PSA: Mango Bomber Jacket $39.99 VIDEO ADDED

hthomas · January 2015

Just wanted to pass this along to anyone who might be interested. The Mango Bomber Jacket is on sale. This could be a very good option to the Tom Ford Spectre jacket.

does it look as high quality as it does in the pictures? I saw blair's picture and it didn't have the same texture as the Tom Ford.

For £25 ??? I would hope not as good as TF !

I have one and its a great jacket, wearing well and a nice fit. Defo worth the small amount they are charging...

I got myself the one from Zara, it's currently also on sale (base price was around 150$, currently it's around 70$ in Poland, so I bet anywhere else too). It's not black/navy though but I actually love the colour and the fit is gorgeous!

I'm probably gonna go to the Mango store in Copenhagen tomorrow and check it out and perhaps buy it. I can do a little write up afterwards.

indeed, one of his day-glow 80's clod-hoppers makes for a perfect sleeping bag.

If you can, could you remove the fur collar to see what it looks like without it? Also the fit and finish. Thanks.

006G · January 2015

Wondering if I can take the Mango Jacket to a Taylor and have him remove the flaps of the side pockets and remove the zip hider.

hthomas · January 2015

When my jacket arrives I will do a video on it with and without the fur collar!

Colonel Duke · January 2015

I ordered one of these on Christmas, though I can't comment on how they fit or look because one week later they cancelled my order after charging my card.

I called customer service and was told, "that just happens sometimes." It took around 10 days to be refunded for the purchase I never received and they cancelled. I was told to order again even though they still had my money! Hope everyone else has a better experience.

Mango's customer service are a nightmare, I know this from previous experiences.

MrZareba · January 2015

But isn't the Zara one actually a better alternative? It has not a detachable collar, it is made out of synthetic nubuck leather and it's tight fitted - which makes it a close alternative. The one thing that is off is of course the colour but I'm thinking about dyeing it.

Smithers500 · January 2015

I initially bought the Zara one, then returned it when I saw the TF coat had a wool like material, rather than the sheepskin type look/feel the Zara one has.

The Mango coat is great, I thought that when I paid £42, if it's now £29.99 it is an absolute steal!

chriscollins007 · January 2015

If you go for one , best to size up
according to their size guide I was supposed to be a M but needed a L
Excellent jacket and cracking value for money.
fingers crossed its a TF alternative seen in the movie 8-)

All Saints have a fur collared short bomber, with large zipped pockets and a biker style slant full zip. Very nice and 50% off at £129......

Martin Aston · January 2015

I bought the Mango version before Christmas and I'd advise you all to go up a size as it's a very snug fit. I usually buy a UK size small in jackets (38" chest) but I had to get a medium.
It's also very warm, I wore it out last weekend with just a wool jumper underneath and it kept me very warm, which was surprising considering how crap the weather is here in London at the moment.

Martin Aston · January 2015

MrZareba I saw that one in Zara when I was over in Dublin and nearly bought it but they didn't have my size, that's another one you'd have to get a larger size in. I'd be interested to see a couple of pictures of it being worn as it does look good.

I can upload some pictures of it later

I bought an XL (I'm 195cm tall, 104cm chest currently) and since I lost some weight recently it fits almost perfectly. I have to loose another 3-4 kg maybe and it will look absolutely stunning, it's definitely not a garnment for couch potatoes!

I don't know about the material though. Seems like a nylon or something.

Sir Miles · January 2015

Thanks for the feedback, gents -{

Probably best to go to my nearest store and try one on...

Westward_Drift · January 2015

So did everyone who sized up live in Britain or Europe? Since the sizing in the US in different (a US L is a UK/Eur XL) would the US be true to size?

I am in the US and I have found Mango to be true to my size. I will report back when mine gets here in the next week.

Jacob · January 2015

Sadly, the Mango store in Copenhagen was only women's wear, so I didn't have the chance to look at it in person...

chriscollins007 · January 2015

this is the large size , crap photo but might help with sizing

MrZareba · January 2015

Here is the one from Zara. My lifted arm kind of destroys the whole fit but you might have an idea how it looks like

hthomas · January 2015

Mine is out for delivery. I will report back with pics and a full video review!

hthomas · January 2015

Mine just got here. Instantly feel in love with this jacket! It is really nice! I got a small and it fits very well. Its snug but there is still plenty of room. I must say its a great alternative to the Tom Ford jacket. Especially at $40!!

I will have a video of it hopefully later tonight.

Here are some pics.

MrZareba · January 2015

The jacket seems to be a relaxed fit as I see? I'm really not sure if the Zara one is not a better alternative with a very narrow cut, something Craig would wear in a hero shot.
