Wear the Legacy: Introducing The Harris Bomber Jacket.
The Harris Bomber Jacket – a garment that effortlessly embodies the spirit of its storied lineage, while delivering the perfect piece to see you through the seasons. Crafted from 7oz 100% Cotton Broken Twill for the body, 100% cotton webbing tape, and 100% cotton rip-stop sleeve fabric, we have honoured the original designs while adding our own &SONS touch.
Originally known as 'flight jackets,' the ancestors of today's bomber jackets took to the skies in 1917, designed by the US Army Aviation Clothing Board to shield WWI pilots from the biting cold of open-air cockpits. The evolution of flight jacket design mirrored the progress of aviation, from the knit-waisted A-1 in 1927 to the iconic MA-1, setting a new standard for functional outerwear. It is regarded as one of the earliest designs to truly bridge the gap between military and civilian wear.
A future classic…Our Harris Bomber pays homage to this rich history, reimagining the classic with premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship. YKK zips, leather pullers, and thoughtfully designed pockets enhance its functionality. This is one of our most versatile jackets and can be easily paired with the rest of our collection. Layer over a shirt and elder during the cooler months and then simplify the outfit with a basic white T and chinos as the Spring arrives.
The Harris Bomber is an homage to the enduring spirit of adventure and is now available to buy.
