Bronson Shop/Non-Stock

@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)

This Deck jacket looks interesting
Deck Jacket50/50 alpaca/ wool lining.
-
@Chibs Could be nice, but I have become a bit suspicious of the Bronson sizing
Since my last post a bit above, I received the other size for the N1 (not this one) I did exchange, and although better, it still has arms length 1 full inch too short
But the jungle cloth exterior fabric I must say is really nice and sturdy, and it looks like about the same on the one here.
If you can get this proper sized, the price could be interesting for a 50/50 alpaca/wool blend.
One thing I have liked and where I think IH made a "wrong" choice for their N1 (imo off course), is that it has lining in the arms.
The IH Deck is top notch for me in all other aspects, but around 0°C, if I have not much layers, I start to feel the cold on the arms, and its noticeable especially because the rest of the jacket is so damn warm, with the pocket lined and all.

@Slash interesting remark on IH N1. I’m currently working on a review for it and this is one minor drawback in negative double digit weather. It makes up for it in mobility and ease to slide in and out of though. I’m curious how thick the Bronson’s lining is being 50/50 blend doesn’t tell you. Not curious enough to buy though already owning an amazing MA-1.
-
@Slash so glad I never ordered one. Always at least an inch to short and of those measurements are short... Lol. Summer short sleeve n1!
-
@CosmoSix5 hey hey! Can i please get your thoughts? Are these tees worth it still? Do you have any colour ones and how have they lasted over mutiple washes etc? I was tossing up between these ones and actually settled on the uniclo supima tee in the end....but have always wondered about these....
-
@cyclops recommend easily. Wearing a white tubular one now. Several washes in. Machine wash and warm dryer. Had one develop holes but it's been the only problem.
-
@cyclops Chiming in as I have some Bronson tubular T’s. They’re fine but I live in Uniqlo Supima shirts. They’re softer, cheaper, more comfortable, and much easier to buy / replace.
-
@Chibs and @CosmoSix5 thanks for the feedback! Good to get advice from those who have lived experiences, as things always look and feel nice initially but over time whether they hold up through constant use, its good to know....
@Chibs would you say the uniclo supima lasts? I only just bought a few last week, but didnt know whether they are good or not
-
@cyclops the only problem I’ve ever had with a Supima was my own fault. Indigo armpits are fine anyways.
Do I expect them to last forever? No, but that’s to be said for any T-shirt. Just wash in cold and hang dry and they should last a long time.
The quality you get for the money you spend on them is crazy imo. I end up spending more because they keep coming out with new colours though.
-
@Chibs hahaha thanks for the feedback! Will keep the tricotine away from the white supima

Lol reading this thread this morning just after I have picked up my t shirt for the day....
True that uniqlo or bronson will give you bang for your bucks (and I'm very confident with my 2 IH ones I've already worn and washed quite some times).
Still this industry is toying with us. The t-shirt I picked up this morning I bought in the mountain somewhere in Thailand for 4 euro, from a nice lady with a smile that said "man I'm ripping you off", and to this day not ONE unstitched seam, no color loss, nothing. Collar still intact.
Only the print has started to fade.
But I bought this t-shirt in 2015, and I probably washed it like 300 times. Normal wash 40°C no special care.
