The first day of school is stressful AF. The cliques, the stares, the silent judgement. And that’s just the moms! Luckily, when it comes to the kids, there’s an easy way to help them stay confident and comfortable on the playground — and look great while they’re at it.

Rockets of Awesome is a kids’ clothing brand we’re obsessed with. It was founded by Rachel Blumenthal, a mom who wanted to create great kids clothing she couldn’t find anywhere else.

They have a stylish, funky, crazy-comfortable collection that our kids actually want to wear (gasp!). It’s all designed in-house, and only available directly from their site.

And there’s one piece that’s a clear-cut favorite — the bomber jacket.

There’s nothing as cool, timeless, and badass. It’s literally da bomb. It’s super durable, feels special, and goes with anything. And at $50-$60 it’s the perfect price point. Plus, Scary Mommies get 20% OFF with the code SCARYMOMMY, so it’s even more of a steal.

Run your hands over the silver sequins to flip ’em. Actually maybe you shouldn’t because you won’t be able to stop.

SHOP ALL BOMBERS

Plus, there’s a whole collection of patches available to customize and personalize each jacket. (Stick-on, and no ironing necessary, ‘cause ain’t nobody got time for that.) Our kids love really making these pieces their own, with whatever combo of patches they want to put on. (The patches also work on Rockets of Awesome’s backpacks!)

Rockets of Awesome has a personalized subscription box option, or you can just shop for one-offs, like these amazing jackets. Either way, get 20% OFF when you use the code SCARY MOMMY. (Unfortunately, they don’t come in mom sizes. Maybe someday.)

Our mom experts only recommend picks they really love. We may earn a commission on purchases made through links from our site, but if we love it, we know you will, too. And we Scary Mommies gotta stick together.
