Teenage Boys' Bomber Jackets
A teenage boy bomber jacket is the short jacket that finishes at the waist, and MINOTI makes bombers for boys aged 8 to 15. The cropped shape stays out of the way on a bike or a scooter, and it sits neatly over a hoodie or a school jumper. It suits the in-between weeks of spring and autumn, when a full coat is too much and a hoodie on its own is not enough.
When choosing a boys' bomber jacket for age 10, 146 cm is the usual size. If he wears a thick hoodie underneath, or is near the top of his height band, go up one size so the shoulders are not tight. Bombers are cut to finish at the waist, so extra length matters less than it does with a longer coat. Check the care label on each style before the first wash.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's teenage boys' bomber jackets are waist-length jackets for boys aged 8 to 15 in centimetre sizes, and a boys' bomber jacket for age 9 usually comes in 140 cm.
What size bomber jacket should a 12-year-old boy wear?
Most 12-year-olds take 158 cm in a boys' bomber jacket for age 12. If he is tall for his age or wears a thick jumper underneath, go up one to 164 cm for more room across the shoulders and arms.
Is a bomber jacket warm enough for an 11-year-old in winter?
Not on its own, as a bomber is best for spring and autumn. For a boys' bomber jacket at age 11, usually 152 cm, layer a jumper or hoodie under it on colder days, or switch to a longer coat from Jackets & Coats in midwinter.
