Buzz v Bronson [2020]: MA-1 Comparison; the little details...

[ausreenactor]

If you buy something that is not exactly what you want, but is close to exactly what you want; you' will just end up up paying twice.

Done that once or twice.....a year.

Hello! I hope you are well, I made some comments on the Bronson MA-1 above.
If you would be so kind as to take a little time to consider what I have said, I would be delighted.
It's a fantastic jacket, keep up the good work you're doing over there, Bronson!

I saw the problem you said, I will study it

Now, that's what I call putting your product quality and customer satisfaction first. Cheers Bronson.

Just received Bronson Ma-1 2020 version looks better colour and detailing, also sleeves not as puffy as before. Not able to take pictures as on my way to work...

My B-15A is supposed to be delivered today!
Looking forward to hearing and seeing your MA-1!

Hi Brett
Please give us your thoughts on your New Bronson after it arrives . It’s good to have a couple of different reviews of the same jacket. I’d like to know your ideas about it to see if we are on the same page or if you feel differently about the jacket .
Cheers

It just arrived. Size 42 fits well (with a touch of room), lengths fine. Quality jacket for the price. Has some weight!
Absolutely agree about the collar though... Still middle of the workday here, so will try get some more perspective over the weekend.

According to the Bronson Tracking email my MA-1 has just left Shenzhen city on its way to the UK.

This B-15 took just over 2 weeks

 

[s4rmark]

I ordered it 2 weeks ago so, fingers crossed it’ll arrive early part of next week. The B-15c took about 2 weeks .

Bronson Ma-1

Previously sent back M38 as it was too small. This is the new L40. The colour seems better a bit darker than the first one if memory is correct. Really happy with sizing looks ok with a t-shirt with room for a sweatshirt when it gets colder. The pocket linings are thick canvas cotton, cuffs feel like a wool mix? Collar stands up like the BR version. The sleeves don’t feel as blousey round the forearms. As much as I like my G1 and the A2, nylon flights are much more comfortable in the Cab. The office pocket and side entry pockets are better for access too. I recently saw a post about the short period the B-10 lasted before becoming B-15 because of pocket issue, this would make sense. The wind flap with straight edge would be annoying if left open but as this is wool lined and warm, I imagine it will be worn fully zipped up. Well done @bronson_vintage

Looks much better for you cabbie .
Nice fit with a little bit of room for a jumper or heavy shirt.
nice!!

 

[Brettafett]

Cabbie, pls remind me how tall you are ?
You got a Platon A-2 42 right?

 

[London Cabbie]

Yes @Brettafett size 42.

5’8” 170-174 lbs. The jacket looks a bit awkward on me, was having to press the camera and run backwards to get in position...haha.
Will try and do a shot in daylight.
The colour is more like the picture I am wearing jacket than the following one hanging up on door.

 

[Brettafett]

I'm liking the look of it, and for the price... I'd probably need a 42 again...

If Bronson is copying Buzz, who in turn reproduces Lion AF33(602)-4078 , then the hand pockets should not be made from white cotton but lined with warm 80/20 wool-rayon. These warmed pockets also continued to be used on later MA-1 specifications.
