Black Friday Bomber Jackets
The bomber is the shortest jacket that still counts as outerwear. Ribbed collar, cuff and hem, zip up the front, stopping at the waist. Several lineages sit under the one name: the military flight jacket, the varsity, the harrington and the embroidered sukajan.

Black Friday bomber jackets: varsity, harrington and sukajan
The shapes sit close together and the difference is in the detail. A flight jacket is nylon, slightly blousy through the body, with a zip pocket on the sleeve. A varsity is heavier, with contrast sleeves and a snap front, and reads American college rather than air force. A harrington is the flattest of them, cotton, with a pointed collar and a checked lining, and comes out of British mod rather than either. A sukajan carries the embroidery, and the embroidery is the point of it.
Fit and layering in the Black Friday bomber sale
Because a bomber stops at the waist, it sits differently on everyone and fit matters more than it does on a longer jacket. Slim reads sharp and layers over very little. Relaxed and oversized carry a hoodie underneath without pulling at the hem. Our padded and quilted versions push the same shape into real winter, which is the one way a bomber gets genuinely warm. Black Friday jackets holds the longer cuts, and Black Friday sweats and hoodies is what these usually go over.
