So I'm 5'8 178lbs , I bought the sweater at size 40 . And it's the perfect fit . I can layer it with a chambray shirt or just a tshirt . Its heavy and it's super soft . It's definitely made of wool . Bronson has been my togo website lately , everything has been high quality. We need more denims with suspenders button like the 1910 release they did while back. . If u guys are on the fence in buying this type of sweater ? Don't wait . Buy it . Buy your regular size I promise u won't be disappointed. The qaulity of this sweater is easily a $100 to $150 price range . Thank you bronson I will shop again
Hello,
I ordered this sweater in size 38 and fits perfectly. I'm 182 cm tall and my weight is 76 kg. Measurement definitely matches with size table. Really nice heavyweight and warm wool sweater. I will definitely buy another one in the future.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the sweater. We also appreciate you sharing your sizing and wear experience—it’s very helpful for other customers. We look forward to serving you again soon.
Great value, nice fit. I find the sizing true to their size chart with all products from pants, t-shirts to the crewneck. Very happy with all my purchases so far. Definetly gonna order again at bronson.
Reference: I‘m 184cm, 83kg, wearing 38
I have been a Bronson customer for two, maybe three years now, and I am never disappointed with my purchases from them. This sweater is no different. I have owned for the Blue USN Pre-War Woolen Sweater for a year in a size 40, which fits me great. With the Olive Green sweater, I decided to opt for a size 38, which fits me even better than the size 40. Both are my favorite sweaters in my collection. I look forward to purchasing the black color as well. 5'7, 155 lbs.
Great quality and very well made. Became an instant fan of Bronson MFG, will buy more in the future from them! I am wearing a size 44 and a tubular y shirt underneath a size XXL. A little bit itchy, but not to the degree of being uncomfortable. Get them before they are gone!
Wow! Another banger of clothing by Bronson! The weight and feel of the fabric rivals any expensive retail wool knit sweater! Bronson hit it out of the ballpark once again! A simple yet iconic sweater made famous by sailors found its spot in the vintage fashion market. The Bronson sweater matches the real Navy issued ones! Unmistakable similarities.
5'7", 160lbs, size 40
Very comfotable , after 2 wash 30° . Did not shrink . Size 44 just fit perfect 1m90 95kgs . Buy a fabric shaver it will becom you sweaters 's best friend !
An other classic in my wardrob Bronson : BRAVO !!
Thanks to ALL the Bronson team , Merry Xmasssss and Hapopy new year to all of you and loved ones ;)
See you very soon !
Absolutely LOVE this sweater. The detail in the stitching here is truly standout and I really love it. Don't hesitate. Fits perfectly true to your usual size. Well done, Bronson.

Great shirt great valeu! Choose size 42 fits perfect! Usuelly size M EU
Size 44. Great communication by Paul who even emailed to check why the size I ordered did not match previous purchases! He even managed to find my correct size in the warehosue even though it was stated as sold out on the site. Above and beyond the call of duty! Nice and toasty. Excellent for winter. Wish it was black but dark navy will do.
Excellent!
This is a high quality sweater with an excellent fit. I'm 5'7", 170lbs and bought size 40. It fits very well. Not a modern, slim fit, but a fit that leaves a little room, like it should. Not everyone is a bean pole who wants skin tight clothing. We're not all stick people.
The texture is excellent. It's a thick sweater with a slightly chunky knit that looks and feels substantial. It's wool, and it feels like wool, but not the kind of wool that feels like a scouring pad. I've worn it under a parka and a jean jacket and each one felt great.
Nice sweater and sturdy feeling construction. A little itchy but still warm. I went up a size and it’s perfect, got the large 42 (5’10” and 176lbs for reference usually a medium and 33” waist). Looks good on

Got a lot of helpon this order fro Paul and Mia at custoer service.
It was a big success to find the color and size for the sweater, otherwise sold out.
Shipped and received in good order. That was also a real plus.
Glad to have it now. I find the style, color, and weight very good.
Thanks

Fantastic quality for the price. Nice material, great fit. I am 188 cm and the 44 fit great. Appreciate the nice long sleeves. Bronson is taking over my wardrobe with their quality items at great prices.
Store owner replied:

Beautiful sweater. Nice construction. Nice fit. 10/10
Amazing sweater, 100% pure wool and very well crafted. Slightly itchy, I would reccomend a ls undershirt, but its soft enough to wear on skin if you dont mind wool. Fit is perfect for me as an athletic build.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear you appreciate the pure wool quality and craftsmanship, and that the fit works well for your build. Wool does have its character, and your layering tip is helpful. Thanks again for your support.
The design and manufacturing of this vintage style is perfect, down to the different stitching patterns. The sweater is soft and warm. I have the same one in Navy Blue XL, but the fit of this Large size is better for me.
