The origin of the bomber jacket
The first bombers dating from the 1950s had a pocket on the sleeve and the colors were limited to navy blue and olive green. Over the years, the bomber style evolved. Initially, the bomber jacket had a green lining. It was later replaced by orange, notably to be visible from afar in case of accidents. This allowed immediate spotting of individuals in distress. Having become very popular among younger people, the American army ended up commercializing this jacket which became an icon in the fashion world. It is similar to leather jackets and other perfectos notably associated with bikers. It was popularized in cinema especially by actors Steve McQueen and Tom Cruise who restored the bomber’s reputation, which had once been bad and associated with the skinhead movement.
