The printed bomber is one of those pieces that sorts men into two camps very quickly. Some see pattern and print on outerwear and immediately look for the exit. Others understand that a well chosen print is exactly what lifts a plain outfit out of the ordinary without requiring any real effort. We are firmly in the second camp and have been for a while.

The thing to understand about printed bombers is that the print itself has to be doing something worth noticing. Embroidered florals, varsity graphics, abstract patterns with some actual thought behind them. The quality of the base fabric matters just as much as the design on top of it. A great print on a poorly constructed jacket is still a poorly constructed jacket.

We have pulled together the ones we would genuinely stand behind. Pieces that work over a plain white tee and dark trousers without asking too much of everything else in the outfit. The print earns its place here.
