Adam S.

Fantastic quality, and larger than expected (a good thing!) A little stiff to begin with but much softer after a gentle wash. Great to wear as a neckerchief, very comfortable. perfect accessory to your denim, corduroy and canvas. Highly recommended!

First time buyer I didn’t know what to expect ! As soon as you open the package you can feel the quality. The coton is thick and heavy details are on point! Went through couple of washing already and it didn’t move. I m 1,71 m and 75 kg took a size L and it fits perfectly, will definitely buy again. Keep up the good work Bronson!!

Duncan P.

I love this jacket, it’s very nearly the same as my father’s 1950’s Navy issue WEP. The price is amazing! The quality is amazing! One little problem, I’m a fat American, size 44 is too small. If you start making 46’s I’ll buy another deck jacket and an Ma-1! I promise! Thanks for the great work and fast shipping

Great jacket that is very warm and punches well above its weight. Equivalent options are nearly 3 times the price, some small flaws but nothing a needle and thread cannot fix.

Sam C.

Fast shipping. The size L is a solid fit with enough room for layers. Construction is solid and next to an original it is 9/10. Some water repellency would be welcome. One day possibly the white over parka would be nice.

Excellent product! I am approximately 114cm in the chest and the XXL fits perfectly, leaving room for air circulation. After the first wash it tightens a little, but nothing serious. I will continue to shop at Bronson MFG!

Great Quality, heavy fabric and great fit. Slightly smaller than average but if you go for a size up everything will be cozy and comfy😁 I‘m 180 cm and 75 kg, would go for size 42 next time for a roomier fit.

Jared S.

Just a wonderful trouser. Maybe my most favorite pair. The fabric is cool enough for year-round wear and extremely durable. It ages/“fades” nicely. The cut looks great and the construction is tops. If you are happy with suspenders and no belt loop this is an excellent pair. The cinch back works well in lieu of a belt when the trouser is sized correctly. Bronson, please keep making these! Just great, especially for the price!

Chemprofjspencer

Really love these so far. Have about 45 wears on them, and they are starting to fade nicely. Did shrink in the first hot soaks, but not quite as much as indicated on the site, and they have stretched back out to nearly unwashed measurements. Will hot wash them after another 40ish wears and will post a fade update. Details on the pair are really nice—raised belt loops, two tone stitching threads, and the pocket bags are awesome. Fit is great, but sometimes they drape a little funny. The denim is ...

Chemprofjspencer

Really nice tee. Thick fabric and the pocket detail is cool. Tube knit is very comfortable and I always get compliments and noticed when I wear this tee shirt. Hard to beat the bang-for-buck tees Bronson stocks. I tend to like a trimmer fit so sized down one size from my chest measurement. I suggest measuring armpit-to-armpit on your favorite shirt and buying based on that. Size up for a loose fit, true to size or slightly down for a trimmer fit like mine. Don’t use tag size! I’ve washed with ho...

Chemprofjspencer

Excellent quality chinos! These compare well with another, more expensive Japanese-brand chino trouser I own, which is also a 40s military issue replica. Fabric here is excellent, heavy duty without being too heavy and it has a nice hand feel. Construction is top notch—stitching is of the same caliber as the more expensive brand. The drape of the chinos is good, and I expect these to age nicely (already worn them 4 or 5 times). The fit is exactly as described in measurements. Please do not buy t...

Emilio Jose S.

I started buying the green one and today I received the rest of the collection. I have fully tested the 1st T-shirt fits is very good. After a few washes is very good this is why I decided to buy the rest of the colors It is heavy but is breathable maybe cotton and 10.5 oz is not the best for a really sunny day in a warm country but still I will use to go outside during the night because as it is very heavy does not looks like a simple T-shirt. About sizing consider to size up and in my case An...

Nice pants, true to the displayed images. The construction feels very sturdy. I was apprehensive at first ordering from China, but am very glad to have found a reliable brand with quality that matches the price. I am 174cm and 69kg and size M fit comfortably on me. The listed measurements are reasonably accurate; I measured the waist of mine to be about 81cm. My waist is about 82cm. I normally wear sizes 31-32 on other brands. I originally ordered a L size (it was about 87cm waist), which w...

Camaron S.

Shirt is great and the quality feels good. I bought a large and it fits perfect. I am a medium/large in most brands but have found that most Bronson MFG products run kinda small so I usually size up. I am 5'9" and 170 pounds with broad chest and shoulders for anyone who needs a descriptive reference along with the image.

Nice fit and attention to details. Love the very dark indigo as it complement any jeans shade. Be generous and size up specially if you are looking for a more relax fit.

Ingo A.

This item was part of my first order at Bronson and I want to share my experiences. General: Customer service was great. After placing my order I was contacted by mail to double-check on sizes. This exchange was extremely friendly, helpful and fast. The sizes I picked after thorough research (reviews here helped!) were good, though, and nothing needed to be changed. But I guess such service would really help with potential misfortunes. Folks, use this service before you order! This item: I'm...

undefined review of USN Herringbone Deck Pants image 1 out of 1

Eric S.

Love these pants! Nice mid-weight cotton canvas with a subtle herringbone texture and great vintage details. Very well made. Wide leg but not baggy; the high waist gives them a cool, old school tailored look. I wear a 32 waist in most trousers and the 32 worked for me, but keep in mind they sit at your ‘true’ waist right below the belly button so measure there. They also stretch out a tad with use.

Insulates your noggin even worn above your ears! Very warm and super stylish. If you find affordable wool too itchy, the 80% wool in this will bother you, but you won't get Bosie/Harley's Shetland at this price.

Very surprised and impressed with the high quality make of these tube t-shirts! very heavy weave! these aren't your typical summer t-shirts. More like semi-casual autumn or winter shirt for wearing under a nice dress shirt. comfortable and true to fit. Really love the natural color of the Embryo shirts!

HIGH QUALITY! Not thin crap at all. I am very impressed. Nice thick heavy weave and very well made. Even inside of the pockets is really thick and tough unlike most pants that have that thin cheap feel when you put your hands in your pockets. very strong... no holes happening here... no losing your keys or loose change. Highly recommend. Seem true to size. I wear a size 32 in bluejeans and these Chinos fit me just fine if not perhaps just a tad tight. some might consider going up one size.

Love the clothing you produce. They harken to a time when quality was more important than fad. The clothes are made with impeccable design and top rate quality, meant to last years. I am already a repeat customer.

This shirt is solidly constructed and gives off the vintage vibe I was looking for. The white in this garment is of more of a "vanilla" while the black is nice and dark. The length is perfect, not too long and will go well with the shorter cut jackets that I prefer while the sleeves hug my arms to accentuate my biceps. I feel like I received great value for my money and will surely purchase the orange variant of this shirt in the future.

Patrick S.

Very impressed by the quality of the material and workmanship. Very comfortable. I find they fit best with the belts fastened above the hip, typical for clothing of that era. Spacious pockets. The buttoned flaps on the back pockets are nice if you tend to worry about losing your wallet or phone. I almost never wear shorts, but I think they look pretty good on me. For reference, I am 5’10”, weigh 160 lbs. and ordered the size 4.

Beautiful jacket, quality is very raw, like a denim jean, definitely something that will last a lot. Reminds me of the old Carhart jackets from the 80-90s. I usually wear an L, but for this item had to go XL. If you want oversize id suggest to go 2 sizes up.

Kieran G.

Love the heavy cotton — closer in weight to a jersey or light sweatshirt than to a typical t-shirt. Sz 40 (I'm about 185 cm and 75 kg). The fit is perfect, and I could've gone up one size for a roomier fit too. Colour is ivory, slightly off-white. The deep blue print detail looks excellent and the '50s throwback graphic on the back is a great touch. A terrific buy for the $. Will order something similar again.

I love these trousers! I bought the XL version and they fit me (190cm and 105kg) perfectly. The material is the same as the jungle jacket from Bronson, slightly thicker than the original from the 1960s and a nice texture. Quality is great for the price and it will fade well when washing and look even better after heavy use and after every laundry.

Luke M.

Excellent customer service! First pair were too small so were returned and replaced. Definitely size up on the waist, most of my pants are measured size 36" so go up a size to "38 (size 12). Great pants though, proper weight gaberdine type cotton good solid color, wide fit leg, high waist. Vintage/Ivy '65 Look. Worn here with vintage RRL "Olympics 1948" shirt, EPT sneakers and WW2 Flieger Type B Watch on a Bund Strap. Just about to order another pair in Khaki/Sand.
