Olive Leather V Bomber Mens Jacket
Olive is the one green that has always worked on outerwear, because it came from military clothing rather than from fashion. On a leather V-bomber it gives the jacket a utilitarian edge that black cannot — the shape is already a heavy winter jacket, and olive makes it read as functional rather than decorative.

Why olive works
Green is difficult on clothing generally and almost always looks wrong on leather — except olive. It reads as a neutral rather than a colour, so it behaves like navy or brown in an outfit rather than demanding attention. It also has decades of use behind it on field jackets and flight clothing, so the eye accepts it on outerwear immediately.
On hide, olive comes out with depth: darker in the grain and creases, lighter across the flat panels. Under low light it goes close to brown; in daylight the green is clear.
The V collar
Closed, the collar stands high around the neck and seals the throat gap — the one route wind takes that the rest of a leather jacket already blocks. Opened out, it falls into a broad V across the chest and shoulders, which is what gives the style its name.
The neckline and shoulder seams are reinforced to carry the collar's weight. Without that, a heavy collar drags the jacket backwards off the shoulders over time, which is the most common failure on this style.
Build and warmth
Real leather with enough substance to carry the collar and block wind across the body. Metal tooth main zip on a reinforced tape. Double-stitched seams, reinforced at the shoulders. Lined through the body, so between shell, lining and collar it is a genuine winter jacket.
Fit and styling
Regular fit. Take your normal size — room for a jumper is already built into the pattern, so avoid sizing up unless you want it loose.
Olive works with black, grey, cream, tan and denim. It pairs particularly well with brown boots and a tan bag, where black leather would clash with both. Keep the rest plain since the collar carries the jacket. See the rest of our V Bomber Leather Jackets, our Men Bomber Leather Jackets, or Men Leather Jackets.

Dry cloth on the leather and a soft brush on the fur. Never soak the fur or use conditioner on it.
