The Bomber Jacket has continued its recent resurgence to become a staple in every man’s wardrobe.
An incandescent trend, surviving successive autumn/winter and spring/summer collections, the forecast is that the Bomber will exert its influence for years to come.
Traditionally identified by its short waist length, and complimenting knitted waistband and cuff, the bomber jacket has been reinvigorated in various forms. From the traditional MA-1 style, showcased by the Monitaly Flight Jacket, to more adaptable and contemporary reincarnations, such as the Dark Grey Bomber from Edwin- which takes the focus of our latest Edit #27.
