Bronson Shop/Non-Stock

@jerkules I wash them regular cycle with cold water and line dry to prevent shrinkage. I think over time they have come in a little bit in the chest and arms, but not in the length, and it’s nothing drastic. I wouldn’t recommend putting them in the dryer.

@jerkules said in Bronson Shop/Non-Stock:
Have any of you guys noticed any shrinkage with the loopwheel tees? @CosmoSix5 @jdwaid ?
They shrink. I machine wash cold and like dry. They stretch back out a little after they're on for a bit.
-
@jerkules I've used non-stock tube tees as my primary under layer for several years now
My strategy is size up and assume a little shrinkage ....then I wash in the machine (and disrespect them regularly by throwing in the dryer )
Im a 23" chest and default to ordering xxl in non-stock
The bronson regular and the gusset tees tend to run a little on the smaller side
-
Nice one gents I’ve ordered a couple of white tees in XL. Bronson gives the chest as 47 inches so with shrink that should work for me. Will have to be careful with length though as they’re already at my minimum cutoff point. Won’t be too devastated if the size doesn’t work given the price.
-
I got very confused with the recent restock of tubular 10.5oz as they changed the sizing up. Got distracted by this and the length change and was sold out again. I think I would now be a M instead of a L but concerned with the length now being more boxy.
-
I ordered a bucket hat and a striped shirt last week. My first non tee purchase.
-
I got pocket two tees(indigo and green) from them few months back. Went up size like they recommended and fit little bigger than my whitesvilles, which is nice some days. Debating on ordering few more, heard about not really loopwheel and could be unethical etc. pretty decent shirt don’t mind getting dirty at work etc

I was thread drifting earlier on the Master Supply Co thread and felt responsible to report back over on the correct thread of my recent Bronson 20 oz terry cloth sweatpants.
For starters, the 20 oz terry cloth fabric is a 10 out of 10. Substantial and soft on the inside, seriously impressive for the price point.
BUT the cut of this thing is WTF. The front and rear rise is off, giving the feel as if they are on backwards but the real kicker is this ribbed crotch insert that they have added in for reasons unknown other than to accommodate alien male reproductive appendages. I’m thinking of sewing in a crotch seem to eliminate the reverse camel toe but again WTF. My apologies of the vulgarity of the following but I felt a pic necessary.

@flannel-slut you weren’t kidding
-
Ridonculous!
-
That is quite something!
I’ve had a lot of luck with their stuff. I will be trying a sweatshirt soon. I am not convinced by any the shirts I have tried from the big Japanese makers. They good, but not sure they’re 4x better. I like being able to just wear and throw in the washing machine then the dryer.
I’ve got some fatigues and C3 sweater coming soon. I experienced the fabric of the C2 by Real McCoys a few weeks ago and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. But £600 for a repro jumper is out of my budget. Only found Bronson making them along with The Real McCoys. I shall report back.

Ah ! didn't noticed this thread until now. Will add with some experience I've had.
Enough was said for t-shirts, good bang for your bucks as a under layer, but for me the only beautiful is the "loopwheel athletic tubular" 10.5oz.
It's the only one I would consider wearing as an outside piece of a fit.
Size respects charts in my experience and the cut is really nice imo and It stands out with the cut of other products..
For me they did not shrink if washed cold and hung dry.I bought 2 sweatshirts and had the same issue on one as @indigo_fades with this strange neckline that gives the impression your own sweat is trying to choke you
Arm holes seems high, and I have basically the impression that I'm wearing it in the wrong side like the back is in the front
Also the arms are cut for guys who have biceps the size of my legs.
Also note that if you have long arms like me you might need to take a size larger to get enough length. Overall I think their arms length and also body length is too short on sweatshirts.But the fabric is really thick and cosy.
That being said even with the sweat being thick, it is still not as warm as the IH loopwheel sweat, with which you really feel like the weave is tight because of your body heat almost instantly not leaving you anymore.But the other sweat is cool, except for the arms cut for people who have biceps as thick as my legs
Overall construction seems solid.
Will try to put a picture soon.Now I have also committed an heresy (for people here probably :-D) and bought their N1 " cost effective" version to try it. I have the IH from last year in brown, but could honestly not afford the khaki one of this season, but still wanted another color. It came in too small and have done an exchange. Still waiting for the jacket now and will report.
But from what I saw when I had it, the job is not bad considering the crazy low price. Off course you see and feel the gap between this and the IH, but it might do it for me if I want a N1 to "trash" a bit more (sorry not doing that with the IH) -
Their 17.6 oz Heavyweight Terry Sweatpants are super nice
-
Arms are way too wide but the overall look is cool !
-
@flannel-slut it looks like they were trying to follow the pattern of the RMC heavy sweatpants but got the dimensions wrong. (The RMC ones have a similar gusset but it actually reflects the male anatomy if you see what I mean)
