We all feel it. The air outside is starting to get a nip early in the morning, and you know what that means: it’s layering season! But what to wear? Cardigans come and go, but you can never steer wrong with a leather jacket. If you’re wanting to spice up your layering game this season, here’s the key: bomber jackets.
Bomber jackets, also called A-2 flight jackets, originated purely from need. Fighter pilots during WWII needed a sustainable jacket to keep them protected from the high-altitude weather, while also being mobile enough to accommodate plane operation. Insert Leslie Irvin, the man accredited with designing the first sheepskin flight jacket, and the rest is history.
