Boys' Bomber Jackets for Ages 2 to 8
Bomber jackets for boys aged 2 to 8 are short jackets that finish at the waist. A bomber stays out of the way on a scooter or climbing frame and does not bunch up when he sits down. It is the jacket for mild spring and autumn days, when a padded coat is too much and a hoodie on its own is not enough. For warmer coats, see Jackets & Coats.
Each jacket is sized by height in centimetres. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm and a 7-year-old 128 cm. If he is tall for his age, go up one so there is room for a jumper underneath. A bomber suits mild spells of around 10 to 15°C; below that, add a thick jumper or switch to a padded coat. The product page and care label cover fabric and washing. For older boys, see Teens.

Is a bomber jacket practical for a boy at nursery or school?
Yes. It finishes at the waist, so it stays out of the way when he sits, climbs or rides a scooter. Children start Reception at 4, and a 4-year-old usually takes 110 cm. Label it, as jackets go astray on the pegs.
