The best bomber jackets burn bright and long. Buy one, and you become known for it among your peers. Partly that’s because it’s the type of layer you’ll want to throw on every day, no matter the forecast or whatever else you’re wearing. But it’s also because bomber jackets emanate a high-flying energy that’s impossible to look away from. Just try to imagine Tom Cruise racing his Kawasaki GPZ900R down the Top Gun runway in any other jacket style.
Go on, we’ll wait. Tough, right?
So to kit you out with Maverick-level confidence, GQ Recommends went deep on the best men’s bomber jackets on the market right now, whether you prefer to keep it clean and classic with a faithful replica, or flex in something a little more experimental. No passports or Dramamine required, we swear.
