Merrick | Suede Bomber Jacket Rib-Knit Trim Dark Brown

Short body. Soft hide. Out.

The suede is supple enough to move the moment you put it on, with none of the break-in a stiffer leather asks for. It sits close at the neck and waist and keeps its room through the body, so a jumper fits underneath without pulling across the back. The zip runs clean from hem to chin, and the satin lining slides rather than bunches at the shoulder. Among bomber jackets this is the one that ends up on most mornings.

Rib-Knit Collar and Hem That Keep the Draught Out The knit trims hold close at the neck and waist, so cold air stays outside on a platform in October. The body keeps its ease, which means you can layer without the jacket reading tight.

Five Pockets That Separate What You Carry Two welted waist pockets take your hands, while two inside and a dedicated phone pocket keep keys and screen apart. Nothing swings or prints through the front.

A Cut That Stops at the Hip The short body sits at the hip bone, which keeps the leg looking long over jeans or trousers. Where a wax jacket adds bulk through the chest, this one stays near the shoulder line.

Soft Suede With a Satin Lining The hide has a dry, brushed nap and a give that heavier leathers never manage, so it creases with wear rather than fighting it. A full satin lining runs through the body and sleeves, and the zip is set into a clean, straight placket that lies flat when closed.

Wear it over a fine-gauge jumper with dark denim and brown boots.
