Quilted Bomber Jacket
This quilted bomber jacket pairs a cropped, streamlined silhouette with genuine cold-weather performance — not just the quilted look without the substance behind it. The curved quilting isn't purely decorative either; it's a functional pattern that helps keep the down insulation evenly distributed rather than shifting into clumps after repeated wear.
The Shell
The outer is a 100% polyester shell at 110 GSM, woven in a 60D denier for a fabric that's genuinely tough for its weight rather than fragile like lower-denier alternatives. It's finished with a PFAS-free DWR treatment, a water-repellent coating that causes moisture to bead and roll off the surface rather than soaking in — a meaningful, verifiable feature rather than a vague "weather resistant" claim, and one increasingly relevant as PFAS-based treatments get phased out across the industry. It sits within our wider Quilted Jacket collection if you want to compare cuts and colours.
The Insulation
Inside, 700-fill-power down provides genuine warmth-to-weight efficiency — a higher fill power means more loft and heat retention per gram of down, which is why this jacket stays light despite its 180 GSM insulation weight. The shell and lining are sewn-through, meaning the outer fabric and lining are stitched together with insulation held between them in defined channels, rather than a floating fill that can bunch or thin out unevenly over time. Precision quilt stitching with controlled spacing keeps those curved panel lines clean and consistent across the jacket, using bonded nylon thread for a seam that holds under regular wear.
Fit and Wear
The bomber-inspired cut keeps the silhouette cropped and closer to the body than a traditional puffer coat, making it easy to layer under a coat or wear on its own over knitwear. Check our Size Guide before ordering, since a cropped, fitted style like this sits differently than a looser puffer cut. For colder days where you'd want a heavier wool layer instead, our Peacoat collection is worth a look, though this jacket's down fill holds its own in most UK winter conditions given the fill power and weight.
Care
Spot clean where possible, and follow the garment's care label for full washing — down-filled jackets generally need gentler handling than synthetic-fill alternatives to keep the insulation from clumping.
FAQ
Is this jacket waterproof or just water-resistant?
It's water-repellent, not waterproof. The PFAS-free DWR treatment on the shell causes light rain and moisture to bead and roll off the surface, but it isn't designed to withstand prolonged, heavy exposure the way a fully waterproof shell would.
How warm is 700-fill-power down?
700 fill power is a genuinely good warmth-to-weight ratio — high enough to trap significant heat without needing a heavy fill weight, which is why this jacket stays lightweight at 180 GSM of insulation rather than feeling bulky.
Will the insulation shift or clump over time?
It shouldn't under normal wear. The sewn-through construction stitches the shell and lining together in defined channels, keeping the down held in place rather than free-floating inside the jacket.
