The Appeal of Women’s Varsity Bomber Jackets
The women's varsity bomber jacket is an iconic piece that never goes out of style. Initially designed as a symbol of team spirit, this jacket has become a fashion statement in its own right.
Key Features of the Women’s Varsity Bomber Jacket
- Wool and Leather: Our varsity bombers have a warm wool body with real leather sleeves, the classic varsity combination. The leather sleeves soften with wear and block the wind.
- Stylish Details: Ribbed cuffs, hem and collar, along with bold stripes and contrast colours, give these jackets a unique look.
- Easy to Layer: The varsity bomber suits transitional weather and pairs well with jeans, skirts and even dresses.
Why Choose a Varsity Bomber Jacket?
The varsity bomber has a youthful, sporty feel. It's a great way to add contrast to an outfit, especially in two colours like black and white.

Features of the B3 Sheepskin Bomber Jacket
For those who value both style and warmth, the B3 sheepskin bomber jacket is the warmest choice. First made for bomber crews in the 1930s and worn through WWII, it was built to withstand harsh conditions, making it as practical as it is stylish.
Benefits of the B3 Sheepskin Bomber Jacket
- Exceptional Warmth: The thick, fleecy lining provides excellent insulation on the coldest days. Our linings are faux shearling as standard, with real shearling available on request.
- Classic Design: A wide shearling collar, buckle straps and a fleecy trim give the B3 sheepskin bomber jacket a vintage look that’s both rugged and chic.
- Durability: Sheepskin leather is strong and gets softer with wear, making this jacket a long-lasting investment.
Perfect for Cold Weather
The B3 sheepskin bomber is not just about style; it’s designed to protect against cold weather. The thick lining and sturdy exterior make it a popular choice for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors in winter.

Brown Suede Bomber Jacket: A Classic Choice
A brown suede bomber jacket is understated and elegant. It brings a warm, earthy tone to your wardrobe for a more laid-back look.
Why Choose a Brown Suede Bomber Jacket?
- Soft Texture: Suede has a soft, velvety feel that’s comfortable and luxurious, and it adds texture to your outfit.
- Easy Colour: Brown pairs well with denim, cream, black and olive, so it’s a neutral jacket that still makes a statement.
- Ideal for Fall and Spring: The brown suede bomber jacket is lighter than a shearling bomber, which makes it great for cooler fall and spring days. Keep it away from heavy rain.
Styling Tips for a Brown Suede Bomber Jacket
Pair this jacket with jeans and a turtleneck for a cozy autumn look, or wear it over a floral dress to add a touch of edge to a feminine outfit. See more suede styles in our women's suede jackets.

Why the B3 Shearling Bomber Jacket Is So Popular
The B3 shearling bomber jacket is a luxurious take on the classic bomber, with a plush lining that gives serious warmth and a big, soft collar that frames the face. Its vintage military look also works with everyday clothes: pair it with slim-fit jeans and ankle boots for a balanced look that lets the jacket take centre stage.
A Look at Leather Bomber Jackets: Tan and Aviator Styles
Leather bomber jackets bring a sleek, edgy vibe to any outfit. The tan leather bomber jacket is a popular choice for those who want a neutral-toned jacket that can be easily dressed up or down, while the aviator leather bomber jacket offers a more classic, pilot-inspired look.
Leather Bomber Jacket Tan
The tan leather bomber suits those who prefer a softer, warmer hue. Tan leather pairs well with both casual and smarter outfits.

Styling Tips for Leather Bomber Jackets
Pair a tan leather bomber with dark jeans and a white tee for a casual look, or dress it up with slacks and a button-down shirt. The aviator leather bomber looks great with cargo pants and boots, channeling a rugged, outdoorsy vibe.
How Should a Bomber Jacket Fit a Woman?
A good fit is what makes a bomber look sharp rather than bulky. Check these points:
- Shoulders: the shoulder seam should sit on your natural shoulder line, unless you have chosen an oversized style on purpose.
- Length: a classic bomber ends at the waist or high hip, held by the ribbed hem. Cropped styles end at the natural waist and look best with high-waisted jeans, skirts or trousers.
- Sleeves: the ribbed cuffs should sit at the wrist bone without pulling up when you reach forward.
- Chest: you should be able to zip it up over a sweater without strain. If you plan to layer hoodies or chunky knits, allow more room.
- Oversized vs fitted: an oversized bomber looks relaxed over slim jeans or a mini skirt; a fitted one looks neater with tailored trousers or a dress.
Every jacket is made to order. Most styles come in XS to 5XL, and custom sizing is available, so measure your bust, waist and shoulders and compare them with our size guide.
