Man & Bear

Man & Bear Man Gun Bear was launched in 2012 with a simple ethos, that if we build something we are passionate All products are designed and made in The New Forest, UK.

Man Gun Bear was launched in 2012 with the intention of creating sophisticated men's accessories using a combination of premium quality materials and an appreciation for innovative manufacturing techniques. Tony Carr, the founder and driving force behind Man Gun Bear, made the decision to launch the business out of necessity due to a lack of innovative, high-end, personalised items in the men's fa

shion industry. Wanting something sophisticated combined with intricate craftsmanship and a kick of personality proved difficult; Man Gun Bear now fills this niche providing a wide range of products to satisfy the needs of the thoroughly modern man. Each item is individually stitched, sanded, oiled and packaged and is put through a rigorous quality control check to ensure premium customer satisfaction. Man Gun Bear not only advocates the growth of beards but also the planting of trees as a registered member of The Woodland Trust, the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity. Materials are ethically sourced to minimise carbon footprint and all UK cowhide leather is a bi-product of the dairy and food industry. Providing gift ideas for ‘hard to buy for’ Father’s Day presents, male birthdays and groomsmen, the product range is equally relevant for gifting oneself. Particular highlights include the Beard Comb & Bottle Opener meaning beard combing and lager drinking can be done simultaneously, the Solid Brass Cufflinks perfect for all occasions and the Hand-Stitched Natural Leather Wallet that will mold itself to the shape of a back pocket seamlessly. Man Gun Bear promotes creativity, endorses avid curiosity and strives to 'keep it real'.
