Bronson vs Buzz Rickson B-10

[Kermit3D]

Just fyi @Kermit3D , not sure if the pattern has changed, likely not. The one I had before was a 40 and I felt it was a touch trim.
I also felt that the lining in the sleeves could have also done with a bit more 'give'... If I bought another, Id get a 42.

Thanks @Brettafett , that's interesting...
I have the same question about the size: 40 or 42?
I like jackets that are fairly fitted (I don't like too baggy of a cut). I am 6'2" (188 cm), weigh only 164 lbs (74 kg), with a 39" chest...
It's a headache !

42

@Kermit3D I’m 6’0 and 75kg, 40 chest. Had a size 40, became snug after a while so I bought a 42, but it’s a touch too big. You probably need the lengths of the 42 though…

 

[Kermit3D]

Thanks to both of you.
Yes, if I choose the B-10 Bronson, I will probably need a size 42 for the arm length. But I'm afraid I'll get a jacket with a chest that's too wide.

You may be surprised, it may work well. The piling adds bulk.
Either way, you can always return it for refund.

@Kermit3D, agree with Brett...42 is definitely better than 40, cause this is warm jacket and not a slim shirt. I did just that at the time. This will also allow the jacket to work like a jacket (keep warm) and not just be a cool piece of clothing.

Here my Bronson 42 (I'm 180 cm/100 cm/ 78 kg)

I sold my Bronson B-10 after giving it some real stick around here. After several washes it looked good but I could not get on with the chunky arms. Good value for money but obvs not up to my ELC & BR versions.
