Working with a Bomber Jacket Manufacturer: How to Order Leather Bombers in Bulk
By LeatherJacket.pk team · Published · All buyer guides
The leather bomber is one of the most reliable sellers in outerwear: a short, warm jacket with a rib-knit waist and cuffs that suits most body types. That makes it a natural first style for brands, boutiques and wholesale buyers. But 'bomber' covers a lot of variations, and a bomber jacket manufacturer can only make what you clearly describe.
This guide walks through the decisions to make before you ask for a bulk quote, how sampling works for bombers, and what to check so the bulk run matches your sample.
The short answer: fix the bomber style, leather, lining, rib and hardware in one brief, add your size range and branding, approve a sample, then confirm quantities per size and the delivery country. The approved sample becomes the standard for the whole run.
Choose the bomber style first
| Style | Key features | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Classic leather bomber | Rib collar, cuffs and waistband, front zip, slash or flap pockets | Broad retail, everyday wear |
| Flight or aviator bomber | Wider collar, often shearling or fur-look, heavier build | Colder markets, winter ranges |
| Shearling-collar bomber | Classic body with a shearling collar, sometimes shearling-lined | Premium winter pieces |
| Minimal bomber | Clean front, hidden pockets, slimmer fit | Fashion-led brands |
See our leather bomber jackets page for the bomber styles we make, and how a leather bomber jacket should fit for fit points your customers will care about.
The specs to decide before asking for a quote
- Leather: cowhide, lambskin or goatskin, plus colour and finish. Our comparison of lambskin vs cowhide vs goatskin helps here.
- Rib knit: colour (matching or contrast), and whether collar, cuffs and waist all use rib.
- Lining: plain, satin, quilted or shearling, depending on the market and season.
- Hardware: zip type, colour and pull; snaps on pockets or collar.
- Pockets: slash, flap, inside pockets, and a sleeve pocket if it is a flight style.
- Fit and size range: regular or slim, and which sizes you need.
- Branding: inside labels, care labels, an outside logo if any, hangtags and packaging.
Sampling a bomber
For bulk, always approve a physical sample or, at minimum, detailed video of a finished one. On a bomber, look closely at:
- How the rib attaches to the leather: even tension, no puckering at the waist or cuffs.
- Sleeve length with the rib cuff, since bombers are meant to sit at the wrist.
- Body length, so the waistband sits at the hip rather than riding up.
- Zip alignment from waist to collar and smooth running.
- Lining comfort at the armholes.
Our step-by-step guide to ordering a sample from leather jacket manufacturers in Pakistan covers what to send and how to approve a sample.
Moving from sample to bulk
- Approve the sample in writing as the quality standard.
- Confirm the size set and quantity per size; our guide to size sets and grading explains how sizes are scaled.
- Reconfirm leather, rib and lining colours for the full run.
- Agree branding, packing and labelling per piece.
- Confirm price, timing and shipping for the run on WhatsApp.

Questions worth asking any bomber jacket manufacturer
- Will the bulk run use the same leather and rib as my sample?
- How will you show me finished pieces before they ship: photos, video or both?
- How are sizes checked against the approved sample?
- How will each jacket be packed and labelled?
- What happens if a piece arrives with a fault?
Clear, written answers to these are worth more than any claim on a website.
Planning a bomber range that sells through
When you buy bombers in bulk, the size and colour mix matters as much as the jacket itself. Base your size spread on what has sold for you before, or on your customer base, rather than ordering equal numbers of every size. Black and brown are the usual core colours for leather bombers; a seasonal colour can be added once the core sells.
Think about the climate your customers live in. A lightweight lambskin bomber with a plain lining suits mild winters and evenings, while a cowhide bomber with a quilted lining or shearling collar suits colder markets. If you sell in both, it may make sense to run two versions of the same pattern rather than two completely different jackets, which keeps fit consistent across your range.
Finally, plan packaging and labelling with the jacket, not after it. Hangtags, care labels and how each piece is folded or hung for shipping all affect how the bomber looks when your customer opens it. Our guide to leather jacket packaging for export covers the options.
Warning signs when choosing a bomber maker
Be cautious if a maker will only show catalogue photos and not a finished piece on video, cannot tell you the leather type in one clear line, or avoids questions about faults and remakes. Also be wary of anyone promising a price before seeing your design, or pushing for full payment before the details are written down. A good manufacturer asks you questions first, because they need your specs to quote properly.
It also helps to start with a manageable first order. Running one bomber style in a couple of colours lets you judge the fit, finish and communication before you widen the range. If you are new to bulk buying, read leather jacket MOQ explained for how order quantities are usually discussed.
