In 1913, the U.S. Navy introduced its first generation of plain denim work uniforms, consisting of a pullover-style smock paired with simple patch-pocket trousers. According to regulations, these work uniforms were only permitted to be worn when deemed necessary for specific work duties.
The olive-colored herringbone twill (HBT) work uniforms introduced in the early 1940s were intended to replace denim workwear. However, denim coveralls were not immediately phased out and continued to be worn until the mid-to-late 1940s.
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 47 reviews.

Great jacket with a nice price point. Bought size 42. Fits great. Took the sleeves up a bit as they were a bit too long. Easy to do on the sewing machine. Thanks.

I'm 5' 7-1/2" and 135 lbs, wearing Size 36 1922 USN 2nd Denim coverall jacket---fits perfect! An amazing item---very original piece w/ great denim fabric and construction. It is extremely wearable, slightly crisp feeling and substantial. Works equally well buttoned or unbuttoned. And works equally well as a chore-type coat or a more dressy jacket.

Very nice and original navy jacket that's well worth the money. Bronson are first class.

This brand never misses. This is my 10th or more purchase. Sweet people, quick shipping, obvious care and attention to the craft, and most importantly, continuous hitters. Some other reviewers mentioned it being thin but I’m thinking they don’t know what the original weight of these were because it’s pretty accurate. Selvedge inside cuff is a great touch.
Erica D. 5/5
6’1” and went for a size up. Material, finish and quality is second to none. Worth every penny. Love it!! Thanks Bronson once again.

Massive improvement on the older batch which I have from a few years back. New Version (left) Older Version (right) It was thinner 8oz approx and felt more like a shirt. This time around its heavier weight at 10oz. Beautiful! Also the details are slightly different around the collar and button placket. Its a much nicer cleaner cut now. I finally have a jacket that matches the trousers!
Carl 5/5
Very solid jacket overall. The selvedge denim feels robust and looks really good. Love the rounded collar and buttons. I only wish the sleeves had a slight taper to them so the cuff fits more closely to the wrist, but then I guess this is a more accurate reproduction of the vintage design.
Abhishek T. 4/5 Verified
Well rugged made and beautiful denim and I expecting aging colors.
Kee Chong N. 5/5
I'm quite happy with my purchase, the quality is excellent and easily matched my expectations. I am 174cm and 69kg, would normally buy size 38 but size 40 was the only one remaining. Size 40 is slightly larger for me, but still quite wearable.

Store owner replied: Glad to hear! Hope you have a great day!
Definitely more shirt-like than jacket. Very unique look and usual high construction quality. Wash once and press to get shipping and manufacture lines a and sizing out, plus shape as desired. Then wear out or tucked with suspenders for that Merchant Marine look. Love mine. Order on the smaller size for shirt fit/look or normal for shirt-jac layered look. THIS IS BEAUTIFULLY LIGHT WEIGHT DENIM.

Beauty of a jacket. Very light, much like a shirt but hardwearing. Details are exceptional. I'm 166cm 60kg 37chest. 36 fits spot on.

The size 42 fit great. I am 5’11” at 160 lbs. Originally bought size 38 and was short in the sleeve and tight in the shoulder area.
Eduardo A. 5/5 Verified
Great fit, quality and details. The denim is lighter weight than I had expected, almost more of a shirting fabric, but it's my own fault for not reading the description thoroughly (it says 8.5oz denim right in the details section). The sleeves are a bit short on me, but then, I'm 6'4", so most sleeves are. If I was going to buy another, I'd get the wabash a size up.

Great fit, great look, and great build. This jacket is a steal at this price.

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you love the fit, look, and quality. We truly appreciate your support!
Bronson often offers something different. I've been eyeing this jacket and glad I finally bought it. The fit is excellent (5'10", 140 lbs, size 36) and the style is versatile. Looking forward to the denim softening up. I want to point out that the sleeves are not tapered, which is somewhat unusual but adds to the distinctive overall shape.

Great piece clothing, the denim is just right, not nearly as heavy a denim jacket so perfect for shoulder seasons. I am a large dude with a big gut and over six feet tall and working over email we were able to find a size that fit well.

I bought the 44 and it was way too big so I returned it and the 42 is a better fit. I'm 100kg with size 44 inch chest. overall I'm happy with it.

Couldn’t be happier with my order. Bronson’s designs and quality are really excellent, especially considering how affordable the items are.
Ashton H. 5/5 Verified
I don’t often leave reviews but having recently discovered the Bronson brand that is about to change. This jacket corresponds with the sizing on the site, I went for a 40. Perfect fit. In fact everything about this piece is perfect and I am really picky.
Jason P. 5/5
It’s a perfect replica and great quality. Own some vintage ones and like having this one to wear without the fear of destroying history. These also come in larger sizes that are hard to find in true vintage like 42 and 44.
