Men Jet Black Bomber Jacket

Men Jet Black Bomber Jacket

Some garments are worth choosing on the basis of how often you will wear them rather than how much you like them in the photograph. A jet black leather bomber is the clearest example — it is the jacket that gets worn while others hang in the wardrobe.

• Material: Real leather with ribbed knit trim
• Fit: Regular fit
• Closure: Front zip
• Color: Jet black
• Care: Wipe clean, condition twice a year, hang to store

Why the plainest jacket gets worn most

Every garment has a set of outfits it works with. A red varsity jacket has perhaps a dozen; a studded biker jacket has a few dozen; a plain black leather bomber has as many as your wardrobe has combinations, because there is nothing on it to clash with anything.

That is not an argument against interesting jackets — it is an argument for owning this one first. If you are buying your first leather jacket, or replacing a jacket you actually wore out, this is the shape and colour to buy.

What it works with

Effectively everything casual, and a good deal that is not. Jeans and trainers, chinos and boots, over a tee, a shirt or a fine knit. Under a wool overcoat, because the knit collar sits flat.

The only setting where it is wrong is genuine formal wear, and even then a leather bomber over a shirt and dark trousers passes in more rooms than people expect.

Fit, care and honest notes

Regular fit with room for a shirt or fine knit at your usual size. Rib hem at the waist. Size down for closer over a tee.

Black is the most colour-stable leather finish and the best at hiding everyday marks, so it also asks the least of you in maintenance: wipe with a soft dry cloth, condition once or twice a year, hang rather than fold.

Made to order, XS to 5XL and custom

Made after you order in XS to 5XL, plus Custom — chest, shoulder, sleeve and back length. On a jacket you will wear this often, getting the fit right is worth the extra step. Free shipping, secure checkout, and honest pricing on real leather.
