A bomber is defined by its three ribbed edges - collar, cuffs and hem - and by the fact that everything between them is smooth. Break that rule and it becomes something else entirely.
This one keeps all three and adds only what it needs: a plain snap front, and two large flap pockets set low and square on the body. The faux leather is pale and matte, which is unusual for the shape and is most of the reason it does not read as a motorcycle jacket, and the whole thing is cropped to sit just at the top of the hip.
It is the most classical shape in outerwear rendered in the least classical colour, and that is the entire idea.
