Big and Tall Leather Bombers: Best Picks This Season

Leather bomber jackets are a great go-to piece of clothing. They work well with jeans, casual tops, and boots; however, finding a good fit can be difficult. Standard jackets can sometimes be a little short and tight. Big and tall leather bombers offer a better balance of width and length. This season, Jackets Capital offers styles in classic black cowhide, blue suede, and maroon leather, so you can choose the look you want.

How to Choose the Right Fit?

A bomber should be snug but not too baggy. When buying big and tall bomber jackets, be sure to look at the chest measurement, shoulder width, sleeve length, and body length in addition to the sizing. The bomber jackets should have an easy zip-up, be comfortable to wear, and give enough room for a light layer underneath. Sometimes bigger sizes do not automatically mean longer sleeves and a longer body. If you need extra room and length, take a look at the Big and Tall Leather Jackets for Men collection and compare the available measurements before choosing.

Three Leather Bombers to Check Out

  • Marauder Black Bomber for Everyday Wear
    A black bomber is easy to style and works with almost anything, from jeans and T-shirts to casual boots. The Marauder Black Leather Bomber Jacket is made from genuine cowhide leather with a rub-off finish. It features a high-neck collar, zip closure, quilted viscose lining, and rib-knit cuffs. Available in sizes up to 4XL, it is worth considering when shopping for big and tall leather jackets for men.
  • Shane Blue Suede Bomber for a Change
    Want something other than black or brown? The Shane Blue Suede Bomber Jacket brings colour and texture to the classic bomber style. Made from goatskin leather with a suede finish, it features a varsity-style collar, front zip, and quilted lining. Sizes go up to 4XL. Pair this men’s suede bomber jacket with dark jeans and a plain shirt for an easy everyday look.
  • Moda Maroon Bomber for a Richer Look
    Maroon adds a little character without being difficult to style. The Moda Maroon Leather Bomber Jacket features a genuine sheepskin leather outer shell with an aniline finish, a band collar, zip closure, and quilted viscose lining. It is listed in sizes up to 4XL. Wear it with black jeans or charcoal trousers to keep the outfit balanced.

Easy Ways to Wear a Leather Bomber

There is no need to completely refresh your wardrobe to style a bomber jacket. A few easy combinations will help make the most of your bomber jacket. 

  1. For Casual Days: Wear it with a plain T-shirt, straight-leg jeans, and white trainers for an easy casual look. 
  2. For Smart-Casual Plans: Layer over a slim knit sweater with darker coloured trousers and leather boots for a smarter casual look. 
  3. For Colder Weather: Choose a soft sweatshirt or knit to wear underneath to keep you warm during cooler weather; make sure you choose a jacket with enough room to layer up. Explore the men’s fur and shearling collection for some extra warm outerwear. 
  4. For a More Noticeable Outfit: Choose the blue or maroon design and keep the remaining colours neutral.

A well-balanced leather bomber jacket outfit should feel comfortable and suit the occasion. There is no need to add too many accessories when the jacket already gives your outfit a clear look.

Getting the Right Fit Before Ordering

When shopping for plus-size leather bomber jackets, always check the measurements on the individual product page. A larger size will not necessarily have longer sleeves or a longer body. Look at:

  • Chest: Make sure you can close the jacket without tugging at the seams.
  • Shoulders: Provide enough room to allow comfortable movement of the arms.
  • Sleeves: Check that the sleeves are an appropriate length 
  • Body: The body length should be comfortable, with the hem falling in the right place on your torso. 
  • Room for Layers: Think about whether you will wear a T-shirt, sweater or sweatshirt underneath.

If you are looking at a 4XL leather bomber jacket, it can be a good idea to compare the measurements to a jacket you currently own that fits. This will give you a better indication of how it will fit. For a design with more personal input, you can also visit the Custom Bomber Jackets collection to review available options.

Choose a Bomber That Fits Your Wardrobe

The best bomber is not necessarily the most expensive or eye-catching one. It is the jacket that fits comfortably, suits your usual clothing, and gives you a reason to wear it often. Whether you prefer black cowhide, blue suede or maroon leather, Jackets Capital offers different styles to compare. Visit the men’s leather bomber jacket collection to see the available designs and check their sizing before ordering.
