Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bomber jacket?

A bomber jacket is a short, waist-length jacket with a fitted waistband, ribbed cuffs, and a zippered front. The style originated with military flight jackets in the 1940s and became a civilian wardrobe staple by the 1960s. Modern bombers use a wide range of fabrics including microsuede, microfiber, nylon, and quilted shells, but the silhouette stays consistent.

Are bomber jackets still in style?

Yes. The bomber jacket has been a fixture in menswear since the 1950s and shows no sign of leaving. It moves easily between casual and dressed-up looks, layers well over a t-shirt or button-down, and works in most seasons. The cut is forgiving across body types, which is part of why it has stayed in rotation for so long.

What is the difference between a bomber jacket and a flight jacket?

The terms overlap. A flight jacket refers specifically to military pilot jackets like the MA-1 or A-2, designed for aircrew. A bomber jacket is the broader civilian category that grew out of those military designs. All flight jackets are bombers, but not every bomber is a flight jacket. Most modern bombers borrow the silhouette without the military spec details.

How should a bomber jacket fit?

A bomber should hit at or just above the hip with the ribbed hem sitting at your waistband. The shoulder seam should land at the edge of your shoulder, not down your arm. There should be room for a layer underneath but no excess fabric at the chest or back. Sleeves should reach the wrist bone with cuffs unstretched.

Are Weatherproof® bomber jackets water-resistant?

Yes. Our bomber jackets use water-resistant outer fabrics and treatments that shed light rain and snow. They are not designed for sustained downpours the way our rain jackets are, but they handle wet commutes and weekend weather without soaking through. For heavier rain, pair the bomber with a packable rain shell or choose a fully waterproof option from our rain jacket collection.

How do I care for a bomber jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Skip fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. For microsuede and microfiber styles, a quick tumble on low heat after washing helps restore the fabric texture. Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth before they set in. Heritage construction since 1948 holds up to regular wear when you keep the care basics simple.
