Custom Bomber Jacket Manufacturer

A bomber is the first jacket most streetwear brands make and the first place a cheap factory shows: flat rib that will not recover, a zip that ripples the placket and a lining that bags at the hem. The rib and the zip are the product.

Mike Apparel manufactures custom bomber jackets in nylon, satin, cotton twill, wool blend or leather-look shells with a full quilted or plain lining, heavy 2×2 rib at collar, cuffs and hem, a YKK front zip, sleeve pocket and welt or zip pockets. Mike Apparel is a custom bomber jacket manufacturer with a 50-piece minimum per design, a 2–3 weeks production window after sample approval and full private label on every run.

Fabric options for custom jackets

Fabric decides most of what a customer feels, so we quote every custom jacket against a specific cloth rather than a vague ‘premium cotton’. The options below are stocked or knitted to order in Sialkot; lab dips and hand-feel swatches ship before sampling. For the bomber jacket most brands start with Nylon flight satin 240 GSM and step up to Cotton twill 10 oz when they want casual bomber, prints and embroidery well.

Bomber Jacket fits we build

We build the pattern on one of the blocks below or from your own measurements, grade it across XS to 3XL for the US market, and confirm every size on the sample before cutting bulk. The most requested bomber jacket block is the regular MA-1 fit.

• Regular MA-1 fit
• Oversized boxy bomber
• Cropped bomber (women's)
• Longline bomber

Construction details

These are the construction details we specify by default on a custom jacket. Each one can be changed in the tech pack, and each one shows up in the pre-production sample so nothing is a surprise in bulk. On a bomber jacket the detail buyers notice first is the heavy 2×2 rib collar, cuffs and hem with high spandex for recovery.

• Heavy 2×2 rib collar, cuffs and hem with high spandex for recovery
• YKK #5 or #8 front zip, two-way on longline
• Quilted diamond or channel lining, or plain taffeta
• Welt pockets with snaps, sleeve utility pocket with zip
• Bagged lining with a clean hem finish

Printing, embroidery and finishing

Print, embroidery and wash are done in-house, so the jacket and its decoration ship as one finished product with one point of responsibility. Bomber Jacket artwork usually goes on as chenille and satin-stitch embroidery on back and chest.

• Chenille and satin-stitch embroidery on back and chest
• Chain-stitch souvenir embroidery
• Woven patches and sleeve badges
• Screen print on twill shells
• Custom zipper pullers and rib in contrast colour

Private label, labels and packaging

Private label is included, not an upsell. A custom jacket from Mike Apparel ships with your woven or printed neck label, size tab, care label and, if you want them, hang tags, custom poly bags and printed boxes. Send vector artwork and we produce label samples alongside the garment sample. See our private label clothing page for label types, minimums and artwork specs. For bomber jacket orders we recommend a woven neck label plus a printed care label as the minimum; hang tags and varsity bomber packaging are added at your choice.

Custom jacket price bands

Pricing for a custom jacket is driven by fabric weight, decoration and quantity. The bands below are per piece for the constructions on this page at typical spec, and every quote is itemised so you can see exactly what moves the number. For reference, a bomber jacket run of 50 pieces in Nylon flight satin 240 GSM with one embroidery and private labels sits close to the middle of the first band.

All figures exclude shipping. We quote air and sea DDP to your US address on every order. Payment is 50% deposit at sample approval and 50% before shipment. For a bomber jacket order of 50 pieces, sampling is billed at roughly $70–$169 and refunded against bulk.

Lead time and production process

How an order for jackets moves through the factory, with the timing for each stage. A first bomber jacket order usually moves from brief to delivered goods in five to six weeks.

2. Pre-production sample (7–10 days)One jacket in your fabric, fit, colour and branding. Revisions until approved. Read about the sampling process.
3. Approval and depositSign off the sample and size set; 50% deposit reserves fabric and the production slot.
4. Bulk production (2–3 weeks)Cutting, sewing, wash, decoration, labelling, QC and packing in-house, with photo updates.
5. QC and DDP shipping (4–7 days by air)Inspection against the approved sample, then DDP delivery with duties paid. See our full timeline guide.

Made for US brands, shipped worldwide

We built our jacket programme around US brands: sampling calls in Eastern and Pacific time, US sizing on every block, and DDP delivery to your door or your fulfilment centre with nothing to pay at the border. Brands in Los Angeles, Miami and across the country reorder on the same block every season. Details on streetwear manufacturing for USA brands and DDP shipping. Bomber Jacket orders to the USA are usually air-freighted; a 50-piece run weighs little enough that air costs only a few dollars per piece more than sea.
