The origin of the bomber jacket
The first bombers from the 50s featured a sleeve pocket, and colors were limited to navy blue and olive green. As the years went by, the bomber style evolved. Initially, the bomber jacket had a green lining. This was later replaced by orange, in particular to be visible in the distance in the event of an accident. This enabled people in distress to be spotted immediately. Having become so popular with the younger generation, the U.S. Army ended up marketing this jacket, which went on to become a fashion icon. It's akin to the leather jackets and perfectos associated with bikers. It was popularized in the cinema by actors such as Steve McQueen and Tom Cruise, who restored the reputation of the bomber, which once had a bad reputation and was associated with the skinhead movement. Today, Project X Paris is on trend with its updated line of bomber jackets.
