Bombers Away!

T.O. television personality Dan Levy may have inherited his taste in glasses from comedian dad Eugene, but when it comes to hip togs, he’s got his own amazing sense of style. Here, he picks the season’s hottest new takes on the men’s leather bomber.

LEVY’S TOP PICK

ROOTS $588

“This is my favourite. It’s a cool play on the classic bomber jacket. I loved it because it’s both brown and black, and a lot of times when you’re shopping for leather, the decision is: do you go brown or do you go black? It has a really old-school, old- Hollywood, James Dean look to it. It’s simple and not too embellished.”

Where to get it: Roots 1073 Yonge St., 416-927-1989

 

MACKAGE $970

“Mackage makes great leather. This continues the shearling trend. It’s good quality and it’s Canadian.”

Where to get it: Stylexchange, 220 Yonge St., 647-352-3727

 

BURBERRY BRIT $1,695

“This is one of the be-all and end- all pieces. This is the classic aviator bomber. You can never go wrong. It never goes out of style.”

Where to get it: Rudsak, 315 Queen St. W., 416-595-9661

 

V.SP $2195
