Had no idea the pic in the OP was a bomber jacket. I thought my awesome leather jacket was what a bomber jacket was. guess its an aviator leather jacket after some googling.

I think the OP jacket is decent

 

[Dreadnought]

Yay for me. I own the one similar to one you posted, but not that puffy. I also own this, and prefer this style of bomber jacket:

Great jacket.

Lose the hoodie and it'd be a good looking jacket

 

[Oxn]

Whyd u link such an ugly bomber

 

[Already Torn]

Which makes me sad.

Damn nerds co-opting my favorite look. ;-;

RIP, along with the trilby

Yeah, the hoodie is zipped in and can be removed. Good for when you don't need it.

We all want that jacket!!

 

[yogloo]

Nay. I think suicide bombers are wrong.

 

[sfedai0]

Glad you like it but that jacket is bland as hell. I also hate the built in hoodie style jackets.

You posted a great value is what you did :]
Seriously $150 is very not bad for that. I like the jacket.

Old School: It's not a bomber jacket without ridiculous patches!

Thanks! I think it's generally $200 - $300? I bought it on Christmas sale, which is just around the corner...

Yup, I'm in Neogaf.

 

[nitewulf]

Yes. Bomber jacket: in, Moto jacket: out

wrong again, i got this one:

Heh, I don't blame him or his personal taste. Like I stated before, the hoodie can be removed. It also comes in variations e.g. one with zipped pockets, etc which might be less bland.

 

[norm9]

Bomber jackets have always been cool. And they keep you warm.

 

[NervousXtian]

The jacket in the OP looks like what skinheads wear.

So nay.

 

[Anth0ny]

I love my slim alpha industries jacket

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Don't worry about them. Jacket is cool as fuck.

 

[jesu]

They're alright but not as good as Harringtons

 

[RustyNails]

Hard yes to Bomber Jackets. Plus points if they're brown/cream

I thank Leon Kennedy for making me interested in them.

 

[Frozenprince]

A great bomber jacket needs the fur lined collar.

 

[spolle]

Not really.

wrong again, i got this one:

Hey, I don't make the rules

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Glad you like it but that jacket is bland as hell. I also hate the built in hoodie style jackets.

Needs more sequins.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Did anyone else see this and think of a neo-nazi straight away - or is it me?

As of the topic at hand, the puffy shit like the one above? Nay. Non-puffy? A-ok.

 

[FeenixRising]

This style of jacket has become popular in recent years, and I was wondering what GAF thought of them.

Cool? Lame? Would you wear one? Why or why not?

Huh?

That style of jacket was popular back in the late 90s-early 2000s, at least in the hip-hop world. I still have that exact jacket, and a dark blue one.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Bomber jacket and olive green were really in last year. I have one but rather light wear for like early fall, that's about it.

 

[astroturfing]

nah. i will forever associate them with neonazis (90s Finland was like that).

 

[Transhuman]

 

[nomis]

OP, most guys can get away with ones that aren't

 

[Transhuman]

I could totally get away with that Jacket

[Horse Detective]

Don't let GAF put you down on this one in turn of a diesel esque moto with a hoodie. *vomits*
They are a staple in a minimalist wardrobe.

I prefer the slim fits on guys. The over sized works better on women. Try a nude/beige suede over a simple black under layer.

I see where you are coming from but I know of it's history

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinheads_Against_Racial_Prejudice

The S.H.A.R.P. movement was especially popular in the late 70’s to mid 80’s. It took some time after the rise of racist skinheads in the 70’s to make their wave of hate, for people to come together and go against them. Many people may confuse them with racist skinheads, since their appearance is particularly alike: shaved heads, denim, lace up boots, collared shirts and suspenders. A differentiation that can easily separate the two would be music interests. S.H.A.R.P’s listen to culturally influenced music such as: Rock, Soul, Reggae, and Ska. Skinheads, who are racist would disagree with these musical choices.

 

[dragonlife]

Yea. I don't own one but a lot of men look hot in one.

Yea all the way.

 

[hie]

Great jacket.

Where can I find high-quality slim fit bomber jackets in the non-oversized style?

You seem like an expert.

 

[Ventara]

Yay, but only if it has a collar for you to pop up. Or would that not make it a bomber jacket anymore?

 

[nitewulf]

Problem is the punk/hardcore scenesters always wore the black jackets and army boots, plus other army fatigues. Incidentally the rightwingers or neo-nazis kinda like that music, so they also wear the gear. The gear or the music is not at fault here, you know?

 

[bootsthecat]

I associate bombers with ska kids and skinheads. Many of the jackets pictured in this thread do not fit the bomber jacket criteria for me (of course I have no idea what said criteria is)

I've been looking at Uniqlo's but I don't know if I'm interested in the shiny nylon kind.

 

[Chumley]

[Noks415]

Just ordered this, should be here soon.

 

[Hidden One]

Anyone know what kinda Jacket this is?

 

[Very Berry Sunday]

Just to clarify, MA-1 Bombers are okay to wear in the rain?

 

[MartyStu]

Yay for me. I own the one similar to one you posted, but not that puffy. I also own this, and prefer this style of bomber jacket:

Great jacket.

EDIT: Brand is Danier. The hoodie can be removed. Also comes in one with pockets. www.danier.com

Fuck, I MUST have this jacket.

I even like the hoodie.

 

[Slackbladder]

Bomber jackets are okay, but in the UK they are associated with skinheads who are associated with the far-right/neo-nazis. At least that was the case when I was a kid in the 70's. Maybe it's changed now.

 

[Krixeus]

I associate bombers with ska kids and skinheads.

Not to mention Spider-Man villains

 

[Desperado]

What is this and where can I get it?

 

[nitewulf]

that's a hipster, you can find him in Brooklyn.

SchottNYC stuff is expensive, it's authentic cowhide and handmade and yaddi yadda. But the style, which is "motoracer" or "club racer" isn't exclusive to Schott, the Schott I just got this fall. I also have a old faux leather one from Zara, in green which looks fantastic as well and always gets me compliments.

Like this:

This one's nice in a similar style:

Shop around, you should find one in your budget, if not real leather, go for faux leather.
