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?

 

[torre_avenue]

I have one. I like it. Mine is less "puffy" than the one in the picture, but I like wearing it though it serves no real functional purpose other than looking cool.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

I think that looks pretty terrible, to be honest.

But I'm not a fan of clothes that appear baggy or ill-fitting. Plus it sort of looks like you're trying too hard to appear bigger in the upper body.

Yay for me. I own the one similar to one you posted, I also own this:

Great jacket.

I do like this though, damn nice jacket.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

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

 

[Miker]

They only look good if they have a scorpion on the back.

 

[EVOL 100%]

They're massively played out in my country(Korea).

Everybody and everybody's mother wears them so they're boring to me, but they're okay and inoffensive

 

[Yuuichi]

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.

Brand?

 

[Get'sMad]

why does the back of that OP one look like a sagging pair of ass cheeks?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Brand?

Danier. A lot of their stores shut down sadly, but they're making a comeback.

www.danier.com (EDIT: Website is down, seems like restructuring happening).

Bought it on Christmas sale for $150 Canadian some 3 years ago, still looks great.

 

[Abounder]

Yay for brown/black leather and a set of aviators. WW2 Pilot look is classic.

 

[Kayhan]

Nay.

 

[SolarPowered]

I just got a Navy Blue Tommy Hilfiger bomber jacket today and the fit is better than any other jacket I've ever tried. Aside from that one I've got a brown leather bomber with a shear collar, but I'd like to get a slim version of the jacket in your OP. They're very versatile imo.

 

[mavo]

Yes, don't even think about it.

 

[Geist-]

I like some bomber jackets but that one specifically looks terrible.

 

[Snakeyes]

Much like peacoats a few years ago, they're a lesser-known but classic piece of outerwear that caught on and is getting played out. Nothing wrong with having one, though.

 

[Very Berry Sunday]

I hope Maroon is a good color. I thought about exchanging the color to Replica Blue, but it will cost me around $10 to ship back Maroon MA-1 to where I purchased it.

 

[tekumseh]

Were you part of a bomber crew? If, yes, then yes. If no, then no...

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

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.

Link me to this exact jacket.

 

[MBR]

The pics in OP reminds me of middle school bullies.
Goes good with a shaved head, but nonetheless makes you look like an asshole IMO.

Site is down. Would love to buy this if it's available anywhere online.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Yay, depends on the type tho. Not a huge fan of the bomber jacket in the OP. Is that an Alpha Industries one? They tend to have these huge crappy ribbons on their zippers.

 

[InfiniteBento]

Alpha Industries is fucking dope

 

[nephilimdj]

Only if you live in Netherlands and go to Gabber raves

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Link me to this exact jacket.

Here's the link from their Pinterest, which leads to their (dead, for now) store:

They're pretty active on Twitter, and posted this about the website.

[QuantumSquid]

How about field jackets?

 

[Ether_Snake]

Yes they are great. Most people don't know a nice one from an ugly one or don't know how to wear them. Don't listen to people here saying you'll look like a skinhead or whatever.

I don't like the Alpha Industries personally, prefer something cleaner.

 

[otapnam]

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.

That's more of a motorcycle jacket isn't it?

 

[Blastoise]

why do people by jackets with fake hoodies sewn in?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

That's more of a motorcycle jacket isn't it?

Nah, it's still considered bomber jacket. You're also technically correct, I suppose.

why do people by jackets with fake hoodies sewn in?

LOL! You talking about the one I posted? The hoodie is zipped in and can be removed.

 

[FStop7]

Yay. Love them. Really want a Fear of God bomber.

 

[curiouscharles]

bomber jackets always have been, and always will be... awesome.

[these don't go out of style, only out of "trend" maybe - but ignore trends you'll be better off]

try and find something that isn't so puffy as the one in your post OP, there's lots of low to mid range brands out there ripping off the ultimate Rick Owens versions that will do you just fine.

 

[spolle]

Yes. Bomber jacket: in, Moto jacket: out

 

[Syf]

Yay, though I don't like the one in the OP at all.

 

[Straight Edge]

MA-1 is the way to go.

 

[nitewulf]

Hell yes, but not the one you posted. The classic WW2 bomber is the way to go. I have this in brown:

 

[Already Torn]

Nah. Wrinkles are ugly.

 

[Frozenprince]

This thread is like Slayven crack.

Anyway hell yeah, Bomber Jackets are dope as fuck, I need to buy a new one.

 

[nel e nel]

They only look good if they have a scorpion on the back.

I prefer my Sega Dreamcast one.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Yes. Bomber jacket: in, Moto jacket: out

Not really.

 

[OldMan]

Yes but show me a bomber jacket I haven't seen. Seriously, I just made a coat thread in search for a new one http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1325511

Best regards,

OM

 

[HoodWinked]

they're about as cool as letterman jackets

 

[Very Berry Sunday]

Alpha Industries MA-1 Bomber jacket like the one in OP, these can be worn in the rain right?

 

[Frozenprince]

I wish Trench Coat's hadn't been co-opted by the cringfest crowd and, well, crazy people.

They are stylish as hell when done right:

 

[Dancing Queen]

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.

Fuck me. Link for the online store please.

Looks like an anime Nazi tbh

After consideration I also like the jacket everyone is quoting, despite generally preferring athletic gear.

 

[Rushersauce]

Oh man, I need this jacket

 

[Reg]

We all want that jacket!!

We all want that jacket!!

Which makes me sad.

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

 

[Fox318]

Hell yes, but not the one you posted. The classic WW2 bomber is the way to go. I have this in brown:

I have one as well. It's fantastic.
