Just taken advantage of it, shame the m-421a has sold out, my fault for procrastinating really, but I'll be happy with a new top

Got the email and snagged a couple goodies

Grabbed a couple of their 9 oz Tubular T-shirts. Always fantastic.

Who cleaned up on this one? I've spent about seven hundred dollars on Bronson in the last while. So I think I'm good. Got the N-1, the M-1, the L-2A. Couple of chambray shirts, the black waffle cotton top. Not sure if the original chambrays were that light of a material though. Thin, but seem well made. Dry fast if you just want to wash them in the sink and hang them up.

I splurged and grabbed their last AL-1. I've been curious about that jacket type ever since Jorge posted his amazing original, and the last one they had in stock was my size, so it felt like it had my name on it.

Supposedly it's out for delivery today, so I might have pictures to post later...

Nice, I'm currently wearing the MA-1, I think it's really a well made jacket. Beats the current Alpha commercial offering, which is made in China anyways, and doesn't have the attention to original detail that the Bronson has. For instance, the fill on the Bronson is sixty per cent wool which is close to the original, and makes a big difference in feel and weight, comparing an original to a knock off. Would like to see the AL-1.

Bought a daisy mae hat in frog skin camo, short sleeve chambray shirt, and a M1943 field jacket

 

[Spitfireace]

Nice! How do you like the M-43?

Nice! How do you like the M-43?

Should be arriving tomorrow. I’ll let you know.

Not exactly VLJ material but I'm very happy with this track jacket I got in the sale

 

[Spitfireace]

I have a black waffle top I still haven't worn. Oh well, I know it is hundred per cent cotton.

 

[mulceber]

Neat jacket type:

Not the sort of thing I'd be willing to spend RMC, Eastman or GW money on (I think RMC is the only top-tier company that reproduces them? edit: checked, and Buzz Rickson does too.), but it's a unique flight jacket and a great addition to the collection at this price point.

Jan ,Spot on!

 

[Spitfireace]

I like it. I like it a lot.

 

[Ritchy]

Nice jacket and good fit Jan

Flying leather neck wearing AL-1, near Chosin Reservoir

Nice! How do you like the M-43?

Just arrived today. Fit and finish seem spot on. A little sheen on the sateen, so thinking a cold water wash and a no-heat dryer to help break it in. Does fit trimly across the chest. Wearing a short sleeve shirt in the pic, and could wear a thin sweater, but wouldn't add much more. Fit in the shoulder and chest remind me of my ELC A2. Though maybe this will inspire me to drop that "winter weight" I managed to pack on, lol

 

[Spitfireace]

Still maintain that handwashing and hang up to dry is the best option.

I bought their AL-1 when it first came out, I was intrigued by it too, as it isn’t one you hear much about. Great jacket, but I found that it just didn’t suit me. The handwarmer pockets on the chest are a great idea, and I’m sure they were the very fellows in the Aleutians, but they tend to bulk out the chest area, which is not a flattering look, especially if one is not exactly sylph-like. I sold mine. I have the B-9, which I absolutely love, and the N-1, although I think mine is Friday afternoon job, with some dodgy stitching. Good beater though. Might see what else I can pick up.
