ASPIRE BAKERIES LLC Launches "The Admiral" – A Navy-Inspired Jacket Blending Heritage and Modern Comfort

Van Nuys, CA – October 26, 2023 – ASPIRE BAKERIES LLC, a California-based company known for crafting quality goods with a focus on detail, just dropped something a little different – “The Admiral,” a stylish jacket inspired by classic navy service jackets. While the name might sound surprising coming from a company usually associated with, well, baked goods (more on that later!), ASPIRE BAKERIES is actually built on a foundation of craftsmanship and a dedication to making things well, and “The Admiral” is a testament to that. You’re probably wondering what a bakery is doing making jackets, right? It’s a good question! ASPIRE BAKERIES LLC started as a small family operation, initially focused on perfecting artisanal bread and pastries. But the founders, the Miller family, have always been makers – people who enjoy building things with their hands. Over time, this passion expanded beyond the kitchen. They’ve always been fascinated by classic American workwear and military designs, appreciating their durability, functionality, and timeless style. They realized the skills honed in precise baking – attention to detail, quality control, a commitment to using the best materials – translated surprisingly well to garment construction. “We treat making a jacket with the same care we put into a sourdough loaf,” explains Sarah Miller, Head of Design at ASPIRE BAKERIES. "It's about getting every detail just right." The Admiral: A Nod to Tradition, Built for Today “The Admiral” isn’t just a copy of an old navy jacket. It’s a re-imagining. ASPIRE BAKERIES wanted to create a piece that honors the heritage of the original while offering the comfort and convenience modern wearers expect. “We looked at a lot of vintage jackets,” explains David Miller, ASPIRE BAKERIES’ Operations Manager. “We wanted to capture that classic, rugged look, but make something that you’d actually want to wear every day. Something comfortable, durable, and versatile.” So what does that look like? The Cut: The jacket features a classic, slightly boxy fit that's flattering without being overly tight. It's designed to be worn comfortably over layers, making it perfect for everything from a chilly morning commute to a weekend hike. The Fabric: ASPIRE BAKERIES opted for a robust, yet surprisingly soft, cotton twill. “We wanted something that could withstand some wear and tear, but wouldn’t feel like cardboard,” Sarah Miller explains. “It’s a mid-weight fabric that’s breathable and comfortable year-round.” The fabric is sourced domestically, supporting American manufacturers. The Details: This is where ASPIRE BAKERIES’ attention to detail really shines. "The Admiral" boasts: Classic Sailor Buttons: Authentic-looking anchor buttons complete the nautical aesthetic. Two Large Chest Pockets: Plenty of space for your phone, wallet, or whatever you need to carry. Interior Pocket: A hidden interior pocket keeps your valuables secure. Ribbed Cuffs and Hem: Provide a snug fit and keep the elements out. Reinforced Elbows: Adding to the jacket’s durability and giving it a subtle, vintage vibe. Color Options: "The Admiral" is currently available in three classic colors: Navy (of course!), Charcoal Gray, and a versatile Olive Green. Beyond the Jacket: ASPIRE BAKERIES’ Commitment to Quality ASPIRE BAKERIES isn’t just about making a good-looking jacket. It’s about building a brand based on integrity and craftsmanship. They control every aspect of the production process, from sourcing materials to the final stitching. "We’re a small team, and we’re proud of that,” David Miller says. “It allows us to maintain a level of quality that you just can’t find with larger manufacturers. We personally inspect every jacket before it ships.” And while they’ve expanded beyond baked goods, the bakery roots remain. The company continues to operate its artisanal bakery alongside the apparel line, with a portion of the proceeds from "The Admiral" going towards supporting local food banks.
