What is a "bomber jacket"?

A bomber jacket is a short, waist-length jacket that is made of durable materials such as leather, nylon, or polyester. It is characterized by its ribbed cuffs and hem, and front zipper closure, and often features a pocket on the arm. Originally designed for pilots during World War I, the bomber jacket has become a popular fashion item and is available in a range of styles and colors. It is often worn casually with jeans and a t-shirt, but can also be dressed up for a more formal look.
