Solid fabric, real heft to it, very well made - part of me wishes for the inseam to be a tad longer so I could cuff them but that's a personal preference, otherwise really great pair of trousers, and good value also!

Ruairi M. 5/5
not my first non-stock piece, and it certainly will not be my last. let’s start by saying that i’m 5’8 and 200lbs (172cm and 90kg), and i wear a 38W. the waist is spot on, plenty of room in the seat (a common complaint i have for some otherwise fantastic menswear on account of a “large seating area” and thighs, to put it kindly). the fabric quality is, as always, absolutely stellar! very durable and heavy feeling fabric; you really can feel the “high density” part of these chinos. cannot recommend these enough.
Jeht S. 5/5
Store owner replied: Love the fit and fabric details — so glad the 38W worked perfectly for you! Really appreciate you sharing your build — that's super helpful for others. Thanks for the continued support.

Awesome quality for an unbeatable price! I enjoy 'em over the Chinos i got from other manufacturers because of the quality of materials and craftmanship. Perfect in combination with some other vintage styled gear but also easy to combine with modern sneakers and stuff. Size runs true - i 1.90 mtr / 100 kg and ordered size 36.

I got interested in the cut of chinos I saw in postwar photos of Kerouac and Arthur Miller: high rise, wide straight leg. The 1947 army chino is just that, and the fabric is heavy, so I expect it to wear nicely. Four stars because the stitching looks good but I’ve seen better. Overall, though, I am very happy with these pants.

Great fit, I appreciate that they came long so I hemmed them to the correct length. Perfect for a summer service uniform
Tanner H. 5/5 Verified
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 this (or any other items from Bronson) based on tag size! Measure trousers you already own and fit well and buy based on that. Bronson’s measurements on the website have always been close to exactly what I measured on the garment when receiving them, so you can trust them.

Great buy : perfect fit, cut and material, arrived in Paris France 5 days (!) after buying ; thanks and congratulations PS : my advice = take your usual size (if not too much belly ...) I wear 32 waist and bought a 32 cheers

It is my first order from the spesific brand.Very nice and quality old fashion Chino pants, difficult to find elsewhere. Did a little tailor adjastment as i order a size bigger than the acctual size needed. The fabric is perfect, the color and the seam too. Angela is verry helpfull and immediately respond to my emails. In general awesom product awesom seller awesom service and very very fast shiping service (Mar. 20 ordered Apr. 7 delivered in Greece). Only one advice buy true to size.

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a great review! And thank you for recognizing our customer service and our fast shipping! We're thrilled to hear that you love our clothing and appreciate your support.
I don't know guys how you do it, but the size is just perfect. you can see it from the picture. The sensation of wearability is one of extreme comfort, elegance and strength of the fabric. It's as comfortable as pajamas but as strong as jeans. the style is perfect, timeless, always suitable for any formal or informal occasion. I'm 55 years old, six feet and two inches tall and have the shape of a swimmer, it's hard for me, finding the right and comfortable clothing. You are an important resource for me.

Finding a great pair of chinos shouldn't be difficult, should it? I was a loyal buyer of a famous American brand harking back to shipping wharves, and they just don't cut the mustard any more. Elastomer in the cloth makes you feel you are wearing a bin liner. These chinos are 'the business'. I have just washed and ironed them so have had the opportunity to inspect them at very close range and they are astonishingly faithful to the original template. I went to the pub in them the other night and a couple of lads, no more than 20 years old, complimented me on my 'outfit'. Unusual but nice all the same. They actually 'got it' - the high rise waist, the drop, the width of leg. You can live in better times wearing these pants, get used to drawing attention. Even at 70.

I have at least seven pairs of these now. I’ve been wearing khakis for the past thirty years and know a good pair when I find them. These are the opposite of the “skinny” metro fit pants that “fit at the hips” that you see most days now. They’re the good old fashion straight legs, flat front and sit at the waist pants. I wash and then hang dry them to keep the super thick cotton lasting years ahead. They run small though. Normally I wear a 31 or 32 waist so a 34 fits me right. A bit baggy at first too but the first wash with hot water and a hot try made them fit perfectly. It just depends on how you like them to fit and feel. Highly recommended.

Nice product, fit me well. Thank you very much.
Jean-pierre N. 5/5 Verified
True retro to when pants sat high with plenty of leg room. I definitely avoid the “skinny fit and sits at the hip” fit so these fit the bill. The fabric used for these are thick and durable too and I know they’ll last years / decades especially with hanging them up to dry instead using a dryer. Note, they run small. I normally wear a 31 waistline so in these I wear a 34. I bought three to keep me going for a while.
Rocky A. 5/5 Verified
Perfect vintage chino! High waist and solid fabric. A real bargain!!!

Nice ww2 chinos, with a great vintage high rise wide cut. I've had them for about a year and they're totally frayed at the hem which is normal for lightweight chinos like these.
Liam B. 4/5
HIGH QUALITY! Not thin crap at all. I am very impressed. Nice thick heavy weave and very well made. Even inside of the pockets is really thick and tough unlike most pants that have that thin cheap feel when you put your hands in your pockets. very strong... no holes happening here... no losing your keys or loose change. Highly recommend. Seem true to size. I wear a size 32 in bluejeans and these Chinos fit me just fine if not perhaps just a tad tight. some might consider going up one size.
