Fit This Bomber Open and Zipped Over Your Actual Layers

Compare M–2XL chest, sleeve and back length for two realistic underlayers.

A full-zip bomber jacket has to work both open and zipped over the clothes you actually intend to wear. The chart gives finished-looking chest, shoulder, sleeve and back length measurements, but no lining thickness or layer allowance.

Test two layer states

Put on your usual light top and measure a jacket that closes comfortably over it. Repeat with a sweater if this bomber is for colder days. Compare those two chest references with M 115 cm, L 119, XL 123 or 2XL 127 cm. Then compare shoulder and back length: M is 53 and 68 cm, while 2XL is 56 and 74. The zip cannot make a tight chest more comfortable; conversely, sizing up for a sweater changes hem and sleeve position too.

For an open outfit, place the jacket over a plain tee and decide whether you want the zipper edges to frame the tee or meet at the center. Apricot, Black and Green are available; choose the selected colour image rather than assuming identical panel or trim contrast. The page states 100% polyester and a 1–3 cm manual chart tolerance. It gives no wind, insulation or water-resistance rating, so the name alone does not establish weather performance.
