Here’s a quandary most of us dealt with in the past. Looking for a quality leather jacket within a budget. It can be a challenge. Thankfully Brooklyn-based label QC // WC (Quietly Confident, Wildly Courageous) announced a leather bomber in 2014.
The leather bomber by QC//WC was described at launch as being crafted from thick, tough 1.6mm premium, 100% genuine cowhide. The launch description also listed a silky poly satin lining, heavy-duty YKK hardware, cotton ribbing on the cuffs, waist and collar and a Steve McQueen quote on the interior label (“When I believe in something, I fight like hell for it”). The launch report described it as hand-made in the USA; this article was not an independent manufacturing inspection.
The original announcement advertised a $600 pre-order and an expected late-August 2014 delivery. These are historical launch details, not a current offer or a verified delivery record.
Archive note, 30 October 2026: historical launch pricing and availability have been clarified; the original publication date and photographs are retained.
