The leather bomber is one of those jackets that either looks like it belongs to you or looks like you borrowed it from someone cooler. The difference is almost always in the leather itself and how the jacket is cut. Cheap versions use thin, stiff hides that never soften properly and sit awkwardly at the shoulders. The better ones are made from lamb or supple cowhide that moves with you and improves with every season of wear. We have been paying particular attention to fit around the body and sleeve length, because a bomber that is even slightly too long loses the whole proportion. These are not the cheapest options out there. We are not pretending otherwise. But a well made leather bomber worn regularly over five or more years costs considerably less per wear than a poor one replaced twice. These are the ones that age into something worth keeping.
