Bomber jackets

Nylon, leather, wool and down bombers for women and men, from independent boutiques.

Bomber jackets for women and men from independent boutiques: down bombers from Moose Knuckles and Mackage, wool and nylon flight jackets from Song for the Mute and Undercover, and a shearling denim bomber from Patou. Black and olive lead, with camel and chocolate behind them.

The bomber is the jacket of the season because it sits between a coat and a hoodie. Zipped, it is a winter layer over a knit; open, it is a going out jacket over a tee. Undercover cuts one with a satin shawl lapel and a single flight sleeve, which is the piece to see first.

Due West in Toronto carries the down bombers, built for a Canadian January, and WDLT117 has the designer cuts from Japan and Australia. Try the shoulder before the chest: a bomber should sit on the shoulder and fall straight.

Common questions

Which bomber jackets are warm enough for winter?

The down bombers from Moose Knuckles and Mackage are built for Canadian cold. The wool and nylon flight jackets from Undercover and Song for the Mute are for autumn and for layering.

How should a bomber jacket fit?

On the shoulder, with room for a knit under it and a hem that sits at the hip. The rib cuffs and hem should hold, not hang.

What do I wear a bomber with?

Black jeans or pleated trousers and a boot. Zipped it is a coat; open over a tee it is a jacket for a night out.
