Bomber Jacket Heritage
- Avirex built its reputation on authentic military flight jacket reproductions
- The MA-1 bomber jacket style originated with U.S. Air Force pilots in the 1950s
- Avirex X Trapstar Jacket honors this heritage while updating it for street fashion
- The cropped bomber length was originally designed to prevent jackets from bunching in cramped cockpits
- Ribbed details were functional—tight cuffs kept cold air out at high altitudes
Fit and Construction
- Classic bomber fit—slightly boxy through the body with room for layering
- Cropped length creates modern proportions that work with high-waisted pants
- Ribbed cuffs and hem provide snug fit at extremities
- The Trapstar X Avirex Jacket accommodates hoodies and sweaters underneath
- Sleeve length designed to hit at the wrist bone
- Size M chest measures approximately 22-23 inches pit-to-pit when laid flat
- For reference: someone 5'10" and 170 lbs typically wears size M for true bomber fit
Styling the Collaborative Bomber
- Red version makes a bold statement—pair with black or dark denim to let the jacket stand out
- Black version offers more versatility, working with most colors
- The Avirex Trapstar bomber's cropped length pairs best with high-waisted bottoms
- Classic white tees or graphic tees work well underneath
- Sneakers in matching red or black complement the respective colorways
- The bomber style bridges casual and slightly dressed-up contexts
Care for Faux Leather
- Wipe down with damp cloth for regular cleaning
- Avoid machine washing faux leather—it can damage the material and coating
- For stubborn stains, use mild soap and water with a soft cloth
- The Avirex Trapstar Jacket should be air dried only if it gets wet
- Store hanging to prevent creasing
- Condition occasionally with products designed for synthetic leather to maintain suppleness
