Varsity Bomber Jackets You'll Be Glad You Found

The varsity bomber has spent years being done badly and most men know it. Too costume-y, too literal, too much like you raided a prop department. The good ones though sit in a completely different category. They wear like a proper outerwear piece, work over a simple tee or a crewneck, and bring a relaxed confidence to an outfit that more serious jackets simply cannot. We've been selective here because the category rewards selectivity. Fit matters more than almost anything else with this jacket. Wear it too big and it reads like nostalgia. Wear it right and it reads like taste. We've been looking at versions where the wool body and leather sleeve ratio feels considered rather than exaggerated, and where the rib trim sits close without pulling. Color combinations that add something without announcing themselves. These are the ones that make you look like you knew exactly what you were doing when you bought them.
