A gorgeously textured piece. This cut in particular is very flattering around the arms and torso. It is a little long through to the waist which is quite common for T shirt cuts these days, but this piece is far closer to ideal proportions for most guys.
It’s on the lighter side compared to other “heavywight” T shirts. It’s close to the Uniqlo classic crew, and it’s much lighter than something like the Bronson heavyweight tubular shirt on this same site. This done mean it’s a little more breathable and great for layering.
Really great piece. I’m 5’8” - 5’10” with a broader build and ordered an M.
I have had this coat for about a year now and figured I would write a quick review. I'll break down this review into 2 parts, customer service/purchase experience and the item itself.
First, the customer service is excellent. They helped me figure out which size I should order without giving me any trouble. That combined with the size charts online made figuring out the correct size very easy. Delivery was quick and it arrived in a few days.
The coat itself is very nice. The color is excellent and pairs with almost anything, the weight of the wool is great, the herringbone pattern is tightly stitched, and the buttons are real horn which is a nice addition on a coat at this price point. I've worn this on some pretty cold and windy days in NYC and this coat kept me quite comfortable except on the coldest of days.
Overall, quality is great for the price. I was not expecting this to outperform a $1000+ coat, but it does punch slightly above its weight class.
My biggest gripe with this coat and what prevents me from giving 5 stars is the collar. The collar is EXTREMELY floppy and WILL NOT stay up despite what the product photos might suggest. For a winter coat of this style that is designed to block wind and the elements, that is a major design flaw. The collar may as well not be there, it is not functional AT ALL. If they do not want to fix the collar design, they should at least consider adding a throat latch to force it to stay up.
Really happy with these. I've previously owned a pair of Militora jeans so I knew I would be happy with the quality but the fit on these is also great. I got mine back in June and have been wearing them a lot and they are fading really nicely. Not sure if they will be restocked but I would definitely reccomend them!

Great quality heavy weight tee shirt. Excellent for the price.
I love these, I really do. I've had them for about a month now, not especially hard work though.
I'll start with my gripes, which are more gripes than issues.
They're LONG. Even if you're generally considered tall (6'-6'4") you may have to hem or cuff them. I'm somewhere about 5'9 or 5'10 and I have to cuff them a few times, but it doesn't take enough of a cuff to cause an issue with too much material, even if you keep it to a ~1" or `1.5" cuff. The waist sizes are also a hair on the snug side for what I'm used to.
The solution is to CHECK THE CHART.
Now the pros:
I love the rise. It's high without being waistcoat high, these will work well for you if you're fat without having enough of a rise to actually outline your stomach along the rise.
The hips and leg area are cut very well, nice and full, but not especially full. It seems to me that it's full enough to have a good amount of room to move around without any elastic or other non-cotton material, plus a little extra room because they designers are cool like that.
The cloth appears to be very good and it is dyed well.
The leather patch is real leather, and is sealed off on the face but the edges are not, so if it dries out before that wears off you are able to sneak in a little bit of oil if necessary.
Non-issues, potential issues, and oddities:
The cinch does work and appears made well, but it doesn't really give you much adjustability. There's plenty of tail but you can't really cinch it down more than maybe an inch if I had to guess. That could be normal and I just don't understand cinches enough.
The copper rivets are exposed on the interior, which can cause transfer to your shirts if worn tucked. I had this problem, but pre-treating then washing fixed it completely. I only noticed this once on multiple of my shirts then never saw it again. If your shirts are sensitive to this or to pre-treating, or you're concerned about it potentially permanently being stuck on your shirts, I would advise taking it seriously.

Ordered size 34. At 6’4” I always struggle with heritage style clothes especially from Asia but these were long enough
Fabric is light-medium weight, great for spring and autumn. Love the HBT texture
Really great quality clothing ! Great attention to details like inside lining close to period one
Great fit for a slim chap like me ! Ordered Jacket L and Trousers M
Would recommend getting an extra size for jacket, but trousers and vest fit perfect

Great quality lightweight shirt/jacket. Great for warmer weather with a t-shirt underneath or a a layering piece on colder days. Excellent price and prompt delivery to the UK.

Thanks so much for your review! We're glad you're happy with the quality and value. Really appreciate your support!
Awesome quality, amazing retro design and fabrication absolutly love Annual ring clothing, normally a medium, but have now bought two waist coats and one pair of trousers in L and its a perfect fit, apart from my fat belly 😥
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your continued support and the great photo! Love your outfit, and we're so glad you're happy with the quality and vintage style!

Great quality cotton IG107 lightweight shirt/jacket. I'd like it even more if there was button closure at the wrist. That's a minor gripe, though.

Thanks so much for your review! We're glad you're happy with the quality, and we appreciate your feedback on the cuffs. We'll pass your suggestion on to our product team!
Excellent quality cotton sateen fatigue pants. Love the high waisted style and relaxed straight fit. Great quality for an incredible price. A**
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your review! We're glad you love the high-waisted style and quality. We also appreciate your feedback on the sizing!
This one is almost perfect but I am not 100% happy with this one. Either I am between two sizes or actual sizes are very different from one jacket to another. Let me explain: I am 1,76 m and weigh 71kg. Ordered it in 40 and it was super large and sleeves were unusually long. Switched to size 38 and now it is rather close to the body and length and sleeves are almost too short (I mean it still looks ok but more like a short or slim fit).
I wish I could machine wash it to give it a vintage appearance and also because actual color is more yellowish/redish than the khaki color on Bronson pictures, but I’m too afraid it may shrink and fit even shorter than before. Not sure how I would look like in reenactment with this one because of the modern fit on me but looks good on a daily basis.

Thanks for your detailed review and photo! The outfit looks great on you. We're sorry the fit and colour didn't fully meet your expectations. We'll pass your feedback on to our product team for review and future improvements.
Really like the jacket, I'm normally a medium but 'sized up' and got a large but to be honest could have gone for a medium but I'm still very happy with it.
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your review! We're glad you're happy with the jacket, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with the sizing!
The jacket is well constructed and the design follows the original design minus the heavy wool lining! It looks very nice and is a good 2 season jacket! My recommendation is to size up at least 1 size and if you want a roomier fit 2 sizes! I will get a lot of wear out of this jacket!
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your feedback! We're glad you love the design and quality, and really appreciate you sharing your sizing advice!
A very comfy baggy jean I really like them. I’ve Just put them through the first wash after wearing them for a several weeks. No signs of any fading or whiskering yet. They look like they’ve shrunk quite a bit. Will retry them on again later. Very happy with them. 🙏🏼
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your review! We're glad you're enjoying the jeans, and we appreciate your feedback on the shrinkage. We'll pass it on to our product team!
Very nice t shirts excellent quality. I would suggest sizing up as after a wash on 30 degrees they do shrink slightly

A really well made pair of jeans at an absolute bargain I can’t fault them at all. These jeans are excellent quality for the price. The only thing I’d change would be the zip for a button up fly. But that’s just my personal preference I guess 😎
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your review! We're glad you're happy with the quality and value. We also appreciate your suggestion about the button fly and will pass it on to our product team!

Since I got the Double Knee Pants, i put them on every day to work. I like them, good quality. Delivery was very quick. Thank you!

Thanks so much for your review! We're glad you're enjoying the pants for everyday work and are happy with the quality and delivery. Really appreciate your support!
Bought this Bronson Tee for a very discerning friend and they love it. In particular they commented that they like the high neck band, which remains tight, the fit afforded by the tube construction, so the garment does not lose its shape, the heavier than normal cotton fabric and the colour, which is black, but with a very slightly washed appearance. I also commend the customer service, communication and speedy delivery!
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad your friend loves the T-shirt, and it's great to hear you're happy with our service and delivery. Really appreciate your support!
Great fit and product. I’m 6’2, 190lbs usually but a L. Purchased an XL here.
Another great pair of jeans from MBBCAR, I've now got 3 pairs. The black & indigo versions of the 14.5oz and a brilliant pair of 19oz which are no longer available. The craft and workmanship quality is outstanding for the price. These are first class garments. The 14.5oz is best ordered a size up, but then the fit is perfect. Smart or casual they always look great.
Thanks again Olderbest.
