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 fashion 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'.

Our journals may seem a simple product, but even the details like the brass plate are CNC’d in house by our team.

New Forest, designed and made.

Small pieces of everyday quality, designed to improve our experience with the objects we carry. Our cable tidies are part of this ethos.

Built-in obsolescence makes things to be replaced.
Handmade makes things to be kept.

Made by hand in the UK, with time, care and purpose — because something worth owning should be made to last, not made to expire.

Ever wonder what goes into an order;

Friday afternoon and we’ve got one luggage tag left for an order that must go out the same day. Unfortunately a mistake was made and the initials were in the wrong order. We make all our stock in house so we can still do it!

Here is what goes into every single luggage tag ordered, every step in our small workshop in the New Forest.

It’s not often you get to see the real place behind an online business. So much of what we see on social media can be staged, polished or even AI-generated.

Come through the keyhole with us and take a glimpse behind the scenes as we make one of our M&B coin purses — right here in our busy workshop in the New Forest.

No studio set. No fancy backdrop. Just real people, making real products.

Last week, an exciting order came in with a very short deadline — 35 of our bespoke darts cases, with one caveat: they had to be completed by the following Wednesday.

We knew this was going to be a big push for our small team, so before getting the full go-ahead from the customer, we made the decision to get started. Otherwise, we simply wouldn’t have been able to meet the deadline.

After getting as far as shown, the order was unfortunately cancelled.

This is part of being a small business. From time to time, we have to make quick decisions and take a few calculated risks to make exciting opportunities happen, all while juggling other projects alongside them.

We can almost always make it work, no matter how big the order or how short the deadline — but sometimes things don’t work out quite as we expected.

Thankfully, because we hadn’t personalised the cases yet, we’ve now got a head start on our Christmas stock. 🎄

It always works out in the end.
