so would it be correct to assume that almost all bomber jackets are like this?

I really like the fit and the type of collar that it has

That collar is pretty widespread. Tons of short jackets have this.
Its called a "snap collar"

I'd call it a Motorcycle(ish) jacket due to the snap tab collar and long sleeves. It's inspired by Motos at least. Kinda looks like a Members Only jacket....

They're calling it a bomber because it has the silhouette of a bomber and probably started from a pattern for one. However, instead of a knit collar, it has a moto collar. Chest pocket is also moto-esque, and it has epaulets and a couple of pockets on the arms (one high, one low). Button placement is odd and almost completely non-functional. I guess you could simplify it as a sort of moto bomber, but, in any case, it doesn't fit any single traditional jacket style.

And, yes, it's S2A, so the $600 pricetag is not surprising. Justified is another matter.

Reborn is overpriced (but have nice pictures). I paid less than half that.
