Historical reference
Today the jacket is made of various materials: leather, wool, synthetics, etc. It is fastened with a zipper, decorated with bright inserts, cuffs and an elastic band at the bottom. Thanks to this, it is convenient and comfortable to wear. There are models with a high collar, but most of them lack such an element.
Let's try to figure out where this style came from and what is the history of bombers. Who has worn them before? The creators are the Douglas brothers, who opened an aeroclub in the United States in the 1930s. Their design was intended to protect tourists from the cold and high winds that they encounter in flight.
Advice! Choose a copy according to your habits. If you are adhering to the official business direction, then refrain from buying with bright prints, rhinestones and embroidery. Instead, opt for discreet pieces in leather, leatherette or satin, with a quilted structure and a zip.
Later, the government found out about the innovative invention and ordered a huge batch for the Ministry of Defense. A leather jacket with a modified design was intended for bomber pilots, so they began to call it bomber.
The first windbreakers were sewn from horse hide, but twenty years later the brothers had to improve the design again, because the aircraft had changed. Now they were made from nylon. The lining was of bright orange fabric and could serve as a signal beacon in case the pilot crashed. After a hard landing, all he had to do was turn it inside out, secure it in a conspicuous place and wait for help.
Appearance among students and fashionistas
Young people also did not stand aside and showed considerable interest in leather jackets of this cut. Gradually, options have emerged designed for high school students, university students and just for everyday wear. The peculiarity was that it was sewn from woolen cloth. Students at Harvard University wore it for the first time as their primary school uniform.
The fashion for them very quickly spread throughout America. It was generally accepted that not only athletes, but also academically successful students chose her. Thanks to this, he was remembered as a symbol of prosperity, popularity and a certain elite among American youth. By the way, in parallel with this, they became a trend among young people in European countries.
Recommendation! Wash your bomber jacket according to its composition. Woolen ones require a particularly delicate effect, since pellets can form on the surface, the color can wash out, which will not have a positive effect on your appearance.
Twenty years later, the fair sex also began to use these clothes. No, female models were still not developed by this time. Girls simply borrowed leather jackets from their boyfriends and wore them, over their uniforms. In the 80s of the last century, anyone could purchase it, regardless of their gender or affiliation with a university football team.
The first female exhibits appeared only in 2000. Almost immediately they were banned in the Russian Federation, since they were used by many subcultures, including skinheads. The latter used only black leatherette leather jackets. Any kind of such jackets were banned in educational institutions and even for daily wear. Other members of the subcultures that fell in love with these jackets were ravers and rockers.
Modern modifications
On the global network, you can find many photos of women's jackets that differ in their design, colors and additional details. The first windbreakers of this type began to be presented at shows since 2013.This is partly due to:

Elastic band at the bottom allows for a snug fit to the hem and prevents blowing in windy conditions.
Note! Do not try to replicate the outfits of celebrities who wear such leather jackets and post photos with them on Instagram. Think over your own unique kit and then the success and attention of others are guaranteed.
Others chose a lighter nylon jacket with delicate lace inserts and stylish embroidery on the sleeves and back. Simple design, bright colors, cuffs and reliable fittings conquered fashionistas all over the world. World celebrities, for example, Gwen Stefani, Irina Shayk, Madonna, Emma Watson and many others, did not stand aside.
