The bomber jacket is a men’s jacket inspired by the armed forces, similar to other timeless classics like the trench coat and parka jacket that were also army inspired.
The jacket was seen by many well known famous celebrities such as Tom Cruise in Top Gun and Steve McQueen, which led to the bomber jacket becoming very popular. Well known to be worn in the iconic skinhead era and was loved in the Britains by many brits, this jacket works well for whatever style you’re going for and has a great history too.
Peacoats
The peacoat is perfect for winter and, worn in many wardrobes across the country, has a unique history. Similar to the bomber jacket, the peacoat is military-inspired. It was invented by the Camplin family, who supplied the Royal Navy in Britain, and was the uniform worn in World War II.
The peacoat worn today is still very similar to the coats worn in the navy and has not been altered or changed much. This timeless classic was first worn by sailors during the 1880s and has a naval heritage. Worn by famous well-known celebrities such as Daniel Craig, the peacoat came into the modern fashion trend and is now known as a unique vintage classic loved by many and seems to be here to stay!
