Who makes a good wool suiting bomber, or something similar? KVA used to do them pretty regularly, I feel like I've seen Margiela ones but all I can find now are nylon ones.

For a relatively cheap option: Harmony Paris, I didn't like the grey hopsack in person (too lustrous) but I bet the other colors (navy/black) are nice. They had ma-1 versions from ss15 (I had/sold) you might be able to find, have bombers with big pockets which I like more for ss16 - wait for sales. lemaire (garbadine), komakino - (oversized garbadine, but too oversized imo) ....dunno there's probably more
Edit/ Schneider will usually release something bomber-esque each season too if you can find a nice tropical wool makeup

Thanks. The Lemaire zip blouson is the ideal but I can't find the colour I want in a 52. I'll check out the Harmony. I

Engineered Garments have a bomber called the Aviator. I have one from SS14 in navy tropical wool. They run the Aviator most SS's, it seems, often in a tropical wool.
