The bomber is one of the most classic jackets there is, and a good choice for a slow-fashion wardrobe or a capsule collection — a front zip, a ribbed collar, ribbed cuffs and hem drawing it in at the wrist and waist. It goes from casual to something near smart without changing anything about itself, which is what earns it the space.
Ours is made in Italy in black vegan suede, with a soft brushed surface and a matt finish that keeps the shape quiet rather than sharp. It's lined in Italian-made viscose, smooth enough that the jacket goes on over a knit or a shirt without dragging, and the drape of the lining is part of why it falls the way it does rather than sitting stiff. The ribbing at the collar, cuffs and hem is cotton, so it has some give and holds its shape rather than stretching out.
The front fastens with a single Italian metal zip, and there are two zipped pockets set into the front at the hip plus a slip pocket inside. It's finished with cotton WVS labelling.
Wear it over a white tee with straight or wide-leg jeans and white trainers, or over a fine knit with tailored trousers and loafers when you want it a shade smarter. It also works over a midi dress with ankle boots, the ribbed hem keeping the volume in check at the waist. It's a jacket that sits between casual and smart, so what you put under it decides which way it reads.
