Womens Faux Leather Zip Up Everyday Bomber Jacket

Womens Faux Leather Zip Up Everyday Bomber Jacket

Everyday is the useful word in this title. This is a faux leather bomber — a coated fabric rather than hide — and that is precisely what makes it an everyday jacket rather than a special one. It is light enough to wear all day, wipes clean in seconds, costs a fraction of real leather, and you will not worry about it on a crowded train.

• Material: Faux leather (coated fabric)
• Fit: Regular bomber fit
• Closure: Front zip with ribbed collar
• Color: Black
• Care: Wipe with a damp cloth, never machine wash, never iron

Faux leather, said plainly

The shell is a coated fabric, not animal hide. It will not develop a patina, will not soften over years, and will not last as long as real leather — a coating eventually cracks at high-flex points rather than wearing thin.

What you get instead is very light weight, a wipe-clean surface, perfectly uniform colour with no grain variation, and no animal hide. For real leather bombers, see our Women Bomber Leather Jackets range.

The honest case for buying faux

Three situations where it is the better choice. If you want a leather-look jacket for a season or two rather than a decade. If you do not wear animal hide. Or if you want something you can throw in a bag, wear in a crowd and not think about — a real leather jacket is a thing you look after, and this is not.

The situation where it is the wrong choice is if you want a jacket that improves with age. Faux does not do that; it starts at its best and slowly declines.

Care, which matters more on a coated shell

Heat is the enemy. Keep it away from radiators, never tumble dry it, and never iron it — a hot iron melts a coated finish on contact and the damage cannot be repaired. Wipe the shell with a damp cloth rather than soaking it.

Treated properly you get several good seasons. Treated carelessly it can crack in one.

The bomber shape

Knitted rib at the collar, cuffs and hem, which grips the waist and wrists so the jacket does not hang open. Soft shoulders and room through the body. Zip front with hip pockets.

The bomber is the right shape for a faux jacket, because it is a relaxed cut with no close-fitting panels — and a coated finish creases at the points where it flexes hardest, so a loose shape lasts longer than a tight one.

Fit and styling

Regular bomber fit. Faux leather has slightly more give than hide, so sizing is more forgiving — take your normal size, and size up if you want a jumper underneath.

Jeans, trainers, a plain top. See our Women Leather Jackets for real leather, or Women Studded Leather Jackets for something with hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this real leather?

No. The shell is faux leather — a coated fabric with no animal hide. Our real leather bombers are in the Women Bomber Leather Jackets collection.

Is it vegan?

The shell contains no animal hide. Message us before ordering if you need confirmation on every component.

How long will it last?

Several good seasons with care. Faux eventually cracks at high-flex points rather than wearing thin, and heat accelerates that badly.

Can I wash it?

Wipe with a damp cloth only. Never machine wash, tumble dry or iron it.

Does it age like leather?

No. It starts at its best and slowly declines, rather than improving with wear.

Why is a bomber a good shape for faux?

A coated finish creases where it flexes hardest, so a relaxed cut with no close-fitting panels lasts longer than a tight one.

What size should I order?

Your normal size; size up to layer. Faux has slightly more give than hide, so sizing is more forgiving.
