It has been nearly a century since
this particular style of outerwear took the world by storm and yet, it still
remains as one of the most popular designs. It is said that leather is eternal
and this outerwear show just that- a timeless style that persists and endures.
Originally, these outerwear pieces were only used for military pilots. But with
time, their popularity as well as demand increased and they were produced for
civilians- men and women both. Today, there are numerous styles with several
differing features and designs. This gives you the opportunity to find and buy
a piece that best suits you.
The A-2 is the most widely known
version of this style of outerwear. Epaulettes help give this piece a strong
character and a tough persona. But side pockets, snap down collar and knit
cuffs help give a casual and laid back attitude to this piece while
complimenting its military feel. Bomberjackets mens are also available in the B-3 design. This is lined with wool
on the inside and the outer shell is leather, usually from sheepskin. Both
fabrics are natural insulations and allow for a nice, warm outerwear. So if you
live in a cold and damp weather, this is the style for you. Welted seams help
control the natural bulky design and give a more structured look to the jacket.
Other versions are a bit more
lightweight. Since this outerwear is always in fashion, designs exist to allow
for it being worn all year round. Nylon is used for a lighter and airier piece.
Side entry pockets, knit cuffs, ribbed hems, front zip closures- all of these
are some distinctive features that all versions of this outerwear tends to
have. There are versions that are eco-friendly. These are made from recycled
fabric which will not harm the environment. They provide warmth and comfort
with wool lining and front zip closures. They are also water resistant as most
outerwear should be.
Over
the past year, neon colours have again risen to the top with all the signs of
carving an eternal niche for themselves. As such, many outerwear pieces have
been made in these colours with many producers offering you the choice to have
it custom-coloured! Some designs feature a hood for that urbane and trendy
look. With this design, you can have anything from the most classic style to
that 90s’ look to that cool and trendy image to downright army outlook.
Leather
is perhaps the most appropriate fabric for outerwear. It is soft and supple to
the touch but highly durable and strong. Bomberjackets mens are made not simply for style but for comfort as well. Moreover, they
have an exceptionally rich history. They
were worn by the military- men who went through many life threatening and life
changing experiences. Their services were riddled with adventures- especially
during both world wars. And they converted their stories, the tales they had to
tell, into their jackets by sowing on patches that represented those tales.
This then became a style and a phenomenon.
