raking leaves and compacting the soil every few days. When the bear finally came through, we poured the plaster and preserved the moment.
 
Each garment is tagged with its own unique story
 
Crafted for Comfort and Connection
Each Bear Claw sweater is hand-stamped on Vancouver Island using high-quality silk screen ink to lock in the art. The heavyweight fleece is garment-dyed for a soft, broken-in feel and won’t shrink at home. With its relaxed fit and clean finish, it’s built for misty trails, chilly mornings, and slow days by the fire.
 
Intentionally Made
Every piece is hand-stamped in small batches, using water-based inks and plastic-free packaging. We choose slow methods and quality materials to create something that lasts—because we care about where it ends up just as much as where it starts.
 
Sustainably Made
Crafted with care using low-impact dyes and ethical production practices, this sweater reflects our commitment to protecting the wild places that inspire us.
 
Unisex Sizing
Fits true to size for men, and relaxed for women. For a more tailored look, consider sizing down. Refer to our size chart for the perfect fit.
 
Care Instructions
Wash cold, inside out, and hang to dry. Take care of it like you would your favorite graphic tee, and it’ll stay with you for years.
 
Wear the Story
Each sweater carries a real moment from the coast—one wild encounter, captured in mud, cast in plaster, and now printed just for you.

Why We Use Pre-Orders
To keep offering fresh designs, new colors, and unique products, we can’t afford large wholesale runs that require big upfront costs and inventory storage. Instead, we produce in small batches, making each piece just for you. Many online-exclusive items are displayed in-store so you can see and feel them—but only the samples are in-store. Your order will be hand-stamped and crafted once placed, helping us stay sustainable while bringing you something truly special.
