M-41 HBT jacket and trousers, Bronson’s

[Shanghai-Mayne]

Hi Shanghai ! I got 2 N1 form Bronson , the coast effective , at the time i ordered the N1 it was the only model left and I must say that I'm reaaly happy with , and the 2ns is the navy blue demotex that I received this week : worth the money fort both ! The + , I rally appreciate is the corduroy inside pockets . Here in Paris it's 6 / 8° , I wear the jackets with just a tee shirt ( Br mfg tubular 9 or 10 oz , the only one I wear now , they are so cool and solid ...) a light merinos sweater when it's getting 0° , that is enough ! I wear the max size and it's just enough , the 44R from Br is true and fit perfect. I though about tryiong some N1 from Buzz , or else but , a N1 is still a N1 and when the fabric and constuction is good as the Br Mfg is I don't see the interest to spend so much money in other brand just because it is a renowned one ( well the fabric might be leveled up , but Br is good enough ! ) I weish I had more space to get the submarine !

Did you ordered their submarine crew N-1 ,as well?

I think that Bronson D-1 is a mighty fine looking D-1. Looks very top end. Is it as nice as it looks?

Almost as ‘top end’ , far more better than their C3 , which released one year early.

Yes , if the reseller don't sell boots it's a problem. I found mine accidentaly on Vinted ( second hand site ) , Just typing Eastman Leather to see what jackets were proposed . These are second hand but never worn , price was astoundingly low : 150euros . What I don't really understand is that these are so over priced, imo. I understand the made in Japan / quality leather , the fact thatELC is the only one to sell this model etc arguments , but their lower A2 are at 1149£ VS 949£ for the boots . I don't get it , maybe i'm wrong ! I will check the quality this week when I'll get them in my hand and my feet in Anyway , they are beautiful and very specials , high quality I'm sure.

Ehm, this website just screams scam. I'd be very reluctant to recommend them unless you know for sure they're legit (but that would amaze me).

You're right , I checked the site on trust pilot , no mention +. Did some researches about this site and it seems to have been created 5 months earlier. So yes , I'm gonna edit the reply . Thanks TaiAtari , I should have been more careful .
And yes , ELC products at that price , no way . I just had a look on the raider boots .

Usually, made in Japan boots, priced near 1000 euro, because it construction process were completed by hand work or 1/2 hand work. But unless you’re trained shoe maker, you can’t 100% sure about it.

In fact I had no choice , I asked the Guy why selling those boots at such low price and he told me that he didn't want to wait long before selling these . I had chance !
