When it comes to building a versatile wardrobe, a solid lineup of jackets is a must. A great jacket should do more than keep you warm, it should also look good.

The hoody from Arc'teryx hits the mark on all counts. It provides impressive warmth for its weight, an air-permeable shell, and a comfortable fit.

2. Alpha Industries Heritage MA-1 Bomber

Originally designed to help fighter pilots with potentially life-saving support as they endured bone-crushing G-forces, the iconic MA-1 flight jacket has since become a staple of men’s fashion. While it may not have the reversible orange lining of its military counterpart, this version from Alpha Industries keeps as close to classic military specifications as possible—making it the perfect jacket for any modern man to wear.

The Alpha Industries Heritage MA-1 Bomber jacket offers a sleek look that gives off Top Gun vibes. It features a knit ribbing, an optional 'Remove Before Flight’ tag in the right arm pocket, and a cool Sage color that’ll look good with everything from earthen tones to blue jeans.

For those who want a slightly more rugged look, Sunspel’s handsome knit bomber jacket is another great choice. The English heritage brand takes a different approach to the classic outerwear staple by combining it with a rich lambswool and plush cashmere blend. The result is a lightweight and comfortable jacket that can be worn anywhere—from work to the weekend. It also goes well with a casual t-shirt and expertly faded jeans.

3. Tom Beckbe Tensaw Jacket

If you’re a bird dog owner, hunter, or merely appreciate the quality of American-made clothes, you know Tom Beckbe. Founded by Radcliff Menge, the Alabama-based brand was created for folks who value quality. From the onset, their clothing has been made to stand up to tough conditions — like wading through pine brush in winter. Their flagship jacket is the Tensaw Field Coat.

A dapper alternative to a Barbour coat, this waxed canvas jacket is built to last. Its 8oz waxed shelter cloth shell is complemented by a Southwestern-inspired red clay cotton liner. Its four front pockets and hidden Napoleon pocket add utility, while the classic sport coat cut dresses it up for work or a casual night out.

The antique brass hardware is durable and the Tensaw’s gusseted underarms and bi-swing back provide ample range of motion. The Tensaw also has the comfort features needed for a long upland hunt or even a day of wing shooting. And if you ever get any stains, the waxed canvas is easy to clean.

4. Thursday Boot Company Waxed Canvas Field Jacket

If you’re looking for something a little lighter in color and style, Thursday Boot Company offers a few options. The Scout chukka is an excellent choice at $149 and has a Goodyear welt for resolvability in the future. It pairs well with henleys, casual button-downs and even denim shirts. You can also opt for the President version with a padded cuff and more hardware for those who like a bit more visual interest on their feet.

The Field jacket is a great option for guys who don’t want the bulk of a full-on military coat but still require something substantial to get through spring and fall (and even chillier summer evenings). The American-made 10 oz Martexin canvas gets better with age, while brass buttons and cotton flannel body lining provide a comfortable fit.

The look isn’t quite as refined as the nylon MA-1 bomber (popularized by Kanye West), but it does have a rebellious, hardwearing edge to it. The shorter cut, corduroy collar and heavy zippers are enough to set this apart from other waxed canvas options.

5. Bradley Mountain G-1 Bomber

The leather bomber jacket for men is a safe choice for guys who want to keep things simple. The soft and short pile design adds a little texture to your look while keeping you dry from the rain. Whether you opt for black or navy, it's a great choice for your weekend training session or casual Sunday stroll.

Tom Cruise wore this style as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell in 1986's Top Gun, and it remains the most popular model of military-inspired bomber jackets. Typically decorated with cloth patches and insignia, this jacket is a bit more stylish than your average trucker or hunting jacket, but it also carries a sense of confidence and individuality that sets you apart.

This version from Bradley Mountain is an example of a sleek bomber jacket that doesn't rely on cloth patches for its visual appeal. It's made in England from hardy, 6 oz waxed canvas and features corduroy accents to keep you comfortable. Wear this with a tucked in cotton shirt, dark chinos or corduroy pants to create a versatile outfit you can turn to when the temperature drops.
