[The best selling] Tampa Bay Buccaneers Football Team All Over Printed Bomber Jacket

The bomber jacket is one of the most popular outerwear types today, and it is certainly the most well-known item of military apparel to achieve civilian success. The jacket has a long and illustrious history that can be traced from its military origins to numerous subcultures such as punk and skinhead movements, LGBT communities in the 1980s, and, more recently, the high fashion establishment. Despite its broad popularity, the famous jacket has always struck a chord with developing young movements, which explains its current status as a well-known and well-loved streetwear staple.

From the Cockpit to the Runway: A Brief History of the Bomber Jacket – Tampa Bay Buccaneers Football Team All Over Printed Bomber Jacket

Bomber jackets aren’t a passing fad; they’re a true wardrobe staple that’s built to last while having a relatively low price tag when it comes to outerwear. Here’s a closer look at the jacket you’ll be wearing for the foreseeable future. The bomber jacket is no exception to the rule that the best staple pieces are those that arose from a functional need.

Airmen wore leather jackets in the days of propeller aircraft, including the A-2, which is an essential predecessor of the contemporary flight jacket. The jackets were warm because of the fleece inside, and they were fashionable, even by today’s standards, with elasticated sleeves and waists, a high wraparound collar, and front pockets.

The creation of the jet plane, on the other hand, allowed planes to travel at considerably higher altitudes and, as a result, in much colder temperatures than before. When leather jackets like the A-2 get wet from rain or sweat, the water freezes at higher elevations, making the coats hard, chilly, and unbearably uncomfortable.

In addition, the new jet aircraft had a more streamlined shape, which meant less cockpit room. Be a response to advanced jet technology, a slim, lightweight, yet warm jacket was required, and it arrived in the form of the B-15, frequently referred to as the “godfather” of modern bombers.

Although nylon was discovered before World War II, parachutes took precedence over flying clothes when it came to distributing nylon supplies during the war. Because of its simplicity of care, water resistance, and resistance to mildew, insects, and perspiration, nylon became the material of choice for bomber jackets after 1945.

The B-15 was improved to the MA-1 in 1949, and it has since become the most iconic and imitated form. The design of the jacket was a reaction to the aircraft’s technological developments and the needs of the pilots: cockpits were more insulated, so the fur collar was no longer required; instead, a knitted, elastic collar was substituted, allowing more area for parachute harnesses.

The iconic orange lining was introduced at this point so that in the event of a plane crash, the pilot may turn the plane inside out to improve rescue visibility. Around this period, the jacket began to be made in colours other than the standard issue midnight blue of the Air Force. The jackets were made in the now-ubiquitous sage green colour during the Korean and Vietnam Wars to better match the ground vegetation and provide further camouflage in the event of a crash or emergency landing in hostile territory.

Subcultural movements began to emerge all over the world that would adopt the jacket as an essential part of their uniforms.

Dobbs Industries designed the jacket specifically for fighter pilots in the United States Air Force and Navy. The jackets didn’t first appear in Europe until the late 1950s, most likely through government surplus stores and possibly black market or secondhand sales.

A pivotal moment in the history of the bomber jacket occurred in 1963, when an offshoot of Dobbs established Alpha Industries and was awarded a military contract to manufacture the jackets. As Alpha began to export the jackets to both European Air Forces and commercial customers, more of them were shipped to Europe and Australia.

Around the same time, a number of prominent subcultural movements sprang up all over the world that would adopt the jacket and make it an intrinsic part of their uniforms over the next several decades. The original British skinheads were among the first to wear the jacket as a sartorial reflection of the changing socioeconomic realities of the time in the late 1960s.

The more affluent mods could afford such luxuries as fashionable clothes, scooters, and other accessories (including the trendy amphetamines) that exemplified the culture; the “hard mods” of the working class lived in the same poor neighbourhoods as immigrants, exposing them to facets of black culture and music, most notably soul, ska, reggae, and the like.

Lower-class people were also more likely to work in factories or blue-collar jobs, which meant they couldn’t wear their hair long and prefered workwear like trousers, work boots, and military-inspired attire like the bomber jacket.
