How your bomber jacket should fit
An original Varsity Jacket Team guide to how your bomber jacket should fit. Plan the details, compare your options and review the actual product before ordering.
Fit & layering
Use this how your bomber jacket should fit brief to turn an idea into choices you can review. Start with how you want to wear the garment, the details that matter to you and the actual product options. Keep a short list of priorities so you can compare the proof, fit and store specification together before ordering.
Measure a jacket you wear
Lay a comfortable jacket flat without stretching it. Record chest width, body length and sleeve length using the same measurement points as the selected product. A familiar size letter alone does not show how a new silhouette will fit.
Leave room for your layers
Try the reference jacket over the shirt, sweater or hoodie you expect to wear. Check that you can reach forward and bend your arms comfortably. Review the hem, shoulders and cuffs together rather than choosing from chest width alone.
Review the individual size
For a team order, let each person compare measurements and approve their own selection. Keep the product-specific chart with the final size list. Do not assume every garment family follows one shared set of measurements.
A design reference is a starting point. Confirm materials, fit and available options with the actual product before ordering.
