Men’s Black Leather Bomber Jacket – Real Cowhide Flight Coat with Front Flap Pockets & Ribbed Cuffs

The Blacktop Gear Cowhide A-2 Flight Bomber is a men's black leather bomber built on the classic A-2 flight-jacket pattern in real cowhide. It runs a pointed shirt collar with a snap throat latch, two big snap-flap front pockets and ribbed knit cuffs and hem. Handmade to order in sizes S to 5XL from $245, with free delivery within the USA.

Design & Build

This is a proper flight jacket, not a fashion bomber. The shell is genuine cowhide — a substantial hide with a clean matte-black finish that softens and ages well. The cut follows the A-2 pattern: a pointed shirt-style collar with a snap throat latch to close out the wind, snap epaulettes on the shoulders, and a full front zip backed by a snap storm flap top and bottom.

The pockets are the detail the title calls out. Two large snap-flap patch pockets sit at the waist, sized to actually hold your hands and gear rather than just for show. Ribbed knit cuffs and a ribbed knit waistband seal the jacket at the wrists and hem, trapping warmth and giving it the unmistakable bomber silhouette.

Inside, a smooth lining keeps it comfortable over a shirt or tee. It is heavy enough for real riding and clean enough to wear every day — the A-2 shape is the reason this style has lasted decades.

Specifications

Who buys this jacket

• Flight-jacket fans. The A-2 pattern, snap throat latch and ribbed cuffs are the real deal — a timeless bomber rather than a trend piece.
• Everyday riders. Genuine cowhide, big usable pockets and a warm ribbed hem make it a jacket you reach for all season.
• Anyone who wants a clean black bomber. No fringe, no studs — just a sharp, classic leather jacket that goes with everything.

How riders wear it

Black cowhide goes with anything, so keep it simple — a tee or shirt and dark denim, with boots or clean sneakers. Zip it to the throat latch in the wind, or leave it open with the collar down for an everyday look. For a bomber fit wear your normal size; to layer a hoodie underneath, size up one step.

Size Chart — Men's Jackets

Measure around the fullest part of your chest — or your stomach if it is larger — and use the larger body measurement. Size up for a more relaxed fit.

Garment measurements refer to the finished jacket; body measurements refer to the wearer. For centimetres and the full measuring guide see our Size Guide. If you fall between sizes we build to your own measurements at no design charge.

Frequently asked questions

Is the leather real?
Yes, genuine cowhide — a substantial hide cut for real wear, with a smooth inner lining.

What is an A-2 jacket?
A classic flight-jacket pattern: a pointed shirt collar with a throat latch, a front zip, snap-flap pockets and ribbed knit cuffs and hem. This is that style in black cowhide.

Are the cuffs and hem elasticated?
Yes. They are ribbed knit, which seals the jacket at the wrists and waist and gives it the bomber shape.

How many pockets does it have?
Two large snap-flap patch pockets on the front, plus inside pockets in the lining.

Does the collar close up?
Yes. The pointed collar has a snap throat latch so you can close it against the wind, or leave it open with the collar down.

Which size should I order?
Measure your chest at the fullest part and match it to the chart. For a bomber fit wear your normal size; to layer underneath, size up one step. Between sizes, send your measurements and we build to them at no extra charge.

Do you make sizes above 5XL?
S to 5XL is the standard run for this jacket. If you need a larger size, message us and we will quote a made-to-measure build.

How long does it take?
Each jacket is made to order in about 2–3 weeks, then shipped free within the USA.

Can I change the colour or details?
Yes. The leather colour, lining, pocket layout and hardware are all open on a custom build — tell us what you want and we quote it before you order.

Where is it made?
Blacktop Gear is a US brand. Every piece is designed in the USA and handmade in our own factory rather than outsourced to a third-party manufacturer — which is how we control the leather grade and the stitching on every order. Delivery within the USA is free.
