'green' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'turn odd bits of bomber jacket' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'turn' could be 'come' (coming is a kind of turning) and 'come' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'be' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
