The bomber jacket is one of the most well known of mens jackets. The classic A2 bomber jacket was first issued to US pilots in 1931 and was used right throughout the second world war. It was so popular that it was reissued to pilots again by the air force in 1987.

Now you can dress him in a classic A2 bomber jacket made by the exact same manufacturer that makes them for pilots now. It looks great and it’s a fine birthday gift idea for a man who loves his tradition. Or perhaps a Christmas gift for a cold Christmas. He’ll love it.

A shell of French lambskin and a lining with 2 American flags embroidered on and the message “The nation salutes you” just like the real pilots.

It looks hot and it’s a classic.

Or, if the weather is too hot where you live and a leather jacket really isn’t practical because it’s going to be too hot to wear, how about a classic reproduction of the bomber jacket in cotton? A lightweight bomber jacket.

During the war pilots in the Pacific theatre of operations asked local tailors to create a jacket that was a copy of the classic bomber jacket but was more suitable to hotter conditions. These tailors created the classic cotton copy of the bomber jacket and this is it.

Made by the same manufacturer as the A2 leather bomber jacket, and also with the 2 US flags embroidered inside with the message to pilots, it’s a lightweight version that will make any man look good, in the summer.

Get to Hammacher Schlemmer to get them. When you arrive there search “jacket” in their search and you’ll see all their classic jackets, including the classic B-17 jacket with the skeepskin lining. Hot for cold weather.
