Bomber jackets are always a good staple to have in your wardrobe. Generally speaking, the bomber jacket is unisex, versatile, and always a great choice. Instead of reaching for that old leather coat you’ve got in the closet, why not take a look at what we have on offer?
So you may be asking, what is a bomber jacket exactly? To clarify, the traditional bomber jacket bunches at the waist and wrists. Additionally, it has a zippered front and varies in the number of pockets the jacket has. Moreover, the bomber jacket has a colorful military career.
The Bomber’s Origins
Earlier I mentioned the long history of the bomber jacket, so let’s take a look at the origin. First called “flight jackets,” the need came from trying to keep pilots warm. Planes during the WW1 era did not have an enclosed cockpit. Following that, the original flight jacket came around. It first featured high collars and a snug waist and sleeves.
Thereafter in WW2, a newer version of the flight jacket developed. Without a doubt, the most historical versions of this jacket were the A-2 and the G-1 jacket. Later on, the modern jacket we know today would be associated with the MA-1 version. Additionally, the MA-1 version came along during the 1950s. Regardless of all this, it’s a functional and fashionable choice. Let’s skip the history lesson and get to the products?
