About Us
Remember the first time you saw someone wearing a classic bomber jacket and thought, "Now that's cool"? That feeling never gets old. And here at Coed Los Angeles, we've made it our mission to keep that timeless 1980s swagger alive and accessible for everyone who gets it.
We're not just another vintage clothing retailer. We're a crew of passionate enthusiasts who believe that the iconic style of the 1980s bomber jacket deserves to be more than a museum piece or an overpriced collector's item gathering dust. It deserves to be worn, loved, and lived in—without breaking your bank account.
Our Story: Where Nostalgia Meets the Streets of LA
Coed Los Angeles was born from a simple frustration. Our founder, a lifelong lover of authentic '80s style, was tired of seeing incredible vintage bomber jackets either locked behind ridiculous price tags or reproduced so poorly they looked like Halloween costumes. There had to be a better way—a way to honor the craftsmanship and attitude of the original 1980s bomber jacket while making it attainable for today's style-conscious rebels.
Starting from a small warehouse in the heart of Los Angeles in 2019, we set out with one goal: to bridge the gap between authentic vintage aesthetics and modern accessibility. We spent months—honestly, it felt like years—studying original military surplus jackets, analyzing the stitching patterns, understanding the fabric weights, and obsessing over every zipper pull and ribbed cuff detail that made those original bombers so special.
Fast forward to 2026, and we're proud to say we've built something real. Something that respects where these jackets came from while making them available to anyone who wants to own a piece of that legendary decade.
What Makes Us Different
Let's be honest—there are plenty of places selling "bomber jackets" online. But here's what sets Coed Los Angeles apart:
Authenticity Without the Vintage Price Tag
We've cracked the code on delivering authentic 1980s bomber jacket style without forcing you to take out a second mortgage. Our jackets capture every detail that made the originals legendary—from the signature MA-1 silhouette to the orange interior lining that pilots relied on for emergency visibility. But instead of charging vintage boutique prices, we've streamlined our process to bring you exceptional value.
Quality That Stands the Test of Time
The '80s weren't about disposable fashion, and neither are we. Every jacket we offer is constructed with durable materials designed to last. We're talking reinforced stitching, genuine brass hardware, and fabrics that can handle whatever your lifestyle throws at them. Because a real bomber jacket isn't just an outfit—it's an investment in your personal style legacy.
Innovation Rooted in Tradition
Here's where it gets interesting. While we're obsessed with authentic 1980s design, we're not stuck in the past. We've incorporated modern sizing options to fit today's diverse body types. We've improved internal pocket designs for your smartphone and keys. We've even enhanced weather resistance while maintaining that classic look and feel. It's tradition meeting innovation, and it works beautifully.
Our Mission: Style Should Be Accessible
We believe that iconic fashion shouldn't be reserved for the wealthy or the lucky few who stumble upon gems at thrift stores. The 1980s bomber jacket represents something bigger than fashion—it's about confidence, rebellion, and individuality. That spirit shouldn't come with an exclusivity clause.
Our mission is simple: make authentic 1980s bomber jacket style accessible to everyone who wants it. Whether you're a film student in Brooklyn, a graphic designer in Austin, or a musician in Seattle, you deserve to rock that classic bomber look without emptying your savings account.
