Coming from a person that gets all his shirts through the Holley website (they cost about 5-10$) I saw “best affordable shirt” and then heard $40 and was like ahhhh we are in 2 different professions lol

haha these are more artisanal tees. but the first one was around 25 bucks! sometimes worth the investment if you can keep it clean (hard for me)
@minerforjob32Ай бұрын
@@JamesHerlihy The price for a t shirt in 1955 (according to google) is 2 bucks, adjusted for inflation that would be 23.40 today. Considering Bronson (and most modern artisan tees) arent mass produced like they would be back in the day, we could suppose that the cost difference between mass produced could make up for USA labor costs back in the day. SO, basically it costs the same. ( Im just ranting I completely understand its expensive today lol)

Bronson sweats/hoodies are really good, probably the best bang for buck of all things on the site. Their military jackets are also really good for the money and hit above their weight, especially the deck jacket and flight jackets. Regarding the Tshirts, I have the loopwheel and the regular 9 oz tubular. I prefer the 9 oz as they're not as boxy as the loop wheel ones. BTW, if you plan on using dryer, they're going to shrink a lot. Based on your fit pics, I think you can get a really nice fit on that loopwheel if you blast it in the dryer. It'll come down at least a half size and should shorten up on the length and pinch in the sides. But be careful on your slub one as you're pretty close on that one already and any shrinkage will probably take you to sausageville ; )

Loop wheel shirts can be pretty hard to get the sizing right since the can be pretty boxy. I really like mine from Old but Gold Clothing that I had natural indigo dyed by Wild Frontier Goods. It fits perfectly without being too tight or loose and boxy, it’s great for Japanese summers.

I just discovered your channel and placed my first order of Brunson T-Shirts. The same thing happened to me, I placed the order for two large T-shirts and got a message back asking for my measurements (5ft 10, 185 pounds) and they suggested I size up to an Xl. I have never worn anything in an XL but looking forward to getting the shirts. I ordered the 9 oz tubular cotton in a Dark Green, and a Loopwheel Tubular Athletic shirt.

Im currently wearing the loop wheel t shirt you reviewed and have a few other colours. The price point for the quality is great and their customer service seems spot on as well. I cant really justify paying too much for t shirts as much as u want to so these really tick a lot of boxes for me.

no idea whether it's indeed the case here, but not having a slubby texture doesn't have to be a sign that it's not a loopwheeled fabric. I have quite a few pieces from Merz B. Schwanen, all loopwheeled in Germany, and the fabric is smooth and uniform. however, it is bouncy and soft in that familiar low-tension way

@@no4365 I ordered a couple things and indeed it was true. I did learn however that the loopwheel tshirts aren't actually loopwheel, they claim they use "an evolution of those machines".
