Men Oxford Blue Bomber Jacket

Why bombers layer and other leather jackets do not
Three reasons. The collar is knit and low, so it sits flat under a coat collar instead of doubling it — wide biker lapels or a stand collar both bunch at the neck and make an overcoat impossible to close.
The body is short, so it does not extend past a coat's hem or fold up inside it.
And the cuffs are ribbed rather than zipped or buckled, so they slide inside a coat sleeve without catching.
Put a biker jacket under an overcoat and you will fight all three. A bomber simply goes on.
Why Oxford blue is a good layering colour
It sits with grey and camel overcoats — the two most common — in a way black does not always manage. Black under camel can look stark; a deep blue reads intentional.
It is also dark enough that if the jacket shows at the neck or cuff, it looks deliberate rather than accidental.
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 — and for layering under a coat, closer is better.
Care: wipe with a soft dry cloth, condition once or twice a year, and store out of sustained direct sunlight, since Oxford blue is a dyed shade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear this under an overcoat?
Yes — the knit collar sits flat, the body is short, and the ribbed cuffs slide inside a coat sleeve.
Why does a biker jacket not layer?
Wide lapels double the collar, the body is longer, and buckled or zipped cuffs catch inside a sleeve.
Why is Oxford blue good for layering?
It sits well with grey and camel overcoats, where black can look stark.
Will the colour fade?
It is a dyed shade, so sustained direct sunlight lightens it. Store it out of a bright window.
How should it fit if I plan to layer?
Closer rather than looser — size down if you will wear it under a coat regularly.
Is the leather real?
Yes, genuine leather with ribbed knit at the collar, cuffs and hem.
Do you offer custom sizing?
Yes — XS to 5XL plus Custom to your own measurements.
