Impressive N1 Deck Jacket. Very well made, very good value, plus the team at Bronson are super Helpful. I am 5ft 8in, 41in Chest relaxed, 81KG and ordered the size 42. Unfortunately I returned it as its a little long for my height. The jacket measured longer in length and sleeves than the size chart. I have bought other items from Bronson and will buy again, the quality to value ratio is unbeatable

I am 6’1”, 180 lbs with a 40 inch chest measurement. I purchased a size 42. At first impression, the jacket is robust, detailed-orientated, and well made. The size 42 fits me perfectly; the sleeves and jacket hem sit right where I want them to and the jacket allows enough room for some light layering underneath, although it is plenty warm enough by itself. The lining that provides such ample warmth is wool–and it feels like it. Folks with sensitive skin, like me, may find the wool lining to be slightly scratchy. But such is the nature of wool (and the alpaca lining of the original N-1s, for that matter) and the scratchiness was not enough for me to return it, or even avoid wearing the jacket with just a T shirt. I especially like that the jacket omits the “USN” stencil (I wish Bronson would offer more stencil-free versions of many of their clothes, especially their MA-1, for example). My only critique is that the zipper can be difficult to zip up. It often requires you to pull the jacket taut or to straighten the zipper in such a way to find the correct angle to smoothly zip it up. This by no means is a dealbreaker. Overall, this item punches well above its weight for the price. As far as authenticity, quality, and cost go, Bronson’s N-1 deck jacket can’t be beat.

Thanks again for your recognition — we look forward to continuing to provide you with quality products.
Classic WW2 era jacket. Matches with a lot of different styles. Owned both the 3rd Type with stencil and the Experimental. Order one size up as wool lining is very thick and jacket will fit as if you were already wearing a layer underneath. They age very well with wear! Wish the sleeves were a bit longer and lining less rough (something softer like B-15s'). Hope this will be improved if they put new ones on sale in a near future. I am 1,76 m - 69 kg - Size 40
Big fan of this jacket! It's like a cozy hug on a frosty day. Pro tip: listen to the rockstar customer service team and size up if you’re into layering—lesson learned (the hard way). Guess I’ll just have to snag another one in a different color... oh no, how terrible! Can't wait to see how it breaks in and gets that perfectly rugged look over time!"
I'm 98 kg, 6'2 and went with the 44. Soaked in hot water for 1 hour and the result is a master piece for very low cash. I'm always pleased with the products and service Bronson provides.
This is a very solid repro N1-Deck jacket that won’t break the bank. The jungle cloth feels soft and comfortable, but also durable. The wool liner seems like it will be warm, even if it’s a bit scratchy. It does also shed a bit, but not enough to worry. The hand warmer pockets are lined with corduroy (as is the inner pocket) and feels nice to the touch. The fit is kinda relaxed in the body, but the arms are a touch too slim. The jacket feels like a piece of gear that’s ready for anything and I’m all for it. BUT. The wool lining in the left sleeve was stitched incorrectly and causes a fold that runs down the arm. It can be felt while bending my arm making it uncomfortable. I’ll still wear it, but may have to send it to a tailor to have it fixed.

Good value for dollar Good attention to detail, for example, the pockets are lined with corduroy. A really nice touch High quality materials Fit is a little off. This is the worst part. Sleeves feel unusually short, like really short, and the width is baggier than I'd like. I was encouraged to size up but the fit ended up being a little too roomy. But I can't size down either, because then the sleeves would be too short!

Robust, high quality, great fit.
Best Bang for your buck n1 on the market. followed sizing advice and it was correct.
My number 1 jacket! I use it for those chilly days on the motorcycle! Fits true to size and I can still layer underneath. Lining is very warm. Such a classic piece, thanks for the awesome jacket and looks better with more wear.
Great stuff! Love the clean look without the stencil.

Great jacket that is very warm and punches well above its weight. Equivalent options are nearly 3 times the price, some small flaws but nothing a needle and thread cannot fix.

I am 5' 9" tall, weigh 160lbs and have a 38" chest. Based on the reviews and advice from Bronson I ordered size 40. This is a great fit for me. I can wear a jumper under but the jacket is not too loose without the extra layer. The jacket is very warm and looks great.

Was looking for a good quality Deck Jacket but didn't want to break the bank as most of them are north of £500. I came across this one for under £200 and decided to take a punt on it. Well I can say that it's absolutely top notch and the quality is fantastic! This is every bit as good as the Buzz Rickson version which is more than double the price and looks wise there is nothing between them and other than the alpaca lining on the Rickson there really is no discernible difference. This is a proper US Navy reproduction just like the Buzz Rickson version and loads of other companies do a good deck Jacket but they have their own take but I wanted something authentic looking and this does not disappoint! As for sizing I usually take a medium as I'm 5'10 and slim build but I opted for the large (40) here and it's a perfect fit, not too tight and not too loose just the sweet spot in-between. I'm very happy with this and will definitely be buying more from Bronson. Well done 👏
Gran calidad. Tallaje perfecto para 1,82 cm y 84kg.

Basically I think is is a pretty good jacket. Very warm, and fits well. Thanks to Paul for his guidance on sizing. My only knock is that within the first week the seam in one of the hand warmer pockets came apart (see photo). I hope to have it repaired by my local seamstress. For this I give it 3 stars for the poor quality control and inconvenience/extra cost of having to take it to be repaired (which is a better choice than returning it to China). Otherwise, the construction seems to be good. For the money, I think this is a good deal. Only time will tell.

Store owner replied: Dear valued customer, we're really sorry for bringing you a bad shopping experience. I have reported this issue to our production department and asked them to pay more attention to quality control. In addition, I have sent you an email regarding compensation. Please have a check.
The photo is my wife actually, who grabs it when ever she goes out to put away the goats...this is southern California, but in the mountains in February its cold (daytime temp 40-45 degrees in February) Regarding the size, I usually wear a Large and so ordered a 44...where there enough room for maybe a another thin sweater inside. The fit and finish is really excellent, and the jacket is very warm ! and best of all durable...it can withstand abrasion so much better than a performance down jacket (too expensive to get torn by fences and gates around my property. Very satisfied so far, glad I found out about Bronson, otherwise I would have ended up with a boring Barn Coat which is not as warm by itself.
The quality and build of this jacket is outstanding , the materials and fittings are first class it's a heavy jacket but my god is it warm , the fit is perfect thanks to advice from exelent customer service at bronson , I'm 5' 7" and 80kg I bought a 42 their is room for layering if I want to I've bought several items from bronson in the past and have never been disapointed delivery took a couple of weeks which is what you would expect from international shipping but my god its worth the wait .
Well made, thick and warm jacket. I am 180 cm and 85 kilos. Size 42 fits well, after a machine wash at 40°C. I can wear underneath a light jumper or a shirt.
Fantastic coat. By far, my favorite Bronson item that I have purchased to date. I am 5'10", approximately 150 lbs, with a 39" chest. A size 40 fits perfectly after a machine wash on 60-80 degree delicate setting and air drying.
SANTIAGO BADIA 61 YEARS OLD FROM TARRAGONA SPAIN Buy size 38 and with just a flannel shirt or T-shirt, there is enough, as it is very hot. If you want to wear a sweater with a shirt, it is better to order one or two sizes more. I am very happy with the purchase, because I feel very good with the jacket. True to the original. Excellent work faithful to the original, and very good treatment and communication with Branson. Thank you
As said before, great jacket. Great fit, superb detail. L/40 fits perfect for just a shirt underneath or a thin sweater. At 50° F it's very cozy. Measured on of my jacket before ordering.
Je suis enchanté de mon achat, de très haute qualité! On est toujours un peu inquiets de commander des vêtements en Chine, pour la qualité ou la taille, ici c'est vraiment du haut-de-gamme à prix d'ami. Très bon contact commercial, pour une première commande j'ai reçu un email pour valider avec moi la taille commandée. Le colis est arrivé en 10 jours. Je suis passionné de WW2 et cette reproduction de la veste de pont USN est parfaite, bravo Bronson MFG! Pour les mensurations je mesure 1m85 pour 85 Kg, la taille 44 me convient très bien avec un pull pas trop épais et un tee-shirt dessous. Je commanderais d'autres articles, le B-15 me tente beaucoup aussi!
I’m 6’1 196 lbs, I got the 44 largest they had and it fits snug. I kinda wish they offered a 46 to see what one size up would feel like on me. Jackets is quality though! Made very well, shipping was fast. Best bang for your buck for sure.
Love the coat, definitely my go to jacket.
I love this jacket. The fabric used is solid, the quality is amazing and very warm, in addition to that I wear a jacket that is not very common in my country. I can almost say that I am the only one who wears it, and this is something special. I am 174 and weigh 72 kg. Size 38 is very suitable, neither tight nor loose
It took a month to get here, which wasn't the happiest time, but when it arrived all was forgiven. That's guys for the renewing of the Navy N1 Deck Jacket, just like 1970 all more again.
I bought it as a gift. he is 1,80 m tall and weighs 78kg, size 40 fits comfortably. Good value for Money
Perfect fit for this style very sturdy material and warm inside, just like the ones I saw in the movie “their finest hours “ already ordered a couple of other styles. Great work Bronson Olive Kaki 38
Bellissima giacca, molto pesante e realizzazione top!
Great jacket well worth the money
Encore une très belle veste. Elle est juste superbe et surtout très chaude. Elle est très bien coupé. Je l'adore . Merci a Broson pour nous fabriquer de si belles choses.
I had bought the less expensive version of this deck jacket, and it is a good version. This version of the N1 deck jacket is next level. Reminds me of the one I had in high school many moons ago. Warm on a chilly morning and the jungle cloth is bomb proof. I've seen examples of much more expensive brands and I would have to say that this is their equal. As far as size goes, be sure to do your measurements. These are more of a tailored garment so the arm holes are smaller so the jacket moves with you, instead of pulling away from your body. Very well put together, and I expect to get many years of use from this garment.
fits just enough room for a sweater or hoodie not too lose and not too snug, great workmanship identical to originals in 40s and 50s navy pictures and ones seen on movie The Finest Hours and Greyhound, heavy rugged construction warm feel inside wool lining, took about 20 days from shipping date but worth the wait, will order more styles. PS tracking app not very accurate, showed a second rout delivery drop across the US in the east coast when mine had already landed in the west coast where I'm located, a bit confusing, might want to correct that app issue with Shop APP thanks: Raphael
Great again! I brilliant jacket. Thank you!
Bronson do it again. Just superb. The fit is perfect in the chest but a little long in arms and perhaps a tad long but not by much. But that's me! Only issue I had was the main buttons had be re stitched but I'm not bad with a needle and thread so no worries. All in all a great jacket. Especially compared to the very expensive makes!
Probably one of the most accurate recreations of the iconic N1 jacket on the market today. The heavyweight corded material used in the shell is identical to the original fabric that was used in my original. I ordered the XL (size 42) and it fits me perfectly at 5' 7" 185 lbs. These do run a tad small, so just be mindful of that. Jacket is a bit weighty thanks to the 80% wool lining but it's warm as toast. I've owned several N1 jackets and this one by Bronson is by far the best. It's like getting a brand new original N1 right from the Navy storeroom. It was worth the two month wait.
Quality craftsmanship great reproduction.
