Product Overview
The Calais Bomber Jacket is a robust solution for professionals facing the unpredictable British elements. Engineered to offer complete protection against wet and windy conditions, this jacket combines a waterproof exterior with a warm fleece-lined interior. It is designed for those who require a dependable outer layer that maintains a sharp, professional appearance without compromising on warmth or functionality.
Key Features
- The fully waterproof and windproof shell ensures you remain dry and shielded from biting winds during long shifts outdoors.
- A soft fleece lining in the body provides essential thermal insulation, keeping your core warm in colder climates.
- Padded sleeves offer additional warmth while maintaining the flexibility needed for manual tasks.
- The clever pack-away hood provides versatile protection that can be stowed away when the rain ceases, reducing bulk around the collar.
- Hook and loop adjustable cuffs allow for a secure fit, preventing draughts and moisture from entering the sleeves.
- Zipped lower pockets provide secure storage for essential tools or personal items, keeping them dry and accessible.
Design & Performance
This jacket is constructed from a hard-wearing polyester pongee fabric with a PVC coating, providing a resilient barrier against the environment. The choice of a substantial outer fabric ensures longevity, even in demanding work settings. Inside, the body is lined with a medium-weight fleece, while the sleeves utilise a smooth taffeta lining for easy layering over sweatshirts or polo shirts. The inclusion of polyester filling in the sleeves ensures consistent warmth without the weight of traditional heavy coats.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Calais Bomber Jacket is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing your team to maintain a unified corporate identity. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a sophisticated, high-end finish, particularly for company logos and individual names on the chest. The textured fleece lining does not interfere with the external application, ensuring a clean result.
For larger, high-impact branding on the back, our print services offer a bold and clear alternative. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, ensuring your branding is applied with the precision that our customers have expected since 1976.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for site managers, delivery drivers, and outdoor maintenance teams who require protection from rain and wind. Its classic black colour and bomber silhouette make it a versatile choice for both site work and customer-facing roles where a professional image is paramount.

Practical Advice
The bomber style provides a slightly shorter fit than a parka, making it ideal for those who are frequently entering and exiting vehicles. For maximum thermal efficiency in sub-zero temperatures, we recommend layering this jacket over one of our medium-weight sweatshirts or fleeces.
Caring for your product
To maintain the waterproof integrity and appearance of your jacket, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Exceeding this temperature can damage the PVC coating and affect the longevity of the fabric.
Bleaching agents should be avoided at all costs, as they will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the black pigment to fade prematurely. Similarly, the garment should not be tumble dried; instead, we advise drip line drying. High heat from a dryer can warp the shell fabric and compromise the waterproof seals.
Ironing is not permitted for this garment, as the heat can melt the PVC coating and damage the internal fleece. Finally, do not dry clean this jacket, as the chemical solvents used in the process can strip away the protective outer layers.
