@bronson_vintage have now got re-stock of 1950s US Army Officer 14oz Chino Trousers.
Just bought a pair how do they size up and what’s the shrinkage after a few washes..?
Hope everyone is keeping well under the circumstances.

Eat 10% less, do 10% more? ;)

Never looked at Bronson trousers? Will see how the shipping goes compared to ATF. My chinos on the mannequin look tired...

Had the chinos a couple of weeks, really thick cotton and well made. They come in quite wide, I noticed on @bronson_vintage website in the photos models have put a slight tuck in the turn up, done the same they look perfect. May try the Buzz Ricksons next time.
They are already out of stock...:oops:

Hi friends, any experience with this pants?


I have a pair of the darker colour ones and they are very good for the price.
Really are cut like 1930s trousers so if you don't like baggy/lose cut they are not for you.
They come with a 1 1/2" sewn cuff so for where leg length is a problem with bronson jeans and trousers for taller guys these do have extra material to let down but you will loose the cuffs.
Zip fly

After a few washes
Size W31-32/M

bronson mine
waist 81cm 81cm
leg opening 9.25" nearly 9"
length 42.1" just over 40.5"
I don't know how they are measuring this, I measured the same as my first photo above.
Bronson may also be including the extra hem material you can let down.

Thanks @dinomartino1 ! That'd be way too short, even with the extra cuff material...

I think I'm gonna head to Luxire and have them make something based on measurements of my WPG M1937 trousers, but with pleated front and brace buttons.
