  • Bomber Jacket

    Introducing the redesigned J.Hilburn Bomber Jacket.  The new design emphasizes a streamlined shoulder to provide your client with an improved range of motion and ease of fit. Easily place his order using his confirmed outerwear profile with no need to change the TAPE recommended sleeve outseam. 

    Creating Fit

    • The Bomber jacket is associated with the outerwear jacket group 1 profile. The Fit Quiz that corresponds to the outerwear jacket profile will provide recommendations based on the intended fit of the Bomber Jacket. 
    • It is important to note that due to the knit cuff feature of the bomber jacket, ½ of extra length is needed beyond the T.A.P.E. recommendation for outerwear jacket sleeve outseams.  The good news is that this extra 1/2″ is automatically added to your Client’s Bomber Jacket sleeve at the factory. Therefore it is not necessary to adjust your Client’s confirmed outerwear jacket sleeve length. 

    Interior Construction

    Alterations

    Due to the construction and fabric of the Bomber jacket it is not possible to alter the fit by a tailor.

    Outwear Profiles

    When creating a new client T.A.P.E. automatically creates and outwear vest profile. We recommend confirming your clients specific vest preferences using the product fit quiz.

    Outerwear Vest Profile

    Profile based on Client preference.

    Vest Length Tool Tip

    Utilize tool tip to confirm vest length.

    Tailored Outwear is designed to easily coordinate with the fit our your Client’s favorite sportcoat. For all the details follow the link bellow.

    Tailored Outerwear Profile

    An outwear raincoat/ Mac profile is automatically created for a new client. Utilize the product fit quiz to customize your Client’s raincoat preference. 

    Raincoat Fit Quiz

    When entering a new Client, T.A.P.E. automatically creates an Outwear jacket group 1 profile.  Group 1 is used to order the Field Jacket, Hybrid Utility Jacket, Puffer, Town Jacket, Bomber Jacket, and Trucker Jacket. Group 1 styles have a straighter fit. They do not include any sleeve or waist/hip adjustments.

    Outerwear Jacket Group 1 Fit Quiz

    Outerwear Jacket Profile

    Depending on Client fit preference the chest size of his outerwear jacket may be larger than his core measurement. Sleeve Outseam will always be 0.50″ shorter than the core measurement sleeve length.

    Tool Tip

    Utilize the length toll tip to compare finished length measurements on all styles. 

    Outerwear Group 2 is used for Hybrid Blazer, Vest Front Blazer, Quilted Shirt jacket, Stand Collar Hybrid Blazer, Convertible Quilted Blazer. All styles supported by this profile are available with three sleeve fits and a waist/hip adjustment.

    When placing an order for one of the styles in Group 2, the stylist will be prompted to create a new profile. There are two Preference questions to confirm your client’s length preference and his layering preference, either over a heavy sweater or over a shirt.

    Next TAPE will create your client’s profile recommendation. At the top, you will see the chest measurement, which is the ordered jacket measurement. Next is the waist/hip adjustment for the shirt jacket group and the Blazer group. Since these two jacket groups are shaped differently, the recommendation for the waist/hip adjustment may not be the same. Each recommendation is calculated differently based on the corresponding pattern and intended fit of each style.

    Sleeve Fit is also calculated independently for shirt jackets and blazers and may vary for each group.  

    Tooltips are provided for all finished measurements.
