Grizzly Body Pin M035

Often known simply as the "Grizzly," the Grizzly Bear is an iconic and powerful apex predator native to North America. This massive bear species is recognized for its distinctive hump on the shoulders, powerful build, and formidable presence. Grizzlies are also commonly referred to as "Brown Bears" due to their often brown fur, and they belong to the same species as the European Brown Bear. These magnificent creatures can weigh up to 1,500 pounds or more, making them one of the largest land mammals in the world. Grizzlies are known for their solitary nature and territorial behavior, roaming vast wilderness areas in search of food, including salmon during the spawning season. They are expert fishers and also forage for berries, roots, and small mammals. Grizzly Bears are an integral part of the ecosystem, shaping the environment and playing a vital role in maintaining the health of the wilderness. With their immense strength and distinct appearance, Grizzly Bears are both a symbol of the untamed wilderness and a subject of fascination for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. These majestic creatures, often associated with the American West, embody the spirit of the wild and serve as a reminder of the diverse and awe-inspiring fauna that inhabits the continent.

Craft & construction

Built to stay put. Our pins have two posts and clutches which hold it flat and ensure a spin-free application wherever you display it. It solves a common pin complaint. The 1/4-inch steel tacks are long enough to pass through most fabrics, about 1/4 inch, yet short enough to sit flush. And each clutch seats into a small groove on the post with a firm, satisfying click — haptic feedback that tells you it's locked, and a detail cheaper pins skip.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
