The bomber jacket is just one of many menswear pieces whose heritage is cemented within the armed forces. Similar to the pea, trench and parka coats, the bomber has a timeless appeal that transcends years, styles and trends; born out of military means and adapted to form part of popular culture.
This timeless quality makes the bomber well worth investing in if you have a penchant for classic, enduring personal style.

The basic bomber silhouette has played part in a number of classic takes that have gone down in menswear history and continue to be worn today.
