4B W5188 Bomber - Black Oversized Boiled Wool Doubled Nylon Sleeves High Neck Italian Women's
Felted Warmth, Technical Arms
Two materials that should not meet, cut into one oversized bomber. The body is boiled wool: dense, matte, softly felted, warm the way only wool can be. The sleeves are doubled nylon: smooth, slightly glossy, built to take wear. A high neck closes out the cold and a coulisse at the hem lets you pull the volume in or let it fall. LA HAINE INSIDE US, Italian avant-garde, Made In Italy.
Why This Bomber Is Different
- Boiled wool body: felted, dense, and naturally water-resistant, unlike flat woven wool that lets wind straight through.
- Doubled nylon sleeves: a two-layer technical sleeve that resists abrasion exactly where a jacket wears out first.
- Material contrast: matte felted wool against smooth nylon gives an all-black piece real texture and depth.
- Oversized cut: generous through body and shoulder, built for layering over knitwear.
- High neck: a tall collar that shields the throat from wind without needing a scarf.
- Adjustable bottom coulisse: cinch the hem for a classic blouson shape or release it for a straight, boxy line.
- Zip closure: quick, clean fastening that keeps the front minimal.
- Lined with pockets: slides on smoothly over layers, with pockets for everyday essentials.
- Natural fibre warmth: wool is renewable and breathable, regulating temperature instead of trapping sweat like synthetic padding.
- Made In Italy: cut and constructed in Italy.

The Moment You Put It On
The lining slides over your sweater and the weight settles on your shoulders, substantial but soft. You run a hand down the front and feel the felted wool, dense and velvety, then down the arm to cool, smooth nylon. Two textures, one jacket, and your fingers keep going back to the seam where they meet.
Zip it to the top and the high neck closes around you like a wall against the wind. Pull the coulisse and the hem gathers into a proper bomber shape; let it loose and it drops into a boxy architectural block. It is the jacket that makes jeans and a tee look intentional on the coldest morning of the year.
The Art of Boiled Wool
Boiled wool starts as a knitted fabric that is washed in hot water and agitated until the fibres shrink and lock together, felting into a dense, compact cloth. The process closes the gaps between the stitches, so the finished fabric blocks wind, sheds light rain, and holds warmth far better than its weight suggests. It also will not fray when cut, which is why boiled wool keeps clean, sharp edges. Where padded synthetic bombers rely on bulk, this delivers warmth through structure, with a breathable, renewable natural fibre.
The Art of Doubled Nylon
Sleeves take the most abuse on any jacket: elbows bend, cuffs rub against desks and bags. Doubling the nylon puts two layers where one usually sits, giving the arms body, a clean shape, and resistance to scuffing and wind. The smooth, faintly glossy surface also creates the jacket's signature contrast against the matte wool, a technical-meets-traditional clash that is pure LA HAINE INSIDE US.
How to Wear It
- Gathered and classic: coulisse cinched, over a hoodie with straight jeans and chunky boots.
- Released and boxy: hem left loose over a long knit dress and flat boots for an architectural line.
- Evening: zipped high over a black slip skirt, the texture contrast doing the talking.
- Travel: with wide trousers and sneakers, warm enough to replace a heavy coat on a winter trip.
Care Instructions
- Dry clean recommended to protect the felted wool and nylon sleeves.
- Never machine wash or tumble dry: boiled wool will shrink and felt further.
- Spot clean with a damp cloth; brush the wool gently to lift surface dust.
- Do not iron the nylon sleeves; steam the wool body lightly if needed.
- Hang on a wide shoulder hanger and air between wears.
- Store with cedar or lavender to protect the wool from moths.
- Do not bleach.
