Bronson type 2 Selvedge Denim Jacket

Hi Everyone, Welcome to The Twisted Hazel!
Today's Video is a review of the Bronson Type 2 Denim Jacket!
It is Lot 807xx 1954 type 2 salvage denim Jacket.
Bronson do have their own official website but they are also readily available on AliExpress & quite often if they are sold out on their website you'll usually still be able to get them on AliExpress.
I hope you enjoyed this video and a bit of the history behind the denim Jacket, thanks for watching & please like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video and tell us what content you'd like to see from The Twisted Hazel in the comments!

Hi. Nice gift. But it looks like a Levis trucker jacket tho..?

[@TheTwistedHazel]

Thanks and well spotted. Yes this is actually a reproduction of the Levis 507xx type 2 jacket from 1954. This was the precursor to the current type 3 Levis trucker jacket which was introduced in 1962.

[@EungNiEMMY]

@@TheTwistedHazel Is there any advantages of buying it from Bronson? I mean I assume you had no options since it was a gift for you. Let me know :D

[@TheTwistedHazel]

If you’re comparing like with like then the Bronson is significantly cheaper than Levis, currently on the Levis website a type 2 jacket in raw selvage denim will cost AUD$440 (on special) where as you can get the Bronson on AliExpress for about AUD$180. If you’re comparing to a different type of denim jacket then it’s really depends on what style and features you’re after.

👋 Hi, after once washed, 22.8 inch for length isn't too short for you?

[@TheTwistedHazel]

Hi @jeanwyclef-wv1mh the length is really a matter of personal taste, I quite like shorter jackets as longer jackets can tend to make me look shorter (although I do have some long jackets as well). Shorter jackets were historically made so it was easier for people to wear them when horse riding, motorcycle riding, driving, etc.

@The TwistedHazel what´s the size I AM 1,67 AND 77... LOOKS great i order a usn nº1 navy deck from Bronson

[@TheTwistedHazel]

Thank you. It is a size 40, I’m 175cm & 75kg. In my latest video (update! washing nudie jeans) I’ve recently given it a full wash and even put it through the dryer & it’s now just the right size, it is a slightly roomy fit but perfect for layering.

@@TheTwistedHazel Thank you apreciate

Nice jacket! Good to start seeing some Bronson reviews. The jacket on you looks too big and the arms too long IMHO.

[@TheTwistedHazel]

Thanks @503punxoioio9 Yes it is a little larger than I would like but I did buy it a little bit larger so I could wear sweaters under it comfortably in winter. Also because it’s unsanforized it will shrink quite a bit when washed, I have done 1 soak on it so far but I expect it will shrink more when I give it it’s first proper wash as unsanforized denim can shrink up to 10% it’s original size. I also own a Bronson Henley long sleeve tee in large which fits perfectly and is meant to fit the same as the denim jacket once washed.

[@ashurward47]

Hello! Whats your height and weight? Am planning to order from Aliexpress so i hope it fits well!

[@TheTwistedHazel]

Hi @ashurward47 I haven’t measured or weighed myself in a while but I’m around 170cm (5’8”) tall and 80kg (176 lbs). I own a Bronson henley tee in large which fits perfectly (a medium would definitely be to small). This denim jacket is unsanforized which means it will shrink up to 10% when washed, I have soaked it once in hot water and it is still a little larger than I would like but I suspect it will shrink even more once I give it it’s proper first wash. Also because of my height the sleeves are a little bit longer than ideal but there’s not much I can do about that, as a shorter guy I either have to put up with it or get it tailored sometime down the road.
