  • If ISIS Wore Bombers Rather Than Were Bombers

    Nike Lab x James Lavelle: Available at Haven – $700 CAD ($563 USD) Haven describes it as a bomber / varsity hybrid.  Talks about the lustre of polyester, supple wool blend, and premium tumbled cow leather.  Are the cows tumbled (tipped?) or is the leather tumbled after the fact?  Kidding fam.  I feel like I…

  • Many MA-1 Pockets Raising Many Questions With No Answers

    Phenomenon Tokyo comes through with the MA-1 bomber, with a twist: LOL yea 16 pockets on the back alone, and it looks like there are side pockets too.  So much for just having the MA-1 Bomber classic, one on the arm.  You’ll full on need a second person to help you retrieve stuff from your…

I don’t like how McQueen deviated from the original MA-1 bomber jacket design with the collar.  The stand up collar…

  • Burberry Nappa Leather Down-Filled Bomber Jacket
