Men's Aviator Bomber Leather Jacket
The Men's Aviator Bomber Leather Jacket from Leather Outlet combines elements of both the aviator and bomber jacket traditions into a single silhouette. Where a standard bomber uses a ribbed knit collar and a standard aviator uses a wide lapel-style leather collar, this jacket sits between those two design points — giving it a collar profile that is more open than a typical bomber but still structured in the way a classic bomber body requires. The result is a jacket that reads as a bomber from the body and an aviator from the neckline, which gives it a layered look with more detail than either style alone.

Aviator and Bomber — Where They Meet
The bomber jacket and the aviator jacket share a common origin in military flight outerwear. Both are hip-length, both use ribbed knit at the cuffs and hem, and both use a front zip as the primary closure. The difference in the collar treatment — ribbed knit versus wide leather lapel — is what most buyers use to distinguish between them. A jacket that blends the two sits in a useful design space: the collar gives it more visual depth than a plain bomber, while the structured body keeps it from looking as open and relaxed as a pure aviator. This hybrid treatment is a natural direction for a jacket designed to be versatile across occasions.
Leather Construction
This jacket is made from genuine leather. The outer surface is smooth and consistent across panels. The lining provides warmth and makes the jacket easy to slip on and off over other layers. Stitching is finished consistently at all seam points. The ribbed cuffs and hem are elastic knit that provide a wind seal at the openings. For other jackets in the aviator category, our aviator leather pilot jackets collection has the full range. For the full men's outerwear selection, our men's leather jackets section covers all silhouettes.
How to Wear It
This jacket sits in the casual-to-smart-casual range. Over a plain t-shirt and dark jeans it reads as strong casual. Over a button-down shirt it reads as smart-casual without needing additional layers. The hybrid collar means it photographs well in both open and closed positions, making it a versatile piece for different settings. For leather bottoms, our men's leather pants in matching or contrasting shades pair naturally with this jacket.
