When Northrop Grumman unveiled the B-2, better known as the ‘Stealth Bomber,’ it looked like it had arrived from another planet – but that’s only if you actually got to see it in the first place.
Known as a ‘flying wing’ it was so minimalist that it didn’t even have a fuselage or a tail. Its engines were buried within its wing to minimise their exhaust signature. It used multi-spectral camouflage that reduced acoustic, infrared, visual and radar signatures. And while it was 69ft long, 17ft high and had a wingspan of 172ft – and there was even a camp bed, a toilet, and space to prepare a hot meal – on radar it was the same size as a bird. So we decided to bring the same high-performance and minimalist design to the bomber jacket.
With our Stealth Bomber, we’ve taken the original bomber jacket back to its high-performance roots a century after it was first invented. We’ve rebuilt it with Swiss material technology that’s as strong as our 100 Year gear, and stretches to 1.5x its own length in any direction. It’s weatherproof, breathable, and comes with minimalist pockets, lockable zips, and bonded detailing. And while the B-2 has to be stored in a $5m climate-controlled hangar to maintain its stealth coating, our Stealth Bomber can be hung in a normal wardrobe.
