The bomber jacket is one of those silhouettes that looks effortless when it fits right and slightly off when it doesn’t, and the ribbed hem is where most of it lives or dies. Too loose and the whole jacket bags out at the bottom. Too tight and it rides up the moment you move. When the ribbing is proportioned correctly it does what a good waistband should do, which is hold the shape of the jacket without announcing itself. We’ve been paying attention to bombers that get this detail right because it’s what separates a jacket that still looks good at the end of the day from one that looks slept in by noon. We’ve also been selective about outer fabrics, lining quality, and whether the collar sits flat without needing to be fussed with. A bomber should be the easiest thing you put on. These ones are.
