Leather Bomber Jackets for Women: The Best Designer Styles

A leather bomber jacket is a short, blouson-cut jacket that gathers at the waist and cuff, a shape taken from flight jackets and now one of the most worn pieces in our designer leather jackets edit. The newest come from Nour Hammour: Galina in croco-embossed lambskin, Livia lined in merino shearling and the oversized Dalma Long, all cut in Paris for Resort 2027.

Below are the leather bombers we rate this season, what separates a good one from a stiff one, and a comparison built from each house’s own product information.

How to choose a leather bomber

The waist. A classic bomber is caught at the waist by a rib knit band; an elasticated leather hem, as on Galina, keeps the line cleaner. A straight hem with no gather reads closer to a blouson.

The volume. Dropped shoulders and a deep armhole make the jacket easy over knitwear. A close cut looks sharper with tailoring.

The lining. Silk sleeve linings slide over a jumper. A shearling lining, as on Livia, turns the bomber into a winter coat.

How the leather bombers compare

How we compared: the material is the wording each house uses on its own product page; the size range is read from the live Coveti listing on 15 November 2026. We list no prices because they change by market.

Galina, Livia and Dalma Long side by side

How we compared: every cell is copied from the Nour Hammour product page (composition and size and fit tabs) on 15 November 2026. Where the house publishes nothing, the cell says so; we do not estimate.

All three are cut in XS to XL. Livia and Dalma Long run relaxed and androgynous; the house suggests one size down for petite frames. Galina is true to size.

How to wear a leather bomber

The bomber stops at the waist, so it works best over pieces that show a line below it: straight denim, a midi skirt, wide trousers. Over a hoodie it is weekend dressing; over a fine knit and tailored trousers it goes to the office. For evening, wear it on the shoulders over a slip dress. A croco bomber is the most dressed version; a matte lambskin one is the most versatile.

Care

Dust leather with a dry cloth between wears and keep it away from prolonged damp. Have it cleaned by a leather specialist, and never iron it. A shearling lining should be aired after wear and hung on a broad hanger. See our leather and shearling care guide.

Frequently asked questions

Are leather bomber jackets in style?

Yes. This season the strongest versions are croco-embossed, shearling-lined and oversized, worn with straight denim and midi skirts.

What is the difference between a bomber and a biker jacket?

A bomber zips straight up the centre and gathers at the waist and cuffs. A biker jacket has an asymmetric zip, wide lapels and a fitted waist.

Should a leather bomber be oversized?

It depends on what you wear under it. An oversized bomber, like Dalma Long, layers over knitwear; a true-to-size bomber, like Galina, suits tailoring.

How should a leather bomber fit?

The hem should sit at the hip bone and the shoulders should allow a knit underneath without pulling across the back.
