Many leather bomber jackets for
men are based on the design of the A-2 leather flight jackets that were so
popular in World War 2. These jackets were worn by Air Force pilots,
bombardiers and navigators during the War and tended to be decorated on the
back with squadron patches made elaborately to look like artwork. These types of jackets were also referred to
as a 'bomber jacket' and were originally designed as a jacket for Pilots,
although as previously stated their usage during the war was not limited to
just pilots and bomber crew members.
Leather
bomber jacket mens can now be brought from various
establishments including many online stores. However, online stores tend to
have the largest selection as they offer a variety of bomber jackets made from
leather and other materials. Bomber jackets make a real fashion statement as
they have been made famous by Hollywood Actors such as John Wayne, Gregory Peck
and Tom Cruise and featured in such Hollywood films as The Great Escape. The
Last Stand and Top Gun. Leather bomber jackets are often worn by people who
ride motorcycles, but they also make a great fashion statement when worn on
casual occasions and at parties. The bomber jacket has also graced the
Presidential wardrobe in the last decade or so, with both George Bush and
Barrack Obama seen wearing them at various military installations.
Another fashionable leather
garment is the leather gilet, a winter garment that can also be worn in
moderate weather. This sleeveless jacket can be worn by both men and women, and
come in a variety of colours, designs and materials. Deerskin is a popular
material for womens
leather Gilet as it is very soft as well as being a highly protective
body warmer. The gilet design with no sleeves works well when worn over thin
garments as it can help to reduce the heat a person feels when worn in warmer
weather. Leather Gilets for women are really popular amongst sports enthusiasts
who participate in shooting, archery and cycling as it allows for freedom of
movement, but it is mainly worn as a fashion item in combination with various
other items in a ladies wardrobe.
Gilets tend to be either waist or
knee length, and are usually fitted in style with straight sides. Traditionally
Gilets were padded and embroidered, and more like a waistcoat for men. However
in the contemporary world of today, a Gilet is considered a wardrobe essential
for anyone who wishes to look fashionable. If you are lucky enough to own a
leather Gilet, you will see that over the years the leather becomes soft and
shiny, and can last for many decades (if well looked after). The original
design of the Gilet is unchanged, and you will hardly notice any difference to
its original shape, although the materials it is made from have changed.
