Story mfg. offers-up their take on the ubiquitous MA-1 'Bomber' jacket with their Seed Bomber. Take that name how you like but this is a serious piece of kit.

The body is made from a dense weave organic cotton in Story's 'Wandering Patchwork' design, dyed with Sevilokodi and Natural Indigo. All the hallmarks are present—a cropped silhouette, flap pockets, flight book pocket on the sleeve and wide ribbed trims. In place of the usual bright orange lining on a traditional bomber, Story's interpretation features an indigo-dyed cotton with block printed checkerboard hand-applied by Sufiyan Khatri.

As part of Story's 'Wonky Wear' range there's a desire to enhance and embrace the slight imperfections of hand-made garments. Whether it's the chunky knit of the ribbing or the evidence of human hand in the lines of a stitch, there's no shortage of character.

NATURAL INDIGO: Not all indigo is the same and Story mfg. uses the best, most authentic version. Story's dyehouses use a natural form which replaces chemicals with fermented dye—a traditional method used for thousands of years.

SEVILOKODI: Rubia Cordifolia is a flowering plant in the same family as coffee which has been cultivated for dye since antiquity in Asia and the Middle East.

→ NOTE: Due to the unique dying process and handmade nature of Story mfg. no two pieces look exactly the same. Variations in colour and pattern are a design feature.
