Customer photo review of U.S. Air Force Type L-2 Flight Jacket
Thomas S.
Have been waiting quite the long time for these to be in stock. The style is great, and the fit and feel are excellent. Ordered both olive (my favorite) and the blue, as both look good, and I wanted to have both colors. Quality is excellent, and like my other Bronson purchases, should be good for years of wear to come. Very pleased indeed!

Customer photo review of USAAF Type B-10 Flight Jacket - Khaki
Robert B.
I bought the B-10 because I had already purchased two B-15As and really loved them. The B-10 was just as good. The only issue I had with the jackets were poorly sewn buttons. When one popped off the B-10 epaulette, I had all the buttons re-sewn by my local tailor. It cost $10. These jackets are well designed, well constructed, handsome, and very warm. At these prices, they are the best bang for your buck out there. Thank you Bronson!!

Thomas S.
This sweater fits exactly as the description says, and fits perfectly with all of my jackets, from the A-2 to my G-1, and also with the cloth jackets I have. It even works with the winter types like the B15 and B10. the material is quality, and the construction is first rate. It works really well in the cold weather, as I can attest.

Customer photo review of USAAF 1940s Type B-15A Flight Jacket
Robert B.
This jacket is one of the best WWII reproduction values you will ever find. The Bronson B-15A is very accurate and constructed with high quality materials at a price that is $800 less than other brands. It is lined with a wool blend pile which is almost as warm as the alpaca pile in the originals but at a fraction of the cost. It also washes and dries nicely in the washing machine and dryer. You can’t go wrong with this jacket.

Stuart R.
Brilliantly tough hard wearing jacket, could be worn to the office or in the garden and as all Bronson products high quality garment using great reproduction of materials and craftsmanship. This has a good weight herringbone canvas, and could be worn into spring and fall. Sizing is correct to chart. Well done Bronson 👍🏼

Customer photo review of Waffle Cotton Full-Zip Track Jacket - Gray
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...

Customer photo review of 500g Heavyweight Terry Cloth Zip Sweatshirt
James L.
Another great, quality Bronson product. This sweatshirt has a heavy duty, old school feel and weight to it. The shape and cut is excellent. I'm about 5'10", 183 lbs. with a 42-43" chest and the 42/XL fits me really well, snug but in a form-fitting, complimentary way. This is the second one of these sweatshirts I own having also purchased the "brick red" version.

Great heavyweight hoodie. Perfect for me in size S. Warm and feels great. However Bronsons zipped hoodie that I also bought is great but in size M. So check sizing variations. 5.6ft 65kg chest 37inch

Devin C.
Love these pants, they’re very long and high waisted, the buttons for the suspenders are very wide so I couldn’t use my smaller suspenders, make sure you get the big heavy ones from Bronson, they’re really good and I couldn’t find anything similar that wasn’t double the price.

Customer photo review of 1940s WWII USAAF Type C-2 Wool Zipper Cardigan Sweater
Thomas S.
I ordered this sweater for wear with my A2 flight jacket, but it wears equally well with my other flight jackets also. It fits closely to the body without feeling too tight or stretching, and gives me the ability to use my leather and lighter L2 style jackets longer during the seasons. Materials and workmanship are first rate, and the look without a jacket is great, too.

Customer photo review of 1950s US Army Officer 14oz Chino Trousers
Liam H.
The 1950s US Army Officer 14oz Chino Trousers are exceptionally well made. Although they aren't cheap, they certainly exceed the level of craftsmanship and quality I've seen at their price point. The twill cotton fabric is substantial and the stitching is neat. Although the fabric wrinkles easily, especially in the laundry, it irons well and it holds a crease as sharp as a knife. The corozo buttons are a beautiful detail not often found on trousers of even higher cost. I am 183cm/6'0" tall and w...

Mihai P.
Very nice, thought they won´t be bringing it back after it went out of stock. I could find it selling on ebay at higher price, then it went out of stock there as well. I really wanted to buy this jacket due to the type of lining. I am 5´9, bought size 38/M. This one fit true to size, as listed. Roomy enough to layer under, comfortable and warm.

Devin C.
This is a cool smock, I’m waiting for the denim one to come back in stock so I can buy another one, I like the low pockets, the cloth is high quality, it’s breaking in nicely. I get lots of compliments on this piece. 175cm 77kg 36 (it’s a perfect fit, I would order up one size if I wanted the smock fit, loose and easy to pop on and off, 36 fits me more like a normal shirt)

Customer photo review of US Army WWII M-43 OD-7 Field Jacket
Robert N.
I've been looking for a M43 Jacket for some time. The used ones on ebay looked in rough condition. Ones from Military Impressions, were poor quality, and cheaply made in appearance. I am glad I stumbled upon Bronson's site. The jacket is cut to authenticate standards and color is correct! I get compliments all the time on my field jacket. I have and will be ordering other vintage military clothing among other things. Your clothing is top notch, accurate time pieces, and excellent quality! Than...

Customer photo review of Fox Embroidery Vietnam Souvenir Jacket
Flamur M.
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.

Customer photo review of Hickory Stripe Carpenter Pants+2
Luke M.
There are prominent front pockets on these jeans...stitched over the pants, not like the slot pockets in contemporary slacks. The stitching did not fully take in the edge of one one of my pockets...so there was a frayed edge to o e of my pockets, which is prominent on the jeans. I initially had a hard time with Brinson figuring a way to resolve this. They wanted to give me coupons on my next order. I disputed this for many communication exchanges. Eventually they reimbursed me 10% the cost, beca...

Johan J.
Size small fits good on me (175 cm 62 kg) especially after a wash and being thrown in the dryer. Drapes nice as well. The fabric is substantial and feels a bit coarse in the beginning but gets softer with time.

Perry L.
Awesome people to deal with. Before shipping, they had contacted me to double check the sizing and give me their recommendation. I didn't end up following their advice, but having them double checking shows that they care. Great jeans, especially when you factor in the price. Just a good no nonsense modern 501 style cut. These may run a bit short for taller guys, so beware. Fit pic is after a hot soak for an hour. No hemming done. I'm 5'9, waist is around 34". I bought a size 32. All my pants a...

I will never buy a lesser heavy white T again. These are the best, softest for their weight, most durable, and shape keeping T’s I have ever had in my life. I am 69 now and I know a good T, worth every penny, when I wear one. The fit is also great, not too small and not too short. Make sure you buy a one up larger size than you would normally. So I’m 6’1”, 210lbs. I normally wear a XL. For these “Non-Stock”, I order a XXL. You can spend more, you can spend less, but these are the best value.

Great and very comfortable chambrey fabric. Beautiful construction. Very nice and flattering cut which is still easy to move in. The only real flaw (for me) is the stenciled USN which seems a bit unnecessary and ugly....

Customer photo review of 1943 British Army KD & JG Gurkha Bermuda Pants - Olive
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.

Customer photo review of Heavyweight Cotton Wide Striped T-Shirt
Kieran G.
Excellent quality. Good weight, like an old knit sports jersey. Sizing: opted for a slightly looser fit, but not too baggy with an XXL (my height is 185 cm; weight about 75 kg). Size one down if you want it fitted at the shoulders and hitting at the hip. Multiple Bronson orders and they haven't let me down yet — just watch the size charts; if in doubt, err on the large side or check with customer service, who will readily advise based on measurements. Delivery is surprisingly swift.

Customer photo review of 13 oz. Cotton Bedford Cord Pants - Olive
Lee J.
As usual excellent materials and construction ! and the fit is perfect, but this is the 3rd Bronson item I have received ( work shirt and 40's style chino's) where the buttons are barely sewn on ! becoming loose almost immediately. Not the end of the world, but something that I'm sure can be fixed ? considering the otherwise good construction. BTW, these pants are identical to the cords Brando is wearing in ''On the waterfront''

Pretty much a perfect heavyweight plain tee in a retro mode. XL is a nice tidy fit on this 185 cm/75 kg guy. The black is true. Would love to stock up on a few more of these. If you're a wannabe 'uniform dresser', start here.

Awesome vintage shirt. Super cool old-school vibe. The denim feels solid but still comfy, and that little cigarette pocket detail is such a nice touch. Fits great, looks better with every wear. Totally worth it. 190cm/86kg

Henrik V.
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.

Really nice quality for a reasonable price! I normally wear size L but had to size up. So I picked size XL which fits really nice. This shirt has a normal fit so no slim fit.

Chris J.
This is my favorite T-shirt now. The fit is near perfect, I love the heavy and soft feel of the fabric. It's so comfortable I find myself reaching for it whenever it's in my drawer. A more traditional pocket would probably be more useful, but it's kinda neat that it's different. I'd love it if this exact shirt was offered as a traditional pocket T. The Navy color is very dark, almost appearing black. It's been washed and dried a few times now without any appreciable shrinkage. Not enough to cha...

Excellent quality, I would purchase more from the Bronson team in a heartbeat. In terms of sizing, just get a tape measure. The size charts they've provided on the website are accurate to true measurements. Bronson does not vanity size their items, so just keep that in mind.

Beautifully crafted shirt. Material feels great. You can see the quality. My only criticism is that the sizes run small, so if you're from the US, unless you like your shirt super fitted and snug, order a size or two larger.

Customer service contacted me when I made my purchase to talk me through the sizing and advised I go up a size which I did and the fit is perfect. The style is exactly what I was looking for and the quality of the leather is great. Definitely gonna wear this a lot through the winter.
