Aurora Padded Bomber Jacket with Faux Fur Hood
How to spot the original Aurora
The long faux fur runs right round the edge of the hood, and the inside of the hood is lined in soft plush, so it feels warm against your ears, not cold and slippery.
The zip hides under a placket with press studs at the top and at the hem, and the hood drawcords with metal tips hang down on either side of it.
Curved seams sweep from the shoulders into two large slanted patch pockets, and the body blouses over a knitted rib hem and rib cuffs that keep the cold out.
The hood
A padded bomber jacket with faux fur hood
A deep hood edged with long, dense faux fur frames the face like a parka and keeps the wind off your cheeks.
The fur is silver-grey on black and a dusky rose pink on charcoal, unusual and very pretty.
Two large slanted pockets hold a phone, keys and gloves. It feels luxurious on a freezing morning.
The Aurora bomber has a padded body and a soft faux fur hood that frames the face, giving warmth and a touch of glamour on cold days. It is a cosy, stylish jacket for school runs, winter walks and evenings out, pairing beautifully with jeans, leggings and boots.
The fit
A cropped, roomy bomber, M to XL
The chest measures 138 cm on the M up to 146 cm on the XL, and the length is 68 to 71 cm, just over the hip.
The body gathers into a ribbed hem and cuffs that keep the cold out.
It is roomy, with space for a jumper underneath; compare the measurements with a jacket you already own. The cuffs tuck into gloves on a cold day.
The cropped, roomy cut sits neatly at the waist and leaves space for a thick jumper underneath. The padding keeps you warm without feeling bulky, and ribbed cuffs and hem seal out the cold. Deep pockets keep your hands warm and hold your essentials.
How to wear it
With jeans, leggings and boots
Wear the black with skinny jeans and chunky boots; the charcoal and pink is lovely with cream knits and light denim.
The cotton outer breathes, so you do not overheat on a warm bus.

Grey and black are versatile, practical shades that go with everything. Wipe light marks away with a damp cloth, and when it needs a proper clean, use a gentle cycle in a laundry bag and let it dry naturally. Fluff the faux fur gently after wearing to keep it soft. It makes a lovely gift for anyone who feels the cold, and it is a cosy, everyday jacket for the whole winter.
From Maria & Denis
A padded bomber jacket with faux fur hood is the warmest way to wear a short jacket in winter — a thick, fluffy trim around the face, a roomy padded body and snug ribbed cuffs and hem. The cotton outer has a soft, matte look you will not find on shiny puffers, and it looks smarter the more you wear it.
Black with grey fur or charcoal with pink fur, M to XL.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this jacket?
It comes in sizes M to XL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the jacket itself, taken flat: length, bust, shoulder width and sleeve length. Measure a similar jacket you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash this jacket?
Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth. For a full clean, a gentle 30°C wash in a laundry bag or a dry cleaner — check the label inside. Hang on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape; brush lightly after wear.
How warm is this puffer jacket?
The quilted padding traps warm air around your body, and the hood keeps wind off your head and neck, and the faux-fur trim blocks draughts around the face. It suits cold, dry days and frosty mornings; when the temperature drops close to freezing, wear a knit jumper underneath.
Is this puffer jacket waterproof?
A padded jacket is built for warmth rather than for heavy rain. The shell copes with a short shower and the hood helps, but steady rain can work through the stitch lines. On a wet, mild day, a hooded rain jacket over a knit is the better choice.
How do I make a puffer jacket puffy again after washing?
Let it dry fully on a hanger, then shake it out and pat each quilted panel by hand to spread the filling evenly. Repeat a few times while it dries. Stored loosely on a hanger rather than squashed in a bag, a puffer keeps its loft.
