Heyyy. This should definitely go in as an entry. Awesome fit and that scenery!
Thanks! I'd love to enter it, but it was taken 4 days prior to the announcement of the challenge. I may have a chance to take more pics before the challenge is over though. Wish me luck!

We aren’t going to split hairs over four days are we? Seems like an entry to me (caveat not my challenge... :))

I have actually never posted in SW&D but would an A-1 jacket be considered a bomber for this challenge?

I would consider it to be. But it is up to people voting I guess if they respond well to your photo as an outfit featuring a bomber jacket.

Nice entries so far everyone.

I like bombers a lot. Im a Robert Geller fanboy so this was a tough choice. Honorable mentions: SS11 Cadet Bomber and FW12 Hooded Bomber.

Went with my most worn,

Geller SS10 Summer Bomber / Margiela / Geller Reverse Denim / Margiela Campus Boots

The piece is a patchwork of different materials; main structure is done in 70% cotton 30% linen, sleeves and pocket patches are 70% cupro 30% cotton, the back features a large open weave patch of 50% linen 50% cotton. Thanks @keanswon (I believe) for the rack pics.

1st one is a generic MA-1 bought from a workwear store going out of business. I had my tailor rip out the "stuffing" and slim it down for me. It is nylon, navy, and reversible to neon orange on the inside.




2nd is a Carhartt WIP jacket. It is forest green.
