Zeagoo Classic Quilted Bomber Jacket

The bomber is a short jacket with ribbed cuffs, collar and hem. This Zeagoo version is quilted, which makes it warmer than a plain bomber of the same weight.

Why quilting keeps you warm

Quilting stitches a thin layer of padding between the outer fabric and the lining. The stitched pockets keep the padding spread evenly and trap warm air. You get warmth without the bulk of a puffer.

How to wear a bomber

The short length ends at the hip, which works well with:

• high-waisted jeans and a tee or thin sweater;
• a dress or skirt, for contrast;
• leggings and trainers for errands.

Olive green, the classic bomber colour, goes with denim, black and cream.

Layering

Under a bomber, keep layers thin: a long-sleeve tee, a thin knit, a shirt. A chunky sweater will make the arms tight.

Sizing

Bombers are cut close at the cuffs and hem. Check the size chart, and size up if you want room to layer underneath.

Care

Follow the care label. Quilted jackets usually wash on a gentle cycle; dry them flat or on low heat so the padding does not clump.

What it will not do

It will not keep you warm in deep winter. It will not fit over bulky sweaters. And a short jacket will not cover your hips in the rain.
