I'm planning to grab some of their tubular t-shirts once the UK seller I found has them back in stock. Have see them pretty well rated and they are a better price for me compared to other options

I’m a fan, price is great and I’ve been happy with every piece I’ve got from them. Shipping takes a little while but that’s really the only downside. Read the size chart and expect to go 1-2 sizes up than normal.
at this point nearly all of my tees have the tags at the back of the neck cut off haha
I've been eyeballing the 17.5oz zip up hoodies and the tubular tees for a while, but I haven't decided to pull the trigger and order anything yet.
Has anyone looked in to getting Bronson pieces shipped directly from CN instead of via the webshop? I've only done some basic browsing but it looks like several pieces would cheaper even including shipping and there's a little more availability.
Have one of the tubular tees. It’s beefy and thick. Not sure if it’s loopwheeler but it feels great for £25. It shrunk a little after first wash.
where in the UK did you buy from?
Olderbest, pricing is in £ but ships from China
ah nice, that's where I found them. Waiting for them to restock sizes
Their customer service was a little odd - after ordering they messaged asking me for measurements and suggested sizing up. I’m normally an S and went for M based on measurements against a Uniqlo U tee, and they suggested going for L. Would have been far too big
I'll be wary of that then, cheers
Given the Bronson webshop is based in the UK anyway why not just order from there and skip the middleman?
I didn't even realise they were, I had assumed they were US as the site defaults to USD and mentions free shipping if spending over $99
but yeh that makes much more sense, thanks
strangely enough looking at the contact address, bronson and olderbest are the same company
Wouldn't surprise me if they are/have the same agent in the UK I guess.
I think when I ordered older best were cheaper, and think it’s a uk based front for the same operation out of China. Either way, it’s good value
just ordered some of their overpants
hope their fire
they're
Man their cargo pants sold out before I could snag a pair. Anyone know how often they restock?
It's a little erratic, in my experience, but I have put myself on the e-mail list for a restock in the past (the M-1951 fatigue jacket), and I got an e-mail... maybe a month or two later that it was back in stock? I'm on their restock notification list for that 1930s-style hoodie and a couple of other things, as well.
I just bought a couple of the tubular gusset t-shirts, incidentally, and really love them. They almost feel like something in between full-on sweatshirt material and the loopwheel tubular shirts they have.
Just checked their width for some of their pants and if I see it right they have a w38 chino with width 36
Just got their M-51 parka, and for the money it's a seriously nice jacket. Wish the arms were more oversized like the original, but it's a great fabric and well constructed.
Anyone ever try buying their stuff off eBay? I’m lookin to pick up this vest: https://bronsonshop.com/collections/vests/products/military-style-quilted-padded-ripstop-nylon-vest-olive?
Sold out on the site but it’s available on eBay
Bronson
Military Style Quilted Padded Ripstop Nylon Vest - Olive
The vest is made from lightweight ripstop nylon shell, that's quilted and lightly padded.
Does anyone know how much the thigh measurement compares to inseam?
You can also get their clothes via Aliexpress!
Would you happen to know if there’s a specific seller to use?
I'll have to have a look at my order history but usually it's 1 or 2 stores that sell the same item; sometimes they also carry a different label (e.g. Non-Stock).

Awesome thank you!
do you need to pay any taxes or have they got that covered?
They covered it, but I think the tee was below the import tax rate anyway
Oh that's good to hear, I wanted to order a few things but didn't want to get hit my custom duties to UK
looks like they’re having a sale rn
can anyone comment on the sizing of ‘ 9 oz US Cotton Tubular T-Shirt ‘ or their tees in general? i’m an XL in whitseville t shirts, expecting about the same for one of these but curious if anyone has experience
Their size charts are generally accurate. I have one of the loopwheel tubular tees and went up a size which worked well for me but would refer to their measurements since sizing can differ by item
thanks! any guidance on differentiation between those labeled loopwheel tubular vs just tubular? i know they’re different construction methods but curious what the quality diff is, if any
I only have the loopwheeled version so can’t speak to the others but it’s quite nice, the fabric is on the heavier side of midweight and the neck hole is taut with seams that are all pretty solid. I got the vintage black color and like the shade of it as well
cool thanks @StotheG7 i grabbed some tees and chinos
I see Bronson and Olderbest restocked these navy deck pants.

Anyone have any experience with them? They look nice. I'm looking for casual, high-rise, lightweight white pants for the summer.
Bronson
USN Herringbone Deck Pants
Reproduced the 1940s Deck Work Pants. Made of 10.5 oz cotton herringbone twill(HBT) that is greige fabric, so there are cottonseed particles on the surface. High rise and a straight leg. Soft and comfortable. Garment-wash, and not shrink.
They do look really nice! Is 10.5 oz lightweight?
great q, I have no idea
Thats pretty average weight, think jeans or chinos. Should be fine though
Yeah for context a lot of raw denim brands will sell a light weight or summer weight which is 11oz. I’d say for these pants 10.5oz is pretty regular but should be fine in summer, hbt used to be the fabric the army used before ww2 for general purpose wear.
Why are so many items on Bronson’s website always sold out? Sometimes it feels like half their stuff is sold out
Seriously, there are so many items I'd love to give them money for.
Same; I have a couple items saved that I would love to buy but are currently sold out
You can also get a few of their items on Aliexpress, but most aren’t available there
Thanks, that's good to know
I think they do pretty small manufacturing runs, which contributes to a lot of items being sold out. You can sign up for email notifications when a specific item is back in stock, and I've had good luck with that.
I just got some cords from them
they are v nice
would recommend
