With a massive subcultural history in tow, the bomber jacket's timeless status is unquestioned. A constant focus of collections spanning the streetwear-luxury scale, the Bomber Jacket is a season-in, season-out staple of the highest order.
Since its repurposed popularity in the '50s, the bomber has been adopted by countless subcultures, from punk to hip hop, and yet still holds strong as one of the most popular casual items available. Almost every label has tried its hand at the bomber jacket and that’s another reason why it remains an essential wardrobe addition. With the MA-1 firmly on the mind, we picked out some of the best around right now.
From iconic pieces by Jil Sander to inventive takes on the style by Burberry, we're serving up one clear argument for why the bomber jacket might be the most versatile piece in your wardrobe this fall and way beyond.

Prada
Yes, yes, we all need more Prada in our lives. There are not that many Prada pieces in my rotation, but the clothing I have are grails — rare pieces ten years old that still look and feel as good as the day I bought them. I suspect the same will happen with this Prada plaque men's bomber jacket.
