A zip up mens brown leather bomber jacket with a vintage pilot look
This is a pilot-style bomber with a leather-look finish and a cream shearling-style collar. It is the kind of jacket that makes a plain tee and jeans look like a decision. If you want a zip up mens brown leather bomber jacket that nods to old aviator jackets without costing a fortune, this one is built for that.
The outer is a PU leather-look material, not genuine leather. That keeps the price at $139 and keeps the care simple. The photos show seams and panels across the body that give it an aged, vintage character, and the fur-style trim sits at the collar, with the hem and cuffs finished in matching trim on the main version.
One thing to know up front: the product photos show brown and rust tones, and one photo also shows a black version. The color options in our listing are Beige and Khaki. Please check the color selector on this page before you order, and treat the photos as a guide to the style rather than a guarantee of the exact shade.
Why it works for men who want a classic bomber with some warmth
This jacket suits a man who likes a defined, retro silhouette and wants something suited to colder months. It is cut slim, it has a real collar to turn up against the wind, and it zips fully open and closed, so it is easy to throw on at the door.
The collar and trim
The cream shearling-style collar is the main feature. It frames the face, adds contrast against the darker body, and gives the neck some coverage when the temperature drops. The listing describes it as a fur collar, and the photos show a soft, cream-colored finish. The jacket has a turn-down collar and no hood, so the collar is the part that does the work around your neck.
On the main version shown in our photos, the cuffs and the hem carry the same cream trim. That repeated detail ties the look together and gives it the classic aviator feel.
The zip, strap and pockets
The front closes with a zipper along the full length of the jacket. On the version in the lead photo there is also a belted strap across the front and a buckled hem at the waist, which gives the jacket more structure and a slightly military feel. Slanted front pockets sit at the sides, a handy spot for your hands or a phone.
Our gallery shows a few variations of this bomber design. One has ribbed cuffs and hem, a zip pocket on the sleeve and patches. Another has chest flap pockets, a ribbed hem and wing patches, though that one is shown in black. Because details differ from photo to photo, look closely at the gallery image that matches what you want, and write to us before ordering if a particular detail matters to you.
Fabric and feel
The listing gives the outer as a PU leather-look material. The specification lists cotton and polyester as materials, with a cotton lining. It does not give fabric percentages, and we will not guess at them. The listing title calls it a thicker winter jacket, and the specification rates the thickness as standard. In practice, expect a jacket that suits autumn and winter and can take a sweater underneath, rather than a heavy parka.
We do not have a stated stretch rating, a waterproof rating or an insulation weight, so we will not claim any. If you live somewhere properly cold, plan to layer. If your winters are mild, this will probably carry you through on its own with a long-sleeve shirt or a light knit.
The finish is solid in color with no printed pattern. Leather-look material generally has a smooth surface that can show creases and scuffs over time, which suits the vintage styling here.
Care instructions
No care label details came with the listing, so check the label inside the jacket when it arrives and follow it first. These are sensible general habits for leather-look jackets:
- Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and let it air dry.
- Keep it away from direct heat such as radiators and hair dryers.
- Hang it on a wide hanger so the shoulders hold their shape.
- Spot-clean the collar trim gently and let it dry fully before you store it.
- Avoid packing it tightly for long periods, which can leave hard creases.
Size guide
We offer this jacket in US sizes XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL.
No size chart has been published for this jacket, so we cannot give you exact chest or sleeve numbers. The source listing uses Asian sizing, which often runs smaller than US sizing, and the garment cut is slim. Take your own measurements and compare them with the chart above if it shows measurements for your size.
How to measure
Use a soft tape measure and measure over a thin shirt, not over bulky clothing.
- Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms and across your shoulder blades. Keep it level and snug but not tight.
- Shoulders: Measure straight across the back from one shoulder edge to the other.
- Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder edge down to your wrist bone, with your arm slightly bent.
- Length: Measure from the base of your neck down to where you want the hem to sit.
For the best comparison, lay a bomber jacket you already own and like flat, and measure it chest to chest and shoulder to shoulder. That tells you more than a general size label does.
Which size should I choose?
Because the jacket is a slim fit and the chart is not published, here is how we would think about it:
- If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one. A slim bomber that is too tight across the chest and shoulders is hard to wear, while a slightly roomy one still looks right.
- If you plan to wear a thick sweater or hoodie underneath, size up.
- If you have broad shoulders or a muscular build, size up.
- If you like a very close, trim look and will only wear a tee underneath, your usual US size may be enough.
All sales are final, with no returns or exchanges for fit, so take a few minutes with a tape measure before you order. If you are unsure, message us with your measurements and we will help you choose.
How to style it
A bomber like this does best with simple pieces around it. The jacket has plenty going on already, with the collar, the seams and the hardware.
- Casual daily: Wear it over a white or gray tee with dark jeans and boots. This is the easiest way to wear a zip up mens brown leather bomber jacket, and it works almost every time.
- Warmer layers: Add a crewneck sweater or a hooded sweatshirt underneath for colder days. Remember to size up if you want this look.
- Dressed a little: Wear it with a plain shirt, chinos and leather shoes. The cream collar adds some interest, so keep the rest quiet.
- Colors: Browns and creams pair well with navy, olive, charcoal, black and white. Avoid stacking too many brown pieces, which can flatten the outfit.
- Shoes: Boots, leather sneakers or clean white trainers all work.
Leave the front fully zipped on a cold day with the collar up. On a milder day, open it halfway and let the collar frame your shirt.
Where else you can wear it
This jacket is listed for daily wear in autumn and winter, and it fits plenty of ordinary situations:
- Commuting: The full zip and the pockets make it practical for the walk to work or the train.
- Weekend errands and coffee runs: It goes over almost anything and looks pulled together without effort.
- Dinners and bars: The vintage styling reads a little sharper than a standard puffer or windbreaker.
- Travel: It makes a good outer layer for airports and cool destinations, as long as you layer for the temperature.
- Casual events: Concerts, football games with a cold evening kickoff, and relaxed get-togethers all suit it.
It is not made for heavy rain or deep winter weather on its own, so choose another layer for those days.

Frequently asked questions
Is this real leather?
No. The listing describes it as a PU leather-look jacket. It looks like leather, with a smooth finish and a vintage feel, but it is not genuine leather. The specification lists cotton and polyester as materials and a cotton lining.
What colors does it come in?
The color options on our listing are Beige and Khaki. The photos show brown and rust tones, and one image includes a black version that we do not list. Check the color selector on this page and ask us if you want to confirm a shade before ordering.
Is the collar real fur?
The listing calls it a fur collar, and the photos show a cream shearling-style finish. The material is not specified in the supplied details, so we cannot say what it is made of. If that matters to you, ask us before you buy.
Is it warm enough for winter?
It is made for autumn and winter, and the listing title describes it as a thicker jacket, but the specification rates the thickness as standard. It has a cotton lining and a collar that protects your neck. For very cold weather, plan to wear a sweater or thermal layer underneath, and size up to leave room for it.
Can I return it if it does not fit?

Because no size chart is published, we recommend measuring yourself, comparing with a jacket you own, and contacting us if you are unsure.
