Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 25 reviews.
The jacket is excellent. I'm 6'5" with a 42" chest and found measurements in The sleeve and shoulder are perfect for me. A few people have even stopped me in the street to compliment the colour and jacket construction. Shipping to from Bronson's location to my home in Canada took about a week and there were no surprise charges or fees on delivery. Will definitely be ordering from Bronson again.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re thrilled to hear the jacket fits you perfectly and that you’ve received compliments on its color and construction. We’re also glad the shipping experience to Canada was smooth. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again!
I really like their garments’ workmanship, cool style, very nice cotton, and color is unique
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your likes and the nice photos you shared! We look forward to continuing to deliver high-quality products and services to you.
This is a fantastic jacket and I love it. I was torn between the size 40 and 42, but I chose the 40 and I am pleased that I did. Fit is great. I am 6' 1'' and 165lbs. Chest size is 39-40 inches. I tend to wear medium in most American-made items. ***A couple of ideas for improvement:
1) The belt is way too short. It could be a good 4 or 5 inches longer. 2) The zipper could go a little further down the jacket and the jacket itself could be longer. 3) The belt sits a bit high. Other than that, it's great.
Great M-42 jump jacket repo. It looks nice and feels like it's made of sturdy cotton material. I recently wore it while traveling and I'm glad I did - the cargo pockets helped a lot with carrying essential personal items like my passport and wallet and the jacket was neither too heavy nor light, making it quite versatile. Easy to layer underneath while not being baggy in appearance.
Parachute Jumper made by Bronson in Hongkong is such an alternative to other brands. I also wear parachute jumper made by different manufacturer in different size for more money but not for better quality. Bronson cotton is more thick. Bronson’s size 42 is more accurate in comparison with other brands. When it comes to caucasians. Therefore, good choice I made. Thank you guys in Kowloon 🙏🏻
A fantastic jacket for motorcycling, comfortable and utilitarian: ample pockets for storage; thick, durable, and comfortable cotton; half-length zipper, pleated back, and underarm gussets allow ultimate range of motion; square, aggressive, masculine cut; light enough for summer riding, heavy enough for fall and spring with an extra layer or two.
Fantastic jacket and worth every penny for its craftsmanship and quality. The “slow boat from China” shipping is worth the wait. Double check your measurements when ordering the garments, especially the chest and shoulders. Any jacket with underage gussets will allow you to order a size smaller than normal.
Superbe repro de la veste para non renfort ww2, d'une qualité exceptionnelle. Fidèle à l'originale. Un tout petit reproche, l'emplacement de la belle étiquette cousue à l'intérieur de la veste au lieu de l'intérieur de la poche... Rien de bien méchant. Top 👍. Vince. Normandy-France.
Another huge win from Bronson - the fit is so good/sizing is spot-on - Quality is off the chart amazing…materials, hardware, construction, stitching…simply and unbelievably excellent - As for the color…rich, deep, steady…it looks so good - Finally, re: the attention to detail…Bronson couldn’t have done better…the innovation on this coat and the historic details are nothing short of outstanding…
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for the incredible review! We’re thrilled the fit, quality, color, and attention to detail all hit the mark. Really appreciate the support!
Of all of the reproduction M42 jackets I've seen a tried this Bronson is superior by a mile. As good as, if not better than the Buzz Rickson M42 but a fraction of the cost
Bronson consistently create vintage clothing of outstanding quality.
Another superb jacket from Bronson. Wonderful quality and attention to detail. I initially ordered the 38 and although it fitted across shoulders it was a little less forgiving around the waist area. I exchanged for a 40 and its a nice fit. The exchange process was swift and on both occassions the delivery was 7 days door to door to the UK. Cannot fault Bronson other than my wallet can't handle the amount of clothing I would like to buy from them. Second purchase from them and they are a class act. Well done again Bronson.
Love the quality and material, I should have got the next size larger, sizing chart was a little confusing, will be ok in the summer with no other shirts under it, tight fit.
