Fashion isn't always literal.

 

The "riding boot" comes to mind.  Many boots out there that are called riding boots have a large gap at the top which an actual riding boot would never have.

 

Fashion takes liberties.

I like the black and black/white.  Seems to be a new trend coming.  I checked BCBG site earlier and this showed up as a new arrival - it's quilted, called Amelia I think, Olive shade?13012BM_314.jpg  Kind of like them, new twist on a duster. Woman Happy

Why is it called a bomber, a bomber is traditionally short, if you look up the definition it was originally made for pilots to be warm and not unrestrict their movements

I never liked moto jackets but I liked the look of a bomber jacket.  Actually my daughter and I were doing some online window shopping today.  I'd buy the right bomber but it I'd want one that was an inch or two longer than the ones I was looking at but I don't want one that comes down to my thighs.  I want a classid bomber.   I haven't looked at the ones here but they are cut for a middle aged woman's body, so the fit would work for me.

i could be wrong, but isn't a bomber jacket so called because its the jacket style of the military pilots, and therefore, short. can it still be called a bomber style if it's long?

 

That's what I was thinking too.  I think the longer ones should be called "bomber inspired".  They are not classic bomber jackets.

I am not usually a fan of longer length bomber jackets, but the 2 black ones are cute. I own 2 bomber style faux leather jackets. They are a regular length without a lot of extra fabric bulk around the middle. I love wearing mine in the fall with jeans and a sweater.

I ended up ordering the black and white one. Haven't received it yet.
