bomber jacket

A short sturdy jacket traditionally made of leather and having a fitted or elastic waist, a zippered or buttoned front, and often a fleece, pile or fur collar. Also called flight jacket.

Modern bomber jackets tend to be of fabric rather than leather and may be used as sports clothes. Bomber jackets are often styled into letterman jackets, with added details common for that style of jacket. But, the fundamental construction of the garment is very similar.
