[Bigbird]

Well I was just browsing the recent comments in the photo gallery and so this pic


I have always liked the look of the bomber Jacket and started digging around the web to find more information about them, I discovered that the Bomber crews used to paint art work onto their jackets and was amazed to find lots of examples of this.

Here are some I found, they are amazing, I wonder what the guy in the first pic had painted on his?.

WW2 bomber jackets were and still are a fashion icon IMO, I never saw anybody wearing an authentic one when I was a kid but even the new ones looked cool. Nice thread @Bigbird

The evolution of the bomber jacket has gone from fighter pilots, to skinheads, to the backs of regular Joes everywhere. Its many iterations, including satin, leather, collared or collarless, are all testament to its staying power and thus our predicament in today’s fashion climate. As we’ve already established the bomber jacket trend isn’t going anywhere. It has firmly planted itself as a wardrobe staple and is almost beyond trendy now – it’s as much a part of the daily routine as skinny jeans and button-ups.
