Black Shirt Style Leather Bomber Jacket
The Black Shirt Style Leather Bomber Jacket swaps the ribbed bomber collar for a soft shirt collar, which changes the whole character of the jacket. A rib collar sits up and reads sporty. A shirt collar folds down and reads relaxed, so this works over a shirt in a way a standard bomber does not. It is the most understated jacket shape we make.

Shirt Collar Versus Rib Collar
The collar is the single detail that tells people what kind of jacket you are wearing. Rib says bomber and sportswear. A pointed fold-down collar says shirt, which reads calmer and dressier. Same body, same zip, completely different impression, and it means this layers under a coat without a bulky rib sitting at your neck.
Soft Leather for an Unstructured Shape
A shirt collar needs soft leather to fold properly. Stiff hide would make the collar stand up regardless, which defeats the point. The leather here is chosen soft enough to drape at the collar and the hem, which is what gives the jacket its relaxed line.
Fit and Styling
Relaxed fit at hip length. Order your usual size, which allows a shirt or thin knit underneath. Because the collar is soft, it works open over a tee or zipped over a shirt, and the plain black finish means it does not compete with anything you wear with it.
