A lightweight bomber for men who want an easy everyday jacket
If you searched for a belted mens brown leather bomber jacket, we want to be upfront about what this jacket is and is not. This is a thin, solid color bomber-style jacket made from polyester. It has a ribbed baseball collar, a full zipper and ribbed cuffs and hem. It does not have a belt, and it is not leather.
We would rather tell you that now than have you find out when the box arrives. All sales are final, so the details matter.
What you do get is a simple, tidy jacket that you can zip up and wear without thinking about it. It is short, light and casual, and it sits well over a tee, a polo or a thin sweater. The price is $69 with free shipping to the US.
Why it works for men who like a clean, simple jacket
This jacket suits a man who wants something that looks put together but does not take effort. There is no hardware to fuss with and no belt to tie. You zip it and go.
The ribbed baseball collar
The collar is a ribbed stand-up style, often called a baseball collar. It sits close to the neck and has a neat, sporty line. It also means you do not have to deal with a flipped or floppy lapel.
Because the collar is knit-style ribbing, it keeps its shape against the neck and adds a little structure on a jacket that is otherwise thin and soft.
The full zipper and ribbed trim
The center zipper opens fully, so the jacket is easy to put on and take off. You can wear it zipped to the collar on a cool morning or open when the day warms up.
The cuffs and hem are ribbed too. That trim gives the sleeves and bottom edge a snug finish, so the jacket keeps a tidy bomber outline instead of hanging open at the wrists and waist.
The listing calls the jacket short and loose, with a solid color finish. Our photos show a clean, hip-length shape. Please read the size section below before you choose.
Fabric and feel
The shell is polyester, and the listing describes it as thin. The lining material is listed as 100% polyester. That is all we can confirm about the fabric. We do not have a stated stretch, water resistance or fabric weight, so we will not guess at them.
From the photos, the surface is smooth with a slight sheen, and the jacket looks light rather than padded. Think of it as a layer for mild weather, not a winter coat. The listing says it is suitable for four seasons, and the title points to spring and autumn. In practice, a thin polyester jacket works best when the weather is cool but not cold. In deep winter you would need to wear it over a sweater or under a heavier coat.
Polyester is a practical fabric for a casual jacket. It generally resists wrinkles and dries faster than many natural fabrics. It also is not leather, so it will not have the weight, grain or aging of a real leather bomber. If you want the look of brown leather specifically, this is not that jacket.
The listing notes no high-concern chemicals.
Care instructions
The listing does not include a care label, so these are general tips for a thin polyester jacket. Check the label inside your jacket when it arrives and follow it first.
- Zip the jacket fully before washing so the teeth do not snag the fabric.
- Wash on a gentle cycle in cool water, or hand wash for a longer life.
- Skip bleach and fabric softener, which can dull the surface.
- Hang it to dry, or use a low heat setting if the label allows it.
- Keep it away from direct high heat such as an iron on a hot setting. If you need to smooth it out, use a cool setting and a cloth between the iron and the jacket.
The ribbed collar, cuffs and hem can stretch out if they are pulled hard when wet, so lift the jacket gently rather than wringing it.
Size guide
The jacket is offered in sizes S, M, L and XL.
How to measure
The supplier has not published a size chart for this jacket, so the best method is to compare it to a jacket you already own and like.
- Lay your favorite jacket flat and zip it up.
- Measure straight across the chest, just under the armpits, then double that number for the full chest.
- Measure from the base of the collar at the back to the bottom of the hem for the length.
- Measure the sleeve from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
Write these numbers down and compare them to the chart shown on this page when it is available. If a number is missing, do not guess. Send us a message before you order and we will help you work through it.
Which size should I choose?
The listing calls the jacket loose, but our photos show a slim, hip-length cut. Those two descriptions do not match perfectly, and the missing chart means we cannot say for certain how it will fit your build.
Here is how we would think about it:
- If you like a jacket that sits close with a tailored look, and your measurements land between two sizes, the smaller size is the safer bet for that look.
- If you plan to wear a sweater or hoodie under it, go with the larger size.
- If you are between sizes and want room to move, choose the larger one. The ribbed cuffs and hem will still hold the shape.
- If you are tall or have a long torso, pay close attention to the length measurement, since this is a short jacket.
Because all sales are final for fit or change of mind, take a few minutes with a tape measure. It is the best way to get the right size.
How to style it
A bomber is one of the easiest jackets to wear, and this one is plain enough to go with most of what is already in your closet.
With jeans and a tee. This is the simplest outfit and it works. A white or gray tee, dark jeans and clean sneakers, with the jacket zipped halfway.
With chinos. For a business casual look, wear it over a collared shirt or a fine knit polo with chinos and loafers or leather sneakers. The solid color and the neat collar keep it tidy.
With a hoodie or sweater. On colder days, layer a thin sweater underneath. Choose a size that leaves a little room if you plan to do this often.
Picking a color. Sky blue is the first color offered, and black is also available. Black is the easiest to match with everything. Sky blue is lighter and fits spring well. Some other colors are listed under supplier names, so check the color selector and photos to see exactly what you are choosing. We do not currently show a confirmed brown option, so if brown is a must for you, this may not be the jacket.
Where else you can wear it
The listing gives shopping as the suggested use, and that fits. It is a good errands jacket: light enough to carry or tie around you, and smart enough that you will not feel underdressed.
It also works in a few other places:
- Travel days. A thin jacket packs flat and handles chilly planes and early mornings.
- Casual office days. With chinos and a collared shirt, it can pass as business casual.
- Weekend outings. Coffee, a walk, a casual dinner or a trip to the ballpark.
- Spring and fall layering. Put it over a tee in mild weather, or under a heavier coat once it gets cold.
