Product Insights

Y-3's Nylon Bomber Jacket offers an architectural A-line silhouette through broadened shoulders and tapered hem, crafted from matte nylon twill that drapes fluidly without bulk while resisting wrinkles and enhancing breathability for 10–20°C wear. Its oversized cut at ~900g allows chunky sweaters underneath, cinched by ribbed trims to prevent sloppiness, and asymmetrical sleeve and chest pockets add workwear edge. Priced at $895 CAD, significantly lower than comparables like Off-White, the jacket trades water resistance and pocket security for avant-garde design and easy care (machine washable).

Verified claims

Silhouette
Broadened shoulders and tapered hem create an architectural A-line silhouette.
Material
Matte nylon twill with lightweight fill drapes fluidly without bulk.

Layering

Drape
Nylon twill drapes softly and fluidly, unlike stiff plain-weave nylon.
Wrinkle recovery
Twill weave resists wrinkles better than plain weave, keeping the jacket neat.
Breathability
The nylon twill weave is more breathable than plain-weave nylon, reducing clamminess.

The nylon twill features a matte, dry finish that avoids the shiny polyamide sheen.
Oversized cut
Oversized cut (61 cm half-chest in S) creates an A-line silhouette for layering, cinched by ribbed trims to prevent sloppiness.
Fabric finish
Matte nylon twill provides a fluid drape and resists wrinkles, keeping black-on-black outfits sleek.
Pocket design
Sleeve flap pocket and slanted chest pockets add asymmetric utility detailing that pairs best with cargo trousers.
