How to Style Your Bomber Jacket
From Flight to Fashion: The Enduring Legacy of the Bomber Jacket
The bomber jacket isn't just a style statement – it's a piece of aviation history. Designed for pilots braving the elements, these jackets evolved from the 1927 A-1, with its practical design (tight cuffs, leather shell), to the streamlined MA-1 of 1955. This military essential eventually transitioned into civilian life, becoming a symbol of rebellion and now, a wardrobe staple. Discover the warmth and timeless style rooted in its functional origins.
How To Style a Bomber Jacket
A big part of flight jackets' enduring appeal is their versatility – every outfit can be a bomber jacket outfit. You can wear a bomber jacket with hoodies or t-shirts on casual days or even to parties. Likewise, they work just as well with jeans, cargo trousers, and joggers as they do with shorts and track pants. Our Winter 2023 jackets come in three different fits.
Our Regular Fit items are moderately fitted in the body and sleeves, making them a versatile pick for work and weekends. Our MA-1 Nasa Hornet, Oxygen jacket and MA-1 DTec, amongst others, fall into this category.
Our Oversized Fit is true to military specifications and reflects authentic military silhouettes. The MA-1 Classic generally has extra room in the body and sleeves and makes it a great option if you want to wear a bomber jacket over a thick hoodie or sweatshirt.
Our Slim Fit is for those who prefer an ultra-streamlined look, the MA-1 Dragon and MA-1 Patch are our most closely fitted jackets in the body and sleeves.
