Bomber Jackets were first introduced to the pilots during World War-I to save their lives from the adverse climatic conditions. Later, these jackets were also used by the various government agencies, defence and military department too.  And now these jackets are in trend in the fashion industry because of the casual & special look these jackets give during their bike riding and parties. In the 1970s flight jackets became popular with scooterboys and skinheads. In the 1980s, a variant jacket made of wool became popular (see letterman jacket below). In the early 2000s, the bomber jacket was popular casual wear in hip-hop fashion.
