Men's Bomber Jackets
Bomber jackets. A wardrobe essential unless you quite like being cold. Ours are cut clean, lined properly and built to last. The sort of jacket you can throw on for a flight, a night or just the walk to the corner shop. Percival makes jackets because we love jackets. The craft, the quality, the details that keep you coming back. This season? Bomber, perfected.
How to Style a Bomber Jacket for Every Season
A men’s bomber jacket is the rare piece that never clocks off. Cool in spring, reliable in winter, and always relevant. It is the jacket that refuses to go out of style, probably because it never tried too hard to be in fashion to begin with. Think of Ryan Gosling in Drive, that satin bomber catching the light, silent, stylish, slightly unbothered. The same energy applies here. Ours swap scorpion embroidery for tailored cuts and refined fabrics, but the mood is the same. Wear it over a hoodie in autumn, a knitwear in winter, and tee or a shirt when you are pretending to be sensible. The Flight Bomber Jacket is made from a premium Nylon blend with enough structure to work across seasons. It looks right whether you are heading to work, the pub, or somewhere that turns into both. For further help on this matter we did make a whole blog which basically is a cheat sheet so feel free to check out our Men’s Bomber Jackets Styling Guide.
The Best Colours for Men’s Bomber Jackets
Bomber colour choice says more about you than your Spotify Wrapped. The Forest Green Bomber Jacket gives that quiet confidence, smart but offbeat, like someone who listens to King Krule. The Navy Bomber Jacket is your all-rounder, as dependable as a Sunday fry-up and twice as satisfying. Then there is the Tan Varsity Jacket, a touch of vintage attitude with a nod to seventies football terraces and record-shop Saturdays. Each shade brings its own character but all sit squarely in Percival’s universe of refined cool. To understand how this jacket earned its cult status, take a scroll through The History of the Bomber Jacket.
Mastering the Art of Layering a Bomber Jacket
Layering is where the magic happens. A tee and bomber for the minimalist. A knitted sweater or hoodie underneath for those who fancy a bit of Scandi layering energy. The trick is keeping the balance. The bomber’s cropped fit means it works perfectly with straight leg trousers, denim jeans, or even track pants if you are leaning into that Britpop nonchalance. Our Navy Bomber Jacket pairs neatly with dark denim and trainers, while the Forest Green version looks sharp with some penny loafers and a pint in hand. The key is effort that looks like none at all, which is basically Percival’s whole gig.
The Different Types of Bomber Jackets Explained
Not every bomber tells the same story. The Flight Bomber Jacket is where it all began. Born in the cockpits of the Second World War, cut short so it would not snag on the seat, ribbed at the cuffs and waist to hold in warmth. The Black Flight Leather Jacket carries those original design details but adds a refined shape and premium leather. It is heritage that feels modern, built for city streets rather than airbases.
The Varsity Jacket swaps aviation grit for collegiate cool. Originally worn by American athletes to show off their team letters, it still has the ribbed trims and short cut but trades patches for subtlety.
Then comes the Nylon Bomber, the everyday workhorse. Constructed from a water-resistant, premium nylon outer with recycled filling and lining. Quilted interior with multiple traditional bomber pockets. Designed with a zippered and buttoned front, elasticated cuffs and waistband, and a ribbed collar. The Flight Bomber Jacket takes it a step further, adding soft internal wadding for insulation without the bulk.
All share the bomber’s signature DNA, from the elasticated edges to the short length and boxy shape. The difference is in the mood. Leather for confidence, varsity for charm, nylon for versatility. Three icons, one unmistakably Percival attitude.
