Morphology
The compound is a straightforward noun+noun composition: a learner who knows 'bomber' (military aircraft/associated personnel) and 'jacket' will infer it is a type of jacket associated with bombers or pilots. While the precise stylistic features (waist/cuffs/zipper) are conventional, the basic meaning is directly derivable from the constituents and follows common compounding patterns.
Etymology
The bomber jacket comes from the warm jackets pilots wore in wartime on bomber planes. The tight waist and cuffs kept out wind and cold, so today a bomber jacket means a short, waist-length jacket people wear for casual style.
