Goodfellow & Co Men’s Bomber Jackets | Versatile Styles for Every Season
Our lightweight nylon bomber jacket brings classic flight-jacket styling to your everyday rotation. We built it with a water-resistant polyester shell, ribbed collar and cuffs, and a full zip front that keeps wind out when temperatures drop. The relaxed fit layers comfortably over tees and henleys, while slash hand pockets and an interior chest pocket offer practical storage for keys, phone, and wallet.
This jacket works year-round—spring mornings, summer evenings, or layered under a heavier coat in winter. We designed the silhouette to hit at the hip for clean lines whether you’re heading to the office or meeting friends for the weekend.
Construction & fabric details
Materials & Construction
Every Goodfellow & Co men’s bomber jacket starts with fabrics chosen for durability and comfort. Our nylon and polyester shells resist water and wind, making them practical for unpredictable weather. The suede-finish styles use a soft polyester blend that mimics genuine leather’s texture without the maintenance, while corduroy options add warmth and visual depth.
Lining materials vary by style to match seasonal needs. Lightweight bombers feature breathable nylon or polyester linings that wick moisture during active wear. Quilted and sherpa-lined models incorporate synthetic insulation and fleece interiors that trap body heat without adding bulk. We reinforce high-stress areas—shoulder seams, pocket edges, zipper tracks—with double stitching to ensure each jacket holds up through years of regular use.
Sizing & Fit
Our bomber jackets are offered in a range of fits to match different layering preferences. Relaxed-fit styles are cut with extra room in the chest and shoulders, allowing you to layer comfortably over hoodies or thick sweaters. Regular-fit models sit closer to the body for a tailored look that works under heavier coats or on its own.
We recommend sizing based on how you plan to wear the jacket. If you typically layer over button-downs or light sweaters, choose your usual size. For layering over bulkier pieces like fleece pullovers, consider sizing up one increment. All styles are designed to hit at the hip, creating a clean line that pairs well with jeans, chinos, and joggers. Sleeve lengths are proportioned to match chest size across the range, so you don’t sacrifice arm coverage when moving between sizes.
Care Instructions
Most Goodfellow & Co bomber jackets are machine washable, which makes them easy to maintain between seasons. For nylon and polyester shell styles, wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, then tumble dry on low heat. Remove the jacket promptly to prevent wrinkles and hang it on a padded hanger to maintain shoulder shape.
Suede-finish and corduroy bombers benefit from spot cleaning for minor stains—use a damp cloth with mild detergent and blot gently rather than rubbing. If a full clean is needed, machine wash cold and hang dry to preserve the fabric’s texture. Sherpa linings may mat slightly after washing; a quick brush with a soft-bristle garment brush restores the fleece’s loft.

Questions About Goodfellow & Co Men’s Bomber Jackets
Yes, most of our bomber jackets are machine washable. Nylon and polyester shell styles can be washed cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dried on low heat. Suede-finish and corduroy bombers should be spot cleaned for minor stains or machine washed cold and hung to dry to preserve the fabric texture. Always check the care label sewn into the interior of your specific jacket for detailed instructions.
If you plan to layer your bomber over bulky sweaters or hoodies, we recommend sizing up one increment from your usual size. Our relaxed-fit styles already offer extra room in the chest and shoulders, so if you typically wear those cuts, your normal size should accommodate most layering. Regular-fit models sit closer to the body and work best over thinner layers like button-downs or tees.
Warmth varies by style. Our lightweight nylon bombers are ideal for temperatures above 50°F and work well as windbreakers or transitional layers. Quilted puffer bombers with synthetic down fill provide insulation for temperatures down to around 30°F, especially when layered over a sweater. Sherpa-lined corduroy bombers offer the most warmth in our collection, suitable for cold fall and winter days when paired with a thermal base layer.
Our ribbed trim is made from a cotton-poly blend designed to maintain elasticity through repeated wear and washing. The rib returns to its original shape after stretching, so it won’t sag or loosen significantly over time. To help preserve the ribbing, avoid pulling hard on the cuffs when removing the jacket, and tumble dry on low heat rather than high.
Our nylon and polyester shell bombers offer water resistance, meaning they can handle light rain or drizzle for short periods. They’re not fully waterproof, so we don’t recommend wearing them in heavy downpours. Suede-finish and corduroy styles are not water-resistant and should be kept dry to prevent damage to the fabric. If your bomber does get wet, hang it to air dry rather than using high heat.
Bomber jackets are defined by their ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem, along with a hip-length cut and relaxed silhouette. Originally designed for pilots, bombers prioritize mobility and warmth without restricting arm movement. Unlike trucker jackets that feature pointed collars and chest pockets, or parkas that extend past the hips with hoods, bombers maintain a clean, streamlined profile that layers easily and pairs with a wide range of casual outfits.
Remove your bomber from the dryer as soon as the cycle finishes and hang it on a padded hanger while it’s still slightly warm. The residual heat helps smooth minor wrinkles naturally. If creases remain, use a steamer on low heat or iron the jacket inside-out on a low setting, placing a cloth between the iron and fabric. For travel, fold your bomber inside-out and pack it on top of other items to minimize compression.
