2. A Legacy of Flight: The History of the Bomber Jacket
The first bomber jackets appeared in World War I, designed for pilots in open cockpits. The A-1 flight jacket was the first and the G-1 and B-3 followed, both of which inspire many of today’s women’s designs.
The G-1 had ribbed cuffs, a fitted waistband and thick leather for protection. The B-3 introduced shearling lining for extra warmth. These functional details have become fashion staples.
Over the decades the bomber jacket evolved out of the military, appeared on movie stars, motorcyclists and streetwear icons. Today women wear it with jeans, dresses or even tailored pants for an effortless yet bold look.
At Glory Store USA we honor this heritage while modernizing the materials for comfort and sustainability. Every jacket, from the Bolzano Skinish Bomber to the Pink Shearling B-3, combines aviation history with 21st century craftsmanship.
3. Leather Type Matters
Leather isn’t one size fits all. Each hide has its own texture, strength and feel, depending on the animal and tanning process. When you buy a leather jacket in the USA, you need to know these differences they determine durability, comfort and cost.
A cowhide bomber feels tough and reliable, great for long wear. A lambskin bomber feels soft and fancy, perfect for evenings or fashion events. And sheepskin is unbeatable for winter.
Knowing which leather is right for you means you get the most out of your investment. Whether you want the classic look of a men’s biker jacket, the feminine fit of a women’s hooded leather jacket or the polished finish of nappa leather, your choice of material will make all the difference.
4. Cowhide: The Workhorse of Leather Jackets
Cowhide has been the base of bomber jackets since the beginning. It’s tough, weatherproof and gets better with age. When you think of the classic aviator look, it’s probably cowhides you’re thinking of.
Advantages:
- Cowhide's got an incredible abrasion resistance and is tough as nails
- Not only does it repel wind and water it'll keep you going through even the worst weather
- As its ages, it develops a rich, beautiful patina that's all its own
Drawbacks:
- To be honest, it can be a bit stiff and heavy at first
- If you want it to stay supple and looking its best, you'll need to give it some regular TLC
Glory Store USA's Women’s Stylish Brown G-1 Bomber Leather Jacket that's a cowhide leather jacket for you that gets better with time like an old pair of boots that you just love to wear. It's perfect for just lounging around or going for a spin on the bike.
If you're in the market for a good quality women’s brown leather coat that not only looks great but will last you a good long time, then cowhide's the way to go it's the classic choice, and for good reason
5. Lambskin: Look Who's the Luxury Favorite
Now if cowhide is all about being tough, then lambskin is all about luxury. It’s what you think of when you think of soft it's smooth, lightweight and just feels amazing against your skin it's the ultimate leather for style and comfort.
Advantages:
- Lambskin's got a buttery texture you just can't resist smooth and refined
- It drapes over the body naturally, so it always looks good

It’s perfect for just grabbing and going whether you're running errands or heading out on the town. And if you value style over substance, then lambskin's the way to go it gives any outfit that extra bit of polish and sophistication.
6. Goatskin: Where Strength and Flexibility Meet
Goatskin is a bit of a middle-of-the-road choice, falling somewhere between the rugged durability of a cowhide and the supple softness of a lambskin. It's also got a natural oily texture that gives it a bit of waterproofing nothing too dramatic, but enough to keep you dry in a pinch. And that pebbled grain it's got a pretty distinctive texture to it.
Why You'll Love It:
- It's got real staying power it'll last for ages, and still retain its flexibility
- It's water-resistant and can withstand a fair bit of wear and tear
- It holds its shape really well over time it's not going to lose its form any time soon
But:
- It's a bit grainier than some other leathers, which might not be to everyone's taste
- It's not the glossiest of leathers it's a bit more understated
Goatskin has a long history of being used in military gear just think of all those old bombers you've seen in museum collections. The original G-1 that Glory Store USA loves so much? Yep, that was goatskin. And if you're a woman who's after a jacket that's going to get a fair bit of use, but still needs to feel comfy, goatskin is a really practical choice.
It's ideal for professionals or travelers who want a jacket that's going to last the distance it's tough, but it's not going to feel like you're wearing a piece of cardboard.
7. Nappa Leather: The Ultimate in Luxury
Nappa leather isn't defined by the animal, so much as by the finish. It's a type of full-grain leather that's been softened and polished to within an inch of its life and the result is a surface that's as smooth as silk.
The Good Stuff:
- It's buttery smooth to the touch you'll feel like you're wearing a cloud
- It's got some decent scuff resistance it's not going to get scratched to bits overnight
- And the finish oh boy. It's got this gorgeous, high-end sheen to it that's just irresistible
But:
- It's not exactly cheap you're going to have to part with some serious cash to get your hands on a decent nappa leather jacket
- And it can be a bit heat-sensitive so don't go trying to wear it to the oven or anything
Nappa bombers are the epitome of refinement they're so sleek and stylish, you can wear them with anything from ripped jeans to a business suit. And Glory Store USA uses nappa leather in some of its select collections for women who want to add a bit of luxury to their wardrobe without going over the top.
If you're having to choose between a comfy hooded leather jacket or a sleek bomber, nappa leather gives you the best of both worlds it's comfortable, but it's also got a certain level of sophistication to it.
8. Sheepskin & Shearling: Warmth You Can Feel

9. Suede: Soft, Stylish, and Subtle
Suede is the underside of the hide and has a velvety matte finish that’s for trendsetters. It’s softer and more flexible but needs to be handled gently.
Pros:
- Lightweight and breathable
- Texture
- Fashion
Cons:
- Absorbs moisture
- Needs waterproofing

11. Storage vs. Packing: Protecting Your Investment
Many buyers confuse leather storage and packing. Both protect your jacket, but the methods differ.
Storage (long term):
· Hang on a wide wooden hanger
· Use a breathable cotton garment bag
· Store in a cool, dark, dry place
Packing (short term):
· Roll loosely with tissue paper
· Don’t fold to prevent creases
· Use silica gel packets when traveling
Key difference: Storage is for preservation; packing is for safe transport.
A properly stored bomber jacket, whether it’s a women’s brown leather coat or a hooded bomber, can last 20+ years with minimal fading or deformation.
12. Maintenance: Keeping Leather Beautiful
Leather is durable but needs care to keep it looking its best.
Must do’s:
1. Wipe with a soft cloth after use.
2. Use a leather conditioner every few months.
3. Keep away from heat and sunlight.
4. Let damp jackets air dry naturally.
Pro Tip: Use conditioners with natural oils, not silicone. Silicone clogs pores, shortens leather life.
Glory Store USA has aftercare guides and recommends using eco-friendly conditioners compatible with all bomber materials.
Proper maintenance keeps both the look and life of your investment piece.
