bomber jacket
Usage Note
Blouson refers specifically to a short, hip-length jacket that typically gathers at the waist or hem — think a bomber or windbreaker style. It is distinct from veste (a suit jacket or blazer) and manteau (a coat). Un blouson en cuir ('a leather jacket') is a common collocation.
Examples
"Il porte un blouson en cuir noir."
