The Aviator Jacket Silhouette

The aviator jacket — also known as the flight jacket or bomber jacket — has a recognizable set of characteristics: structured shoulders, a fitted-through-the-body cut, a snap or ribbed collar, front zip closure, and usually a slightly shorter length that sits at or just below the waist. These proportions were originally developed to work in a cockpit environment, which is why the cut is less relaxed than a standard casual jacket. The result is a silhouette that looks intentional and well-fitted without trying to be fashion-forward. Explore more styles in our men's leather bomber jackets collection.

Genuine Leather Construction

The exterior is genuine leather — not synthetic or bonded. A real leather aviator jacket holds its shape, develops character over time with wear, and handles the demands of daily use better than any alternative. The genuine leather also responds well to basic conditioning, which keeps the surface supple rather than drying out and cracking.

What is the difference between a bomber and an aviator jacket?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Both refer to flight-inspired jackets with similar proportions. An aviator jacket tends to have a slightly more fitted, structured cut compared to the looser bomber, and may feature a snap collar or front snap closures in addition to a zip. Both styles originate from military flight gear design.
