Mens Bomber Jackets in Mens Coats and Jackets

What is an open-bottom bomber jacket?

Traditional men's bomber jackets have knit hems that fit snugly at the waistline. An open-bottom bomber jacket is loose at the waistline and ends on the upper hip with a straight hemline. The longer hem on an open-bottom bomber jacket is suitable for people who are tall, long in the waist, or more substantial in the waist area.

Can you wear a trench coat in winter?

Trench coats are better suited to rainy days during milder seasons like spring and autumn. The lighter gabardine or cotton fabric of most trench coats is too heavy for hot summer days and too thin for frigid winter days. More appropriate choices for longer-length warm winter coats include insulated, water-repellent parkas, wool dress coats, or wool-blend top coats.

What's the difference between a field jacket and a bomber jacket?

Conventional bomber jackets have prominent shoulders, snug waistbands, and knit or stand-up collars. Bombers are made of leather or other heavy fabric and have two waist pockets and perhaps several smaller upper pockets. Field jackets are made of lighter fabrics like canvas or synthetic blends. A field jacket is loose and roomy with at least four ample pockets on the front of the jacket. Collars on field jackets hang loose but can be buttoned for a stand-up look. Most bomber jackets don't include hoods, while many field jackets include detachable or hidden hoods.
