Every year, in the spring, the bomber makes its big comeback on the streets and on the catwalks and we still can't get enough of them. It must be said that this jacket has come a long way - originally it was part of the men's uniform of the American Air Force One and it was reserved for the military...until it fell victim to its success.
From leather to nylon
The first bomber (B-15) is in leather with a fur collar and it will quickly give way to the MA-1 in nylon with orange lining, knit collar and elastic at the waist - the one we know. On the strength of its success, the American army will bend under the pressure of fashion and Alpha Industries will decide to market the bomber. It is therefore high time to adopt his.
From classic to quirky
We definitely can't talk about bomber jackets without mentioning the Schott brand. who has made it even more iconic over the years. The model in collaboration with American College is very similar to the original bomber, especially with the lower flap pockets. Available in 4 colors, 175 euros.
In a very spring-like grey-green colour, the bomber jacket signed Chevignon has everything to please and its water-repellent material protects from the rain - a good point. Also available in navy blue, 245 euros.
TheObey brand bet on quilting with its black bomber jacket and we love the yellow rose in the back which recalls the color of the logo on the front of the jacket. The detail that does it all. $126.
At Carhartt this year, luxury is de rigueur:the bomber jacket has been revisited in suede, with a camel color that we like to wear in the spring. 599 euros.
Last but not least, Heineken teams up with artist Pablo Cots to pay tribute to the five countries that have marked its history - including France - and together create a capsule collection of sublime bombers, let it be said. Available in June at Colette.
