SALVAGE STOCK

Please note: These items are non-returnable and will be dispatched within 8-10 working days.

Our relentless pursuit of perfection can often bite us in the behind and leave us with pieces that are unable to have their moment of glory. A missing popper, poor quality stitching or a wash that wasn’t quite right are some of the reasons they just don’t cut it. These misfits are still created with the same love and attention you’d expect from &SONS and now is your chance to own a one-of-a-kind. The &SONS Salvage Stock gives every piece its time in the spotlight and avoids it being sent to the great outlet in the sky. Anything that isn’t chosen will be sent to a recycling unit but we believe these unique garments deserve a home in your wardrobe!  So explore the sale and be quick, they won’t be around for long.

The bomber jacket, a sartorial icon synonymous with Hollywood cool and military heritage, has seamlessly woven itself into the fabric of both cinema and classic military attire. Think Steve McQueen's resilient Hilts in The Great Escape or Bruce Willis' Butch Coolidge navigating Pulp Fiction with a suede MA-1. The allure of Top Gun's Maverick, leather jacket open, revs up the dictionary definition of cool.

However, beyond the silver screen spotlight, the bomber's genesis lies in the pragmatic realm of functionality. Born in the crucible of World War I, where open-air cockpits demanded clothing that wasn't just fashionable but literally a matter of life or death. Fast forward to today, and the bomber jacket stands as a testament to style and survival.

Early flight jackets were heavyweight, thick-leather designs crafted to shield pilots from the elements. With origins in the US Army Aviation Clothing Board in 1917, these jackets evolved with aviation advancements, morphing into styles like the A-1 in 1927. The A-1, with its knitted waistband and cuffs, set the stage for the modern bomber, blending rugged utility with a flattering fit.

In 1931, the A-2, a zip-closure evolution, became an aviation legend. Worn by thousands of pilots through WWII, its longevity mirrored its heroic wearers. Customization became a tradition, with pilots painting tributes on their jackets. The UK, with Leslie Irvin's sheepskin invention in 1932, added its touch to flight jacket history.

Post-WWII, jackets like the G-1 and the MA-1 marked transitions in design, paving the way for the sleek, nylon MA-1 of the late 1950s. Today, the bomber jacket carries the weight of history and the promise of enduring style. Whether a vintage A-2 or a modern incarnation, wearing one is not just donning an outer layer; it's embracing a narrative, a connection to the past, and appreciating the craftsmanship that transcends time.
