The jacket once designed for pilots is now a must-have for men

Every autumn and winter, many men have to worry about what to wear.

Besides formal attire, the best thing to show off your temperament is the jacket.

Every man should have a Stylish Jacket at least in his wardrobe

Among jackets, the most popular among men is the Flight Jacket.

How can you say you're fashionable if you don't own a bomber jacket yet?

Before choosing a flight jacket, you must first know its characteristics to make it easier to choose.

1. What is a flight jacket?

When you hear the name flight jacket, you can think of it as a garment designed for pilots in the past.

Because the pilots flying during World War I were still open-top machine gun type aircraft.

It will be very cold when flying at high speed with the body exposed, so flight jackets were designed for them

The original pilot's jacket was the A-1 leather jacket

The iconic design is the two large buckled pockets on the front of the jacket.

And its service time is extremely short. It can only be said that the A-1 version of the flight jacket is just a test product.

Following the experiment with the A-1 jacket, a second flight jacket was produced.

And this is the most famous A-2 leather jacket among bomber jackets.

After World War I, the United States began the development of aircraft carriers

Carrier-based aircraft pilots on aircraft carriers have greater needs for warmth.

Thus was born the upgraded version of A-2 G-1 leather jacket

Tom Cruise wore the G-1 jacket during the filming of the movie "Top Gun"

Later, several versions were improved one after another, and the one that continues to this day is the improved version of MA-1.

2. How to choose a jacket

Today’s bomber jackets are more than just practical warmth

We have also designed improvements in different materials, styles, etc.

Choosing a jacket that suits you will undoubtedly make you look more masculine

2.1. Material

Leather is not only the most common material, but also a weapon used by people in the past to prevent wind and keep warm.

Leather can be divided into a variety of fabrics. If the texture is the best, it is undoubtedly the first layer of cowhide.

If you are looking for fine fabrics, you can choose sheepskin. Sheepskin is also visually very high-end.

Of course, if you choose genuine leather fabrics, the price will definitely be very high.

If you are pursuing economy and practicality, you might as well choose an artificial leather fabric.

Nylon is what people call cotton fabric every day, and it is also a very widely used fabric.

Nylon fabric is elastic, wear-resistant and breathable, very strong and durable

The warmth retention is much worse than that of leather goods, but it is still no problem to resist the most basic trends.

When choosing nylon fabric, you should choose a jacket with a smooth surface texture to the touch.

If you are looking for warmth, you can also choose fabrics mixed with wool.

Silk satin is a material made from pure cotton fiber through exquisite processing.

This type of fabric has a smooth and reflective surface, is cool and breathable, and has a very good drape.

Silk satin is a more delicate fabric and prone to pulling.

And the reflective material is not suitable for fat men, as it can easily make them look fatter.

2.2. Version

In the past, flight jackets were mainly used to prevent wind and keep warm, so they were mostly heavy.

Nowadays, in addition to pursuing warmth, we also pursue lightness and comfort.

So now there are several types of flight jackets.
