You very well might recognize the famed and much-loved brand featured in today’s Sunday Sale, and that’s great news, indeed. It might seem like an unusual time to recommend that you buy one of the best bomber jackets around, but when the jacket in question is the Taylor Stitch Bomber Jacket, and when that jacket is 20 percent off via the excellent Taylor Stitch Workshop, well, it’s a deal that’s not to be missed. You very well recognize Taylor Stitch from other blog features, including a look at some of the best men’s summer pants, plus my recommendation on a sub-$100 Taylor Stitch shirt, but the brand really doesn’t just do one thing well: They do plenty of men’s style essentials very well across the board, and I’m not just saying that. If you’ve tried the brand, you know. If not, well, a 20 percent discount on one of the best men’s bomber jackets is a great way to get up to speed with what the San Francisco-based brand is all about.

It helps that this rugged men’s bomber jacket retails now for below $240, a downright steal when you consider how well it’s made. Now, this seems to be the case with nearly every other launch in the Taylor Stitch Workshop, but it’s especially true of the brand’s outerwear. These pieces are so essential and well-made, it’s wonder that they retail for 20 percent off and even lower, particularly when you take a closer look at the cool-as-can-be Taylor Stitch Bomber Jacket. It won’t ship until mid-September, but that’s even better: You’ll be primed and ready to layer up with your new favorite bomber jacket come early fall. And my oh my, what a piece you’re getting with one of the best men’s bomber jackets.

SHOP: The Taylor Stitch Bomber Jacket

Your new favorite bomber jacket has all the proper specs you’d expect from a brand like Taylor Stitch, after all. Taylor Stitch’s West Coast roots and San Fran presence both mean that they haven’t cut corners when it comes to weather-ready performance. The Taylor Stitch Bomber Jacket in Waxed Navy is made with a 5.5oz. waxed cotton from famed purveyors Halley Stevenson, a U.K. heritage company that makes some of the hardest-wearing fabrics on the planet. Wool and acrylic ribbing at the cuffs and collar helps with a warming, yet not sweltering, finish. And of course, the brand’s signature organic cotton vintage SF map print lining gives the Taylor Stitch Bomber Jacket in Waxed Navy a cool and one-of-a-kind finish. And yet, this all rolls into an easy-wearing, versatile jacket that’ll prove more than adequate for the in-between weather that tends to roll through town between September and October.

The excellent thing is, you can wear this jacket casually (with a rugged Taylor Stitch henley) and with a bit more polish in mind (say, atop a Taylor Stitch Oxford shirt). It’ll resist wind and rain nicely, and when you’re not wearing it on the road, it certainly shouldn’t prove too bulky to pack up. And again, it’s quite helpful that it retails for 20 percent off right now. Shop in advance, stock up accordingly and then layer up come early fall with what I’d certainly call your new favorite bomber jacket. Happy shopping and good luck out there, folks.
