The bomber jacket is one of menswear’s most iconic and enduring pieces and every man should have one in their wardrobe armoury. If you’re looking to push the boat out a little with your next bomber the guys at Carryology and Alchemy Equipment have got just the thing in this first-class collab – namely, their AXC Bomber Jacket. Overflowing with quality and the sort of functional performance synonymous with this type of outerwear, the Alchemy Equipment x Carryology AXC Bomber Jacket will elevate any man’s style in an instant.
For this quality collab, Alchemy Equipment took their styling inspiration from the MA-1 model, the 1950’s evolution of the A-1 and A-2 pieces originally developed by the US Army Aviation Clothing Board in 1917. This legendary style has performance and function at its core and has an aesthetic that the likes of Bogart, Dean, McQueen and Brando helped place indelibly onto the list of menswear essentials. Available to pre-order now for $330, the Alchemy Equipment x Carryology AXC Bomber Jacket will be your go-to piece of outerwear throughout Fall and Winter.
The AxC Bomber is filled with PrimaLoft® Gold down blend insulation, which is made with RDS (Responsible Down Source) certified goose down and PrimaLoft ultra-fine fibres. This premium insulation is highly packable and lightweight, yet it is capable of delivering warmth in all conditions. It is equivalent to 750 fill power down but with the added benefit of a hydrophobic finish that retains loft and warmth even when wet. Long story short, this is one technically accomplished bomber that will look great on any occasion.
The AxC Bomber is a waterproof and breathable jacket that will keep you dry and comfortable in wet weather. The jacket has a 20,000mm waterproof rating, which means that it can withstand a column of water 20,000mm high. This is more than enough to keep you dry in even the heaviest downpours. The ace-looking bomber is also breathable, courtesy of its membrane that combines hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules. These molecules repel water but allow water vapor to pass through, so you won’t get sweaty or clammy inside the jacket.
The seams of the Alchemy Equipment x Carryology AXC Bomber Jacket are also fully seam-sealed, which means that there is no chance for water to leak in through the stitching. This is done by blasting a 22mm wide PU tape with hot air, which melts a durable adhesive backer over all needle holes. Finally, the jacket has YKK® Aquaguard zippers, which are designed to be water-tight. This ensures that even if you get caught in a downpour, your jacket will stay dry and comfortable. After the ultimate bomber? Look no further.
