Aspen Coat

A bomber jacket is a hip-length jacket with a relaxed body, first made for military pilots and now one of the easiest casual layers to own. The Aspen Coat takes that classic bomber shape into winter and adds a statement oversized collar, so even a simple sweater and pants look polished and put together the moment you put it on.

t depends on the jacket. Many bomber jackets are lightweight layers made for spring and fall, but the Aspen Coat is a winter bomber coat designed for warmth and finished with a statement oversized collar. On the coldest days, add a scarf and gloves and you have a cold-weather outfit that still looks considered rather than bundled up.

Keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the jacket do the work. With a statement collar like the Aspen Coat’s, a fitted sweater, slim pants and ankle boots or clean sneakers keep the look balanced. For evenings, wear it over a knit dress with tall boots. The black stays sharp with almost anything, while the white brightens a wardrobe built on neutrals.

A fine-gauge sweater, a turtleneck or a simple long-sleeve top all work well under a bomber jacket. Slimmer layers keep the silhouette neat and keep the attention on the Aspen Coat’s statement collar. Stick to tonal colors, such as cream, camel or gray, if you want the collar to be the focal point, or go all black for an easy, polished winter look.

A bomber jacket should sit comfortably across the shoulders, finish around the hip and let you move your arms freely with a layer underneath. Some bombers are cut close to the body and others are deliberately relaxed, so the label size alone will not tell you much. Before you order, compare your chest measurement with the size chart on this page and allow for whatever you plan to wear underneath.
