Are you looking for a fun bomber jacket that fits your curves? The Kimball Bomber Jacket is for you. Featuring cup sizes from C-H and bust darts for shaping, it has a relaxed fit through the shoulders and back so you get the classic bomber jacket look, but is neat through the bust and shoulders so you’re not overwhelmed with fabric. It also features awesome quilted sleeves, a clean-finish faced zipper, and handy angled zipper pockets. The unlined jacket is slightly cropped, and is finished with ribbed cuffs, hem band and neckband, and has bound seams for a beautiful finish inside.
