One of my favorite new designs lately. This one looks really substantial :D
Yes it is. It’s unlined but the jacket has a fairly hefty feel to it.
I didn’t photograph it in the box but its delivered flat and uncreased and you can actually feel it molding to your shape in the minutes after putting it on.
And it fits! What are the odds?
I know right?.

I’ve read lately that this model is played out. I just can’t see it.

*Bison is the color.. it’s a cowhide jacket
Very nice. Love the story. There's a guy on Ebay (maybe a TFLer, IDK) but he's mass selling a handful of Eastman shearlings, claiming his wife busted him finally and he now needs to thin the collection in order to keep a healthy environment LOL.

TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead you look cool. What size did you take?​

Haha. Thanks. So this A2 is marked XL but the previous owner washed it and apparently it shrunk at least 1 inch in ptp. Currently it's 22.5 ptp and my guess is originally it was close to 24 based on how Bronson does sizing.

For the n1 I ordered size 42 which also has ptp of about 24. I know I will wash it sooner or later because it's khaki, so knowing it will shrink, I bought a little bigger.

Based on photos I've seen, I might fit the 40, but I would have to be careful if I ever washed.

22.5 ptp for me is comfortable fit. I could probably come down another .25 inch and be ok. So I might wash again and put in dryer.

But I'm super impressed with this bronson. At least for this A2. Soon I will find out about the n1 and I will let you know.

Yes, they write on the official website that the jacket gives shrinkage after washing. Size 40 is risky to take because the sleeves will be short for you. I had a bad experience with the Bronson manufacturer. I bought a MA1 jacket from them, I was surprised by the quality, it seemed to me that it was very high quality. But when I got under a little rain after drying, white spots appeared on the fabric. I thought it didn't matter and decided to soak the jacket in warm water, and after drying, the jacket became all streaks from which it was impossible to get rid of. It was terrible.

It seems that Bronson makes clothes exclusively for domestic Chinese market. It looks like they don't export much. I also did not fit the size of all their things. And I was not happy with their quality. But their styles look attractive and the sites they made are beautiful.

I also bought a new watch cap from them, it was beautiful, but after a couple of months it stretched and got a bad look. There are pitfalls behind the attractive price. Now I know any thing will show itself with wear

Just wow! I doubt that it gets much better than that. I actually even prefer this to the green one.
Many thanks.
Yes, I am very excited. This one is a little less stiff than the green jacket, but wears like a glove. From the fit again a little better than the green. So a real grab'n'go jacket... just perfect.
I am now really thinking about whether I should sell my Field Leathers and take a blue trucker from LL. lol

I'll keep an eye and let you know as time goes by.
