I’d buy this shirt just to admire it and examine it. It is made with a care for functional design and durability that has been lost in these modern times. Put it on and you are transported to a past when people cared about what they wore and what they made. Thanks Bronson for making this heritage shirt!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that the shirt met your expectations. Your satisfaction means a great deal to us.
Absolutely loved this shirt as it pairs great with my Dark Indigo 1933 501s. The material is high quality. I’m 5’11/183lbs and went with size 42 as their height/weight to size converter suggested. Shipping only took 10 days from the moment I placed my order. Would highly recommend!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the shirt, and we appreciate you sharing your sizing experience—it’s very helpful for other customers as well.
This Bronson wabash work shirt seriously impressed me. The indigo came much darker than most wabash shirts I’ve seen, with a subtle green-cast tone that gives it a really authentic vintage workwear look. The fabric feels dense with a nice twill texture, and it’s already starting to form natural elbow creases and early fades with wear.
One detail I like is the olive/ecru-toned weft on the inside instead of bright white, which makes the indigo look deeper and more vintage.
For sizing reference I’m 5’5” and 115 lbs and got a size 36. It fits great in the shoulders with a little room in the body like a proper work shirt.
For the price Bronson is charging, the fabric and construction here are honestly hard to beat. If you like heritage workwear that will fade and develop character over time, this one is definitely worth picking up.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re thrilled to hear you appreciate the fabric, color, and vintage-inspired details of the Wabash shirt.

Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the shirt. We truly appreciate your support!
This shirt has no business being this affordable! Amazing details and very well thought out. Quality build. Fit is perfect for me. I’m 5’8” 180 lbs with an athletic build and got the size 42. I’ll definitely be ordering more from Bronson!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the great feedback! We’re happy to hear the design, construction, and fit all hit the mark for you, and it’s helpful to know the size 42 worked well for your build. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back again.
I recieved the wabash shirt , size 42 I wear normally medium and it's a perfect fit . I'm 5'8 178lbs . It's a very well constructed shirt . The only complaint that I have is , the green hue thats dyed with the blue denim was a little to much for me . I washed it until the water was murkey brown . Prob from the starch the label was real greenish , looks better now after I washed it. I thought it was gonna come the same color as the pants , wish it did. But other then that it's an awesome shirt just like every thing I have bought from Bronson, it's really good quality
Store owner replied:

Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re glad it’s become your new favorite, and we really appreciate you coming back for more. Enjoy the new shirts!
My favorite work shirt! Love everything about it. I have bought 3 of these shirts.
Please, please consider doing this shirt in a black wabash and I will buy 3 of those as well.
🙏🙏🙏
Love the fit and Bronson's customer service and support! they helped me get my size right and provided accurate measurements from the factory itself :)
Solidly made shirt, very good construction and solid material for the price; did have to return my initial one & size up as it was a bit small around the shoulders, so check the sizing chart before buying!
Hi!
The Wabash shirt is great and well made. Unfortunately I don’t have any captions of it yet but I’ll comeback later. I have competed with Buzz Rickson shirts and the quality is equally good. I will definitely be back for more of your items.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards
Stefan
I normally wear an L in shirts (40" chest) but I sized up here and fits perfectly so I recommend you do the same. 5'10 180 lbs. Material is soft and comfortable. No scratchiness or starchiness here.
My only complaints: the shirt is a lot greener than you'd think. I was expecting it to be blue, but no, it's bluish green, with quite a lot of green. It shows up more in person. That, and the buttons are cheap plastic garbage. May have to replace them down the line. But that's it.
This shirt is awesome for the price. I usually wear a medium-long in shirts (15.5x35 shirt size) and kinda have wide shoulders, so I ordered a 42. It’s loose but I like that, gives me plenty of room to move around. I’m 6’1” and 180 lbs, athletic build. As others have said, the buttons are a little flimsy. It also has a slight smell from the dye, but it’s barely noticeable now and I think it will continue to fade. Overall a great shirt for the price and I wear it often.
I am 5'9" 155 lb and my chest is about a 41ish. The 42 fits perfectly. It took about 5 days for it to arrive in California. I am very please with my shirt and will buy from Bronson again. Thank you Bronson!
The Wabash Vent Hole Work Shirt is exceptional on all fronts. The style, quality, and craftsmanship of this garment far exceed the price point. I must say, Bronson Mfg. nailed the fit on this one. And while a solid 9oz weight, it's comfortable to move around in and doesn't at all feel restrictive. I paired it with the 15oz heavyweight selvedge denim. Looks great tucked or out!
For reference, my chest is 104cm and I typically wear M in most US brands.
I am 1m78 and 83kg and the size 42 is perfect for me, for a relaxed fit. (One size below may work for a tight fit.) It is great over a white t-shirt. The quality is very good, the fabric is thick and beautiful, and it looks very robust. Workmanship is clean and precise. Feels vintage but timeless, the cut is really good.
The client service is also very nice and efficient, they wrote me to confirm my size choice and then after delivery to ensure everything went well. Delivery was quite fast for Belgium (2 weeks).
Amazing value for the price.
Store owner replied:
Thanks for your recognition of our clothing and customer service. We appreciate your support and hope to continue to exceed your expectations.
6’1” 205# wearing XXL. Fits as in sizing chart. Great value!
Store owner replied:
Thanks for your recognition and for sharing a photo with us!
Excellent quality and design for the price. If you had to get something from Bronson this would be it.
My chest is 100cm, usually wear small to medium and 38 fits well for me.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for sharing a photo with us! You look great in our clothing and we're thrilled to see you enjoying it. We appreciate your support and hope to continue to exceed your expectations.
A substantial shirt that feels great. I'm typically a medium or large and got the 42 which is a decent, roomy fit. Wearing a thin merino wool sweater underneath for the photo. Looking forward to seeing how it ages and looking forward to my next Bronson purchase.
This is a really nice shirt
The style is really familiar but also unique
High quality material and I thinks it's a really good fit.
I haven't decided if I like the throat latch yet but it may grow on me
For the price you can't go wrong
By the way I'm 5 foot 8
160lbs athletic build and the 38 fits really good
Love the shirt. it's a lot more heavy and sturdy than I was expecting. Compares in quality and craftsmanship to many more expensive shirts I've looked at. Like the vent holes and the general look and feel. Did give them a cold wash and hang dry and there was very minimal shrink from that. Can heartily recommend this shirt. I have Jeans, and some HBT pants as well. All are fantastic!
Great heavy denim shirt. I'm usually a small in US sizing, but after measuring and using the bronson size guide I went with the medium. Sleeves are a little long standing but are perfect when I'm riding my motorcycle. Couldn't have asked for a better shirt at the price point. For reference I'm 5'5"and 145 lbs. Fits great for me with a t-shirt or Henley underneath. Again just make sure you use their size guide. Arrived at my house 21 days after ordering. This is now my go to shirt while riding motorcycle on cooler days.
Great shirt for the price. Triple and double stitched for durability. While the stitching is not perfectly straight, no one is going to be able to tell other than you. I don't get why you would pay 4-5 times more for a Japanese made shirt. This shirt has all the details (vent holes, chain stitch run-off) for a repro.
A great quality shirt and at an amazing price too! It is very robust and is easily worth the money. Looks great with some good denim 👌 I’d give it 6 stars if I could!
What can I say? Another great experience with Bronson. The shirt arrived quickly (for international shipping, of course), and fits just as expected based on the size details on the item/listing page. I was concerned that this would be too similar to a denim shirt I have, but the Wabash shirt is really its own thing. You're not going to find the features here (run off threads, chinstrap button, vent holes at the upper back and pits, oldschool yoke, etc) on any other shirt under $110 imo. Trust, me, I've looked, and the only other new shirt I've been able to find with some of these features I bought for that price! This became an instant favorite of mine and my wife's, and she occasionally grabs it to take the dog for a walk or curl up on the couch as an oversized "jacket" of sorts. Great purchase. This was the second of three orders (and the third of four items) I've purchased with Bronson and so far they're batting a thousand.
