Should Bomber Jackets Be Zipped or Unzipped?

The Subtle Statement Behind How You Wear Your Promotional Bomber Jackets

In fashion, it’s often the smallest details that say the most. How you wear your bomber jacket—zipped up or left unzipped—might seem like a casual choice, but when it comes to promotional bomber jackets, it can shape the first impression you make. So, how should they be worn?

At CraftClothing, we believe the way you style your promotional bomber jackets should depend on your goal—whether it’s creating brand visibility, commanding attention at an event, or simply looking sleek during a team rollout. Let’s break it down.

Zipped: For Impact and Uniformity

Zipping up your bomber jacket creates a clean, structured silhouette. It's sharp. It's composed. And when you're repping your business, it subtly communicates professionalism and cohesion.

Zipped jackets are perfect for:

• Corporate events where you're showcasing unity among staff or volunteers

• Team presentations where branding needs to look uniform and intentional

• Outdoor gigs where a snug, zipped look keeps the wind at bay without sacrificing style

A zipped bomber jacket acts like a mobile billboard for your brand—especially when your logo or message is front and center. It’s crisp and presentable, making it an excellent option for first impressions.

Unzipped: For Style and Approachability

Now, if you’re aiming for a more relaxed vibe—like during casual meetups, product booths, or everyday staff wear—leaving your jacket unzipped might just be the better move. It allows your inner shirt or branded tee to peek through, offering more versatility in layering and design.

Unzipped jackets:

• Show off more of your inner branding (think logo shirts or thematic color combos)

• Give off a friendlier, more laid-back energy—perfect for industries like retail or hospitality

• Allow for easier movement and airflow during warmer events

Unzipped doesn’t mean unprofessional—it means approachable. It’s confident without trying too hard.
