Customer photo review of Lot 391 Cossack Goatskin Leather Jacket
William C.
Amazing jacket that can compete with other similar Japanese /“American Vintage Repro” brands that are 3x the price. Similar to other review, the goatskin smells gnarly for a few weeks; air it out for sure. Note that if you receive one with the Scovill center zipper, the finish doesn’t match the Talon chest zip. It’s only slightly off but it’s definitely different to a connoisseur’s eyes. I also wish the jacket came with a two way zipper. I swapped mine out for a luxurious Italian RiRi two way zi...

Customer photo review of 1969 M-65 Field Jacket - Taxi Driver
Paul E.
Quality is exceptional. It's a truly competent jacket, not just a stupid replica you'd wear once for Halloween. An equivalent quality piece of apparel from a western brand, not including the Taxi Driver details, would set you back at the very least $500. I'm 188cm tall and 95kg fat, and Size L is perfect.

Larry B.
This is an incredible jacket. Everyone is wearing type one or type two jackets so this is one that you won't see which makes it cool. Buy one size larger, wash it once and it'll shrink down and fit like a glove. The quality is top notch from the super heavy material to the quality stitching and features. I love it.

Exactly as listet. Heavy weight, nice white-beige color. I ordered 38, I am 5.9 but gained some weight so will be ordering a size up next time. These folks are really good, can´t wait to see what they bring next. Now waiting for my A-2 jacket to arrive. Very good job Bronson!

Joseph D.
Bronson 42(XL) has arrived and it could not be more perfect! FYI, I am 5'9"; 148lbs.; 39.5" chest; 32" waist; 15" neck. I am wearing a thin long-sleeved undershirt under a thick flannel button-up shirt under a USGI GI sweater. Zipped and buttoned up with all this, the neck is snug and I cannot button over the throat latch, but it is comfortable otherwise (without the high-neck sweater, throat latch works snuggly). The body is the perfect amount of room I wanted and I can snug up the waist a bit...

This N1 deck jacket is a winner. The jacket material is very close to the original, the sewing and seams are top notch, I went over every inch and could not find any faults. A well made product at a reasonable price, I am very pleased with my purchase.

A+ This classic A-1 is made with a very tight grain hide that blocks 100% of the wind. Though not made for the coldest winter days, I’ve found it perfect when correctly layered down into the 20’s Fahrenheit!

The jackets is beautiful, fits very well and is very warm. A really great product for the price. Please make sure you look at the measurements of the item to make sure you order the right size. Mine is size 42 and I usually wear size 40.

Reviewer's customized olive USAAF Type B-10 Flight Jacket hanging on a hanger against an orange wall.
Frans H.
Another banger from Bronson. The addition of the 'Demotex-Ed' label makes it on par with other but much more costlier options. I added a period correct name plate and patch as this lifts it up even more. I wear all my jackets in rotation on a daily basis, weather permitted. If you want something different than run of the mill 'mall jackets', this one is very recommendable. 1,80 m, 93,6 kg, size 44. Perfect fit.

Wow. This chorecoat is really off the hook. I don’t think my photos do it Justice. The fabric is super high quality and the cut and quality of the hardware is really good. This feels like a much more expensive piece.

Great cut to these pants, they hang very nicely from waist. Lightweight material but feels strong and durable. Nice loose fit for exercise. I'm 5'11 80kg, I got a size large, fit is perfect. A small loop on the hip to hang keys from would be cool addition.

Customer photo review of USN M-421A Summer Flight Jacket+1
Frans H.
I really like the perceived authenticity of this jacket. Details like the pen pocket and the label on the inside pocket lift it up even more. I washed the jacket on low temperature and after that washed it again with a water repellent agent added. It gives the jacket a slightly used appearance. I added a squadron patch and USN nameplate plus a USN stencil on the inside pocket. Size 44. Attention: colour is off because of artificial lighting, it is less tan in real life.

Customer photo review of US Navy Watch Cap
George M.
I had my father's watch cap as a boy. It eventually fell apart. All other 'woolen caps' had four 'points' which is easier to assemble, but looks horrible no matter which way you line them up. Navy watch caps were designed to not only keep sailors warm (wool is warm even when wet) but too also fit comfortably under a helmet.

Amazing! I'm 184cm, 76 kg, got a size 40, perfect fit. Not loose at all, but I can still wear the waist knit blousing, as it was meant to. The sweater is thick and very warm, outstanding quality

Customer photo review of S801XX 1943 War Simplified Model Selvedge Denim Jeans
Shawn L.
Materials: wonderful heavy weight denim, very hairy and stubby/textured. Love the details such as the camo pocket bags. I probably could have gone down one size but I got the 34 and they shrunk down after the first wash. I still need to wear a belt. Fit is a bit baggier than I'm used to, but that makes for a very comfortable wear. I'm 5'10, 163 lbs. with a waist of 32-33" Can't wait to try other Bronson denim.

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...

Customer photo review of Lot 44801 1944 WWII Version Selvedge Denim Jeans
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 ...

Customer photo review of 1942 US Army Chino Trousers
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...

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...

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.

I had to wait due to a hang up in Chicago in customs. Bronson Co. was awesome, quickly responding to my concerns and questions. They had to reissue the order and the wait was worth it! Such a nice shirt, great weight of cotton, and super comfy. I am 5'3" weighing 123 and I ordered a Medium. Glad I did, fits great with a little room to breath but not oversized. So happy I finally recieved this shirt...can't wait to wear it!

If the trousers were a bit longer they would be perfect. Just two inches. Waist is spot on for 34. I would like to see denim, or khaki pocket bags rather than the lat war shade but these are little things. Construction is rock solid.

Tom B.
This is an amazing shirt! It’s great quality and very comfortable, especially for hot days…and it’s been triple-digit heat here in the South lately! Customer service was great too. I received an email advising me to size up because these shirts run a little small. I normally wear a medium but a large fits me better. I’m 5’8 and around 170 pounds. I’ve already order a second shirt.

I'm quite happy with my purchase, the quality is excellent and easily matched my expectations. I am 174cm and 69kg, would normally buy size 38 but size 40 was the only one remaining. Size 40 is slightly larger for me, but still quite wearable.

Customer photo review of USN Herringbone Deck Pants
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.

Perfect fit, great weight to the jeans. Not too stiff, not overly soft. I did one wash in cold and dried to less than damp. I’m just over 5’9, 165lbs and bought a size 32 (my normal size). The waste was slightly loose before the wash and just right after.

Thomas B.
They're so much like my wife's original pair of vintage OG-107 (she was duly impressed!). Super soft and while they shrunk a hair in the machine wash and drying cycle, they still fit great for the size I ordered. It has hip button tabs as an option to tighten up if you'd like the fit to be more snug. I'll wear them cuffed so my wife tacked and ironed the cuff into place, which I think looks great. These are very comfortable, airy, and allow for a lot of ease of movement. I'm not into tapering or...

Shirt arrived after 14 days. Not bad from the Far East. Absolutely delighted with the quality. The fabric weight is heavy and the antique white against the black looks very cool. I was a little worried about the size as I wear a 48 jacket. I bought the largest I could get - 44. Fits perfectly. Highly recommended.
