Women's Bomber leather jackets

The bomber has quietly become the leather jacket people reach for most. Ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, a straight body, and no hardware anywhere near your face. It does everything a biker does without the lapels sitting open across your chest.

Why a bomber suits more people than a biker

A biker jacket follows the waist and opens wide at the top, which works beautifully on some shapes and fights with others. A leather bomber jacket women buy is cut straight through the body, so it skims rather than grips, and the ribbed hem holds it in place without needing a belt. It also goes over a thick jumper, which a fitted biker will not.

Length matters more than size

A bomber finishes at the hip bone. That is short enough to work with high waisted jeans and long enough to cover you sitting down. If you want shorter, our cropped jackets stop at the waist. Longer, and you are into coat territory.

Black, brown and tan

Black is the first one most women buy and it goes with everything. Brown and tan have been selling harder these last two seasons and look warmer against most skin tones. A suede bomber is softer again and right for September and October rather than deep winter.

How it should fit

Roomier than a biker by design. Get the shoulder right and the rest follows, because a bomber that is too big in the body still looks intentional but one that is too big in the shoulder never does. The sleeve should end at your wrist with the rib taking the last inch.

Measure round the fullest part of your bust over a light top and compare it with the table on the product page rather than assuming your usual size.

Made to order, and how long it takes

Womens, ladies or female leather bomber jacket

Three ways of saying the same thing, and people use all of them. A womens leather bomber jacket, a ladies leather bomber jacket and a female leather bomber jacket all mean this cut. Some shops list it the other way round as a bomber leather jacket womens style. It is the same jacket.

A womens leather bomber coat usually means something longer than a true bomber, finishing below the hip rather than on it. If you want that length, our longer coats cover it.

Cut and stitched in your size after you order, which is why it takes longer than ready made stock and why the fit is closer.
