Customer photo review of 1940s USN 3rd Type N-1 Woolen Deck Jacket - Khaki Stencil
Mark J.
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.

One of my favorite shirts, will definitely buy another. I am normally an XL and I needed an XXL for this shirt. Fits well, just a bit slim. I must be the biggest man on earth!

Charlie M.
I am extremely happy with my Bronson denim! I ordered these during Black Friday, but had a follow up email from the customer service team to explain that Asian and EU/US sizes often differ (I’m based in the UK) and so if I wanted to change the size I still could. They were 100% correct and I was so impressed with the customer service team. My size was out of stock, but they honoured my order and kept me Informed of the restocking. The jeans themself are unbelievably good quality and look even be...

Love the shirt. Great colour, fit and feel. I’m 5’9 with 38” chest and S fits me well. Grateful that the folks at Bronson double checked my measurements to ensure correct size.

So I was originally gonna try to get the jacket in large but the wonderful people at Bronson guided me to get an XL and it fits great. It's got solid quality not a super heavy denim maybe around a 12oz if I had to guess. Still excited to see how it wears in.

Nice color, nice material and shape! I chose +1 size (XL) of my current size (L with other brand) for a perfect fit > choose +2 size for oversized fit. I recommend!

Edward R.
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!

Edward R.
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.

Michael G.
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.

Customer photo review of 10.5oz EMBR HBT Fireman Protective Pants
Ed K.
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.

Customer photo review of British Army Model Khaki Gurkha Bermuda Shorts
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.

Riika S.
Construction is incredibly good for this value, with flat felled seams on both the inseam and outseam . Materials are great as well. The rise is slightly higher than expected, but this is not really a negative.

Customer photo review of 1940s US Navy N-1 Deck Jacket - Cost-effective Version
Milo S.
The perfect jacket for cold (and wet) weather. The waterproofing is great, the drops fall right off. The fluffy collar is also great for those cutting winds. I'm about 6'0" (182cm) and about 155lbs (70kg), and wear a size 40 which fits perfectly, even with a thick sweater.

Incredible shirts for the price. Plus as an added bonus, because of the cut, they make your muscles look bigger than they really are lol! Well made, material is sturdy. Note: these shirts run fairly short- something to think about if you like to tuck in. Good job Bronson

Bronson Jackets run a touch small for an American build. Recommend sizing up unless you're a smaller build. Otherwise the jacket is of incredible quality. Love the fabric and construction is top notch. Worth every cent!

I am impressed with the quality of the fabric. It would really be nice if these are manufactured in more dark colors like Brown, Navy Blue, Dark green and Burnt Orange. Would be looking forward to seeing these colors come to life.

Jarrett G.
Pants met the quality expectations that I had, I measured and got the 36 but make sure you give good leeway from what you measure and the measurements of the pants because they are a little tight but quality and weight is excellent, better quality than Nike at half the price will be buying more

Customer photo review of US Army M-1943 Field Jacket+3
Luis L.
Very beautiful and attractive jacket. Will receive compliments and boost your confidence wearing it. I ordered the size 38. My measurements are 6ft tall, 38” chest and about 150lbs. This particular jacket measures 22.5” almost 23” armpit to armpit depending on how you stretch it, and 31” from the neck seam to the bottom hem. I am satisfied with the fit. See my measurements above, it is roomy enough to layer with feeling to loose. Would recommend.

Customer photo review of US Army 1st Model M-65 Field Jacket Liner
Daniel R.
This liner adds a good amount of warmth to an awesome jacket. The button holes were slightly off from the buttons in the jacket, but still works and doesn't affect the warmth it provides. Now to make this M65 field jacket complete, Bronson needs to make the button on winter fur trimmed hood. With that you would have a good vintage 3 season system.

Patrick
I really like this vest, especially at the price! The XL fits great, nice and snug to my body but not constricting. I am 180 lbs, 6’1” with a 41” chest. For those familiar with the M65 field jacket liner (AKA “Smoker’s Jacket”) from their time in service, this is quite similar but in a vest version. I washed it cold and hung it up to dry with no shrinkage, but it would probably even be fine to wash/dry in a regular cycle.

Marc V.
For reference, I’m 1,93 m tall and weigh about 98 kg. I went for size 36 on these. Fantastic pair of Jeans. My second pair from Bronson! The 1944 being the first one I ordered. I did size down to my actual size on these as I ordered the first pair too big and after washing a few times it’s still a bit loose on the waist. I tend to just wash them inside out on 30 degrees Celsius with low spinning cycle. These will fit great once washed! Great cut, good quality denim and for the price it‘s a no ...

Fit/sizing is small. I normally wear a small sometimes an extra small. So glad I ordered medium. It fits like a US small. Definitely size up from your usual size. In terms of quality this is a great shirt for the price.

Great shirt, fits pretty good and true to size, no noticeable shrinkage after several washes. I'm impressed with the quality of materials and construction and I am certain to buy more as I feel they offer excellent value for money.

I’m 5’9” and about 190. I’m not in shape and was worried about the fit, especially around my gut, but a Large/42 fits great! Really comfortable with just enough heft to retain its shape. Great purchase. 5’9” / 190lbs Large/42

Customer photo review of Retro Rider Blue Motorcycle Short Sleeve T-Shirt
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.

These shirts are such great products. I recently got back from a month-long tour and they’re the only shirts I wore. Not only are they durable and made well, they gained several compliments. I’ll definitely be getting more.

Customer photo review of Waffle Cotton Full-Zip Track Jacket - Gray
Frans H.
If you like something out of the ordinary, this is a jacket for you. Do not compare it with today’s offerings, starting with the materials used it is different. It is shaped after a vintage track jacket but to be used as a casual garment. I had my initials put onto it, this makes it look even more vintage and period. Attractive price.

The quality is the same as the OG or should I say, even better since advanced tech has been used to produced these pants. And The fit is immaculate! Thanks Bronson!

The quality for the price can't be beat. Nice heavy duty tshirt that still has a soft feel to the inside. Binder collar and all details are on point. If you want a more fitted garment stay true to size or if you want a slightly more relaxed fit size up.

Customer photo review of Blue Chambray Work Shirt
Daniel R.
Nice chambray work shirt. Clean lines with a classic vintage style. Would be totally perfect there was one size up from the largest. As is, it has a perfect fit, so I will have to take extra care in washing to avoid any shrinkage. Would absolutely get this again if it had a larger size.

Customer photo review of Blue Chambray Work Shirt
Matthew H.
Really love this shirt! Perfectly lightweight for layering in warmer months without feeling too delicate, with great vintage details that separate it from other typical (and pricier) chambrays. Wasn’t sure at first how I felt about the collar tongue, but the character of it has grown on me. Would definitely recommend sizing up; I’m usually an XL, but went with the XXL, and it maybe shrunk a bit on a delicate dryer setting. Really happy in the end though with the fit, look and feel.

Customer photo review of CCC Daisy Mae Hat - Camo+2
Jimmy C.
EVERYTHING Bronson makes is top quality. The shorts , pants, shirts, jackets and denim I have purchased from them are as nice as the top Japanese brands that do Americana workwear and military surplus. I hate that some things I want are sold out now but I will be back for more as they more things become available. Shipping takes a while so I would advise to pay for the expedited shipping and you will get your items super fast via FEDEX.

A customer's olive Gurkha Bermuda Pants laid out on a carpeted floor, showing the high waist and buckle straps.
Bradley G.
By far the best pair of pants I've ever bought. The material is very soft yet feels durable. Just be aware that there is no zipper on the front, they are metal buttons so it can be a hassle to go to the restroom occasionally. However the design is unique enough to sacrifice that. The straps can be buckled and you could put a belt over them as well. Beautiful color and design.

My new favorite. Very well built, sturdy pants. Looks much better than in the photos. It's loose but not overly baggy, easy to wear with everyday outfits. fits true to size, I wear 32 jeans and this one is a perfect fit.

Reminds me of the first surplus shirt I picked up back when I was a kid. Solid made, and works well as a light jacket or a mid layer. Good three season shirt.

Another gem from Bronson, the rare AL-1 US Navy flight jacket. Very heavy and very warm and it includes the knitted cuffs inside the hand warmer pockets. Again, I added a period correct nameplate for extra authenticity. Very recommended. Size 44, I am 1.80 meters tall and weigh 93.3 kg.

Beautiful pants. Sizing was spot on and the double pleats provide a ton of range of motion. The length was perfect for me but there are a couple inches in the hem if you need to lengthen it a bit.

I bought 10 white, 10 black and 5 grey all in size medium. -The machining tolerances are superb, only one t shirt out of 25 was a little wider than the rest otherwise they were all the same and true to the online measurements. -I’ve washed them at 30°, 800 spin and line dry. After ironing and a bit of reshaping they measured 64cm in length and 52cm across the chest, that’s about 2cm in length and 1cm in the chest circumference. -The collars do pucker a bit after washing but are easily flatte...
