The naming ceremony of the jacket was very appropriate as per the situation.

Design of the leather bomber jackets
The design of the jacket is unique and very comfortable. As already mentioned above, they are loose as compared to other tight-fit leather jackets. The jacket has a loose fit around the chest and the body area that helps you to turn and bend comfortably with them on. Even, the sleeves are long for the same reason.

Even, the cuffs on the leather bomber jackets have snaps to make them snug. Otherwise, some people prefer plain cuffs. You will never find zippered cuffs in the bomber jackets.
The collar on the leather bomber jacket is like other jackets i.e. the normal classic type that you can lift to protect your face in the bad weather. In case you find something else, you should enquire about the same with the seller. The collar design is almost the same for all the leather bomber jackets.
People often get confused between the bomber jacket and biker jacket; according to them, both are somewhat the same. Traditionally, they were used as a replacement for one another. But today, there is one major point that differentiates between the two. The bomber jackets do not have air vents but the biker jackets have.
The front look of the jacket is not the same for all. You will find a zipper opening, snaps buttons, or a combination of both. In case they are combined, the jackets will have a zipper with a flap over it snap buttons. If you wish to use the leather bomber jackets as formal or semi-formal wear (commonly, it is worn casually), you should flap and go just with a zipper opening.

Tips to buy the right leather bomber jacket
It’s easy to decide upon the style and colour, but detecting the right quality and durability of the leather is very difficult. In case the leather quality is not good, your investment on the jacket will not be worth it.
You should touch and feel the leather– The good quality and genuine leather jacket will be rough and you will find some small particles when you will run your hand over it. In case the leather is smooth, it means it is not genuine or is mixed with other elements. You might like the finish but it will not be durable due to additional blend.
Check the finish of the jacket– You always want a dress that is perfectly stitched and has a smooth finish. But, you will not find this in a genuine leather jacket. The corners will be rough and the finish will not be perfect. It’s because genuine leathers are not so easy to twist and turn.
This is a short yet useful guide for you to know about a leather bomber jacket. Now, do not wait and get one for you soon and flaunt your style, even in winters.
