What is a bomber jacket?????
A bomber jacket is short jacket with an elasticized waist. It can be worn open or closed and is usually made of anything from cotton, nylon or leather. Here’s an example of one that I own from Victoria’s Secret – http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce…
A bomber jacket is a leather or nylon jacket with two front pockets, sometimes with sheepskin lining, and a zippered front. The waist and cuffs may be made of elasticized material. The initial bomber jacket was a heavy weight leather jacket, specifically designed for pilots who conducted bombing raids. Cockpits were not airtight, and early pilots often flew at elevations where it could be uncomfortably cold. The first bomber jackets were called flight jackets, and were produced by both the British and American Air Force.
