Bomber Jackets - Men
Looking for a new jacket? Why not buy one of the popular bomber jackets, whose design originates from the US Air Force? At TEESHOPPEN we stock bomber jackets in loads of different styles and for every season. In our wide range you'll find men's designs you can wear all year round – we have jackets to suit every taste!
One of the most popular jackets right now is the acclaimed bomber jacket, as its design is simple, sleek and goes with almost anything. The jacket was developed by the US Air Force during the First World War, when pilots needed a jacket that was thick and insulating so they could stay warm in aircraft which, at that time, did not have enclosed cockpits. The jacket was named the ‘Flight Jacket’, and this name is still sometimes used today, although it is now best known as the ‘bomber jacket’.
Today the bomber jacket is recognised across the fashion industry worldwide and is therefore considered part of high fashion, which is why it comes in a wealth of designs and colours, as well as different cuts aimed at both men and women. At TEESHOPPEN we have a wide range of jackets for the fashion-conscious man – so have a look around the shop, where you're sure to find a style that fits perfectly into your wardrobe.
Originally designed in shades of green
The original bomber jacket was designed in army green and often had an orange lining too. These jackets are actually still available today, with a focus on sticking to the traditional colours and lines. Nowadays, however, you can also find them in many other colour palettes, as the range has expanded considerably, which is why you can now find bomber jackets in everything from red and yellow to black and white – so you're guaranteed to find a bomber jacket in exactly the colour you want. There's no doubt that bomber jackets are jackets with attitude, and that's why they can give you a powerful look.
The fashion world has embraced the bomber jacket
There's certainly no doubt that the international fashion scene has chosen to embrace the classic and hugely popular bomber jacket, which is why it is now a firm fixture in the collections of a great many major brands. More and more designers have also started working on reinterpretations of the popular jacket, which is why bomber jackets now come in several looks – but that only makes it more interesting, as the choice is bigger and there's a greater chance you'll find exactly the bomber jacket that appeals to you most
New bomber jacket styles include the ‘hooded bomber’, which is a winter jacket with a hood. The ‘light bomber’, which is a lovely lightweight summer jacket. The ‘coat bomber’, which is a classic bomber jacket but with extra length. There are also bomber jackets with leather details incorporated into the design, where, for example, the whole jacket or just the sleeves are made of leather. It's worth remembering, though, that all these reinterpretations still stay within the framework of the familiar design, meaning that the short cut with full sleeves and a fitted hip band, which characterise this iconic jacket, serve as the starting point for the new interpretations. The new designs do, however, mean that the bomber jacket appeals to many more people and more styles, which is also a contributing factor to its growing success.
A jacket that goes with almost anything
Don't let the bomber jacket's sporty design limit you. Even though the bomber jacket is a short style and has that ‘puffed-up’ look reminiscent of the ‘Letterman’ jacket, as you know it from various American TV series, where it's typically the slightly dim, girl-crazy jock who wears the jacket, usually with the school's initials on the back – which is also where the name ‘letterman’ comes from.
The jacket has a sporty look, but it can easily be worn for all sorts of other occasions. Wear it with a pair of men's jeans, a white T-shirt and a pair of cool trainers, and you'll instantly look cool and on trend. You could also wear a hoodie underneath, which really puts the focus on the hood as it hangs over the jacket – wear the jacket open so that the jacket and hoodie together become a look in their own right. The bomber jacket offers plenty of options for great looks – who wouldn't want to look like Tom Cruise in Top Gun?

Frequently Asked Questions
Our jackets are designed with a modern fit that hugs the body without being too tight. Most styles offer plenty of room for you to wear a jumper or sweatshirt underneath without the fit becoming baggy. We make sure that the sleeve length and shoulder lines fall naturally, so the jacket both looks good and is comfortable to wear all day long. If you’re unsure between two sizes, it’s a good idea to choose the larger one if you often wear thicker layers underneath.
We select our jackets with a focus on durability, comfort and a stylish look that stands the test of time. The materials are chosen so that the jacket feels pleasant against the skin, retains its shape after wear and withstands the wear and tear of everyday life. Details such as stitching, zips and buttons are carefully checked to ensure the overall look is polished. You can always view the exact material composition on each product page, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
We always recommend that you follow the washing instructions attached to the jacket itself, as different materials require different care. As a general rule, jackets will last longest if you wash them at a low temperature and avoid washing them more often than necessary. Close any zips and buttons before washing, and turn the jacket inside out to protect both the colour and the fabric. Air-drying is often the gentlest method and helps the jacket retain its shape.
Our jackets are designed to be easy to style for both everyday wear and slightly smarter occasions. For a relaxed look, you can pair the jacket with a T-shirt, jeans and trainers, whilst a shirt, chinos and smart shoes will elevate the look for dinner or work. Opt for neutral colours such as black, navy or beige if you want a jacket that goes with most of your wardrobe. Pay attention to the jacket’s length and fit when styling it — a shorter style often suits a sporty look, whilst longer styles give a more classic look.
