Originated During The World Wars

During the world war, most planes were not equipped with closed cockpits and therefore the pilots would bear with freezing temperatures in high altitudes. These jackets were introduced so that they could keep the pilots warm and comfortable. These were first employed by the US army.

The very first designer of the bomber jackets was Leslie Irvin who made these jackets using sheepskin leather. In 1926 Leslie set up his company in the United Kingdom and was the main supplier of the jackets.

Entered The World Of Fashion

Later during WW2, the demand increased a lot and the company was not able to keep up with the increasing demands and therefore used subcontractors to match the demands.

The jackets were then made of different shapes and colors with many different designs as they slipped into the fashion world.
