    This was my neighbor's Xmas gift to me, she got it at the GW. It was a bit of a joke gift, and she said "I could sell it on Ebay if I wanted." Not a huge value, but maybe $35-50 on a good day and turns out I'm not wearing it, so time to list!

    Just a few quick questions. What kind of flowers are on the back other than a rose or two and a violet. Are they mums?

    Also would I call this a "bomber jacket"? j4.jpg

    Just my 2 cents but I would call it just a jacket. I took a quick look searching and it appears that this most popular keyword since yours appears not to have a hood making it a hoodie.
    wait for the fashion folks to chime in.

    The red and white petals resemble spider chrysanthemum blooms falling apart. The purple might be a rose.

    Chrysanthemum blooms. I think that's it! Thanks, Bakers.

    Chrysanths are surprisingly accurate. God knows what that blue thing is meant to be, it ain't no violet.

    Pearls, just noticed your response. Not sure why I missed that first time around. Yes, I want to avoid the word hoodie for sure. Important! Thanks. :)

    OBB, I agree some of the flowers are sort of fantasy flowers.

    They're called bomber jackets here. YMMV.

    I think the blue is meant to be a delphineum.

    Woodcut depiction of a delphineum by Japanese artist.

    Bomber jackets here are assumed to be leather unless specified otherwise, and the sleeves and jacket body are the same color. Generally with a sheepskin-lined collar. No one in the USA looking for a bomber jacket would want this. They're all based off of WWII military aviation gear. Probably in the UK too. This one is based on a high school or university athletic jacket.

    I can't spell delphinium today.

    Here, bomber jacket is almost anything a tad blouson, sitting on the waist, with stretchy cuff and waist bands and a zip. If you google Juicy Couture bomber jacket, there's shed loads of them.

    No wonder they haven't sold them; no one's looking under that name.:kiss::kiss:
