Already have 2 BR L-2a’s. One all blue, t’other with olive knits. Both superb jackets but pricey when new.
I ordered an L-2 from Bronson via ebay a week ago. Today it arrived.
First impressions are very good. Weighs the same as the BR - which suprised me.
Has good repro Talons. Knits are great. Nylon feels similar weave and heft/drape. Linings are supposed to be different so can’t compare but looks very much like a Buzz L-2.
Bronson is an XL. But fits like a BR 42”.
I will wear it with jeans as i think it looks better than the blue jackets. Both go with chinos.
So, for £105 with shipping, what’s my verdict ? Much like the old Weintraub (and Platon A-2’s) it is great value for money and not like the awful MA-1 repros - although more expensive than those for sure.
I’d recommend them.
Incidentally, great customer service. As soon as i ordered i got an email asking for height, weight etc to ensure i hadn’t ordered something that would not fit the chinese sizing. In fact i’d ordered an large and was told the xl would be better. Good call.
