Blåkläder bomber jackets

What is a bomber jacket (pilot jacket)?

A bomber jacket, also referred to as a pilot jacket, is a short, practical coat originally designed for pilots in the early 20th century. With a rich history, this jacket symbolises functionality, comfort, and timeless style.

The origin of the bomber jacket

The bomber jacket dates back to World War I, created to protect pilots from the cold in open cockpits. The classic MA-1 bomber, which gained popularity in the 1950s and 60s, refined this design by using lightweight yet warm materials.

Frequently asked questions about the Blåkläder bomber jacket

Is the Blåkläder pilot jacket waterproof?

Blåkläder pilot jackets feature a water- and dirt-repellent outer layer, offering protection against light rain showers. However, they are not fully waterproof for prolonged or heavy rain.

How do I choose the right size?

It’s important to check the Blåkläder size chart, available on our product pages. Measure your chest and waist and compare them to the chart. Keep in mind you may wear layers underneath the jacket—if in doubt, we recommend sizing up. The size chart can be found on the relevant product page or our customer service page 'Size Charts and Info'.

Can I personalise the jacket with a company logo?

Absolutely! Many Blåkläder jackets have space for customisation. At 71Workx, we offer embroidery and printing services to add your company logo for a professional look. Contact our team for more information or visit our 'Print and Embroidery' page.

How do I care for my Blåkläder bomber jacket?

Always follow the care instructions on the jacket’s label. Close all zips before washing and avoid fabric softener, as it can reduce the jacket’s breathable and water-repellent properties. Hang the jacket to dry after washing.
