The "Bomia" MA-1 Brown Leather Bomber | Full-Grain Heritage Edition | Full Grain Apparel
The Flight Classic, Reimagined: Timeless Airman Style
Take to the skies (or the streets) with the "Bomia" MA-1 Brown Leather Bomber from Full Grain Apparel. Inspired by the legendary 1950s flight jackets worn by US Air Force pilots, the Bomia replaces the traditional nylon shell with a rich, heavy-duty leather. This is the ultimate "utility" jacket—a piece that balances a relaxed, athletic fit with the indestructible feel of premium hide. It’s the jacket you grab when you need a layer that is effortlessly cool, exceptionally warm, and built to outlast the trends.
High-Altitude Hides & Sun-Baked Tones
At Full Grain Apparel, we’ve selected a leather that honors the rugged history of flight gear:
-
Top-Grain "Havana" Cowhide: A medium-weight leather with a natural, visible grain. It is drum-dyed to a classic "Havana Brown"—a deep, saturated chocolate hue with subtle reddish undertones that glow in the light.
-
Supple Resilience: While thick enough to serve as a genuine windbreak, the leather is specially milled to be flexible from day one, ensuring the iconic "blouson" shape of the MA-1 drape perfectly.
-
Tonal Quilted Lining: The interior features a high-density, diamond-stitched sateen lining, providing a layer of thermal insulation without adding unnecessary bulk.
The "Bomia" Signature MA-1 Specs
We’ve kept the functional DNA of the original flight jacket while upgrading the materials for the modern wardrobe:
-
Signature Utility "Cigarette" Pocket: The left sleeve features the iconic zippered flight pocket with pen slots—a hallmark of authentic MA-1 design, now rendered in matching Havana leather.
-
Ribbed "Storm" Trim: Heavy-duty, high-elasticity wool-blend knitting at the collar, cuffs, and waistband. The ribbing is color-matched to the leather to seal in body heat and maintain the classic bomber silhouette.
-
Classic "Safety" Snap Pockets: Two large, slanted waist pockets with reinforced snap-flap closures, designed for quick access and secure storage of your daily essentials.
-
Heavy-Duty Brass YKK Hardware: Outfitted with an oversized, industrial-grade brass zipper that provides a striking metallic contrast against the dark brown leather.
-
Action-Cut Shoulders: Designed with slightly dropped shoulder seams to allow for maximum comfort and easy layering over heavy hoodies or chunky knits.
