Since the
Second World War, stylish leather bomber jackets have really reached the masses
having previously been predominantly the preferred outdoor attire of the military.
Many people from different walks of life can be seen
wearing these stylish bomber jackets. Hollywood has probably helped to sell these items of outdoor
clothing to the wider public across the globe, with some of the biggest stars in film history seen
adorning a flight jacket.
Some people are fascinated by that
Second World War period and military history in general and like to dress in the great flight
jackets of that time.
These give British, Americans and other allied nations
from that period a great sense of pride, but also they still look very stylish. Anyone can search
online and find sites dedicated to selling military attire not just from the UK and United States
but also from other countries including German and Russian outfits.
RAF Stylish Leather Bomber
Jackets
The great British fighter pilot flight
wear are stylish leather bomber jackets that still
look great to this day and can be made to order for anyone who wants to buy a brand new one.
They are made from thick brown sheepskin leather with
honey coloured sheepskin fleece wool on the inside for added warmth. Zippers adorn the front of
these leather bomber jackets as well as sleeve zips, a two bolt buckle on the neck, half waist belt
with buckle and two front pockets.
The
American leather bomber jacket is equally stylish and can also be purchased brand new from various
online stores. These can be made like the old World War Two style American bomber jacket with
darker brown sheep- skin leather used compared to the British equivalent.
This would also feature equally warm white wool on the
inside as well as a quality strong front zipper, two straps with buckles for closing neck, side
adjusting straps with buckles and two front thrust pockets.
Stylish Leather Bomber
Jackets at a Price
Made to order these British and
American jackets can cost between $2250 and $3000or maybe more. The cost rather depends on the
manufacturer and whether you want additional insignia on the leather jacket as favoured by US and British pilots for
example.
In fact adding art to leather bomber jackets is quite a
fascinating by product of this whole industry.
Some online sites like epicmilitaria.com
offer replicas of World War Two insignias from the British and United States military to add to
traditional bomber jackets.
For example the British replicas can include shoulder titles
from the many infantry regiments, commando brigades, airborne/paratrooper units and other
specialist services that fought for the Army and Navy in World War Two. U.S equivalent patches can
also be found to either sow on the jackets or just keep as a souvenir.
Some stylish leather bomber jackets may also have art work
added to the back and can be can be hand painted or decorated with imprints.
The hand painted artwork can be customized to suit the desire
of the jacket owner. It is amazing to think though that the style of bomber jacket from the Second
World War period can still be much sought after 60 or 70 years later.
