Is your appearance a bit dangerous but also stylish? One who knows dance steps and table manners, but does not lose a finger pulling match to a lout bothering your evening? This classic Wool Bomber Jacket oozes such sharpness but the appropriate skills you can't buy.
A short jacket accentuates the waist and makes your physique appear taller and stronger. These also have a long military heritage as flight jackets and tank crew jackets had a short waist for practical reasons. By the end of WWII, most armies fighting on the European continent issued such jackets as the British Battledress Blouse or US Tanker Jacket.
The Jämä Wool Bomber Jacket is a continuation of this family of jackets and true to the archetypal form: later on, it will be impossible to date these to a certain year or fashion trend as it's a timeless piece of garment.
The jacket has everything necessary and as little as possible: ribbed hem, cuffs, and collar, zip-up front, and two front pockets. The streamlined details make it a swell thermal layer under a shell jacket in foul weather.
Made in Finland.

Size Info
Designed for layering in varying conditions, the jacket allows for a thick woolly pully without binding. If you are commonly between two sizes, the smaller one may be advisable in this case.
Below, you'll find measurements of the garment itself. The widths are measured laid flat, the chest is from armpit to armpit. The center back length is measured from the bottom of the collar and the sleeve length from the shoulder seam, including the cuff.

Jämä is dead, long live Jämä
January 27, 2023: we have decided to end the Jämä brand. The nature of surplus materials always made it difficult to maintain the selection of products, and consistency was a struggle. At some point, we realized that the hit products Luhka and Blanket Shirt themselves were far stronger than the parent brand, and our efforts to make Särmä more sustainable have brought it to a point where these Jämä products actually fit nicely under that umbrella.
As military history shows, don't get into a war on two fronts if you can help it. To focus our efforts better, we're pulling the plug on Jämä but the two most popular garments, the Luhka and Blanket Shirt, become Särmä items. Small-batch projects from surplus materials are possible in the future and will be Särmä as well.

Quality-wise, there is nothing to fault, every stitch and detail is spot on. You pay for the quality of the fabric and the skilled work that went into it, not random details and gimmicks or in-your-face branding.
The fit is good, I'm at the upper end of the recommended chest size for XL and it fits perfectly. I can fit a sweater underneath without binding, and the jacket doesn't look excessively baggy if I wear it by itself. Lengthwise you would only face problems if you're very tall and/or have a rather long torso, but that's common to all bomber jackets.
This is really a "10/10 get one now!" review, but I'm holding half a star back, just in case the fabric doesn't wear as well as I think it will. I'm pretty sure it will last a long time, though.

1) Can be worn as layer L3 or L4 'stand alone'
2) Extremely useful as layer L3/L4 under leather jackets instead of 'crappy' synthetic fleece.
3) A great supplement to the Jämä Blanket Shirt for outdoor survivalkit.
Note:
I will add myself additional 500D Cordura elbow and shoulder reinforcements for more durability.

A note on the fit, specific to me. I opted for a medium even though I'm 6'2" because I wanted to use this to layer under rather than over other items. I noticed that the back length was the same between medium and large, so I thought, "Perfect, I'll get the more snug fit that I want without risking going too short on the back (since I assumed the large size would have a back length that would fit me best)."
Turns out that the length is not quite long enough for my long torso, so this jacket rides up on me. Otherwise, I nailed the fit I was looking for. Still plenty of arm and shoulder room in a medium for a lanky guy, but snug enough that I could wear a canvas bomber over it.
I knew this was a bomber design, so I understood I was going to be cutting it close in back length. Every body is different, but if you think you have a longer-than-average torso relative to your other proportions, maybe reconsider.
