Are there any alternatives to Bronson MFG
My inseam is 34", i can't buy bronson stuff. I'd also like decent quality shirts that aren't hideously expensive

was there anything specific from bronson mfg by chance?
I like the style of their clothing (Vintage-ish style, high rise pants, etc.), but I'm just flat out too tall
I need some decent everyday button ups, and i wouldn't scoff at some pants either
most of the repro stuff (the fatigues and gurhka pants) you can find the original variants on ebay for comparable price and longer inseam
your definition of "expensive" will dictate the recommendations but secondhand polo ralph lauren button downs on ebay are a safe bet for everyday shirts
PRL andrews are a decent high rise pleated pant to echo the less military coded pieces from bronson mfg
The problem with ebay is that the shipping is usually more expensive than the actual clothing for me
what is your location and budget?
Finland, and probably somewhere around 75€ for a decent piece of clothing, though i do have wiggle room if something really nice catches my eye
thrifting is close to impossible here, and i have VERY limited options on what i can buy locally

thanks!
Uniqlo does long length trousers inseams too I believe
Might be able to find Scandinavian brands which often have taller sizes, such as MF Pen / Our Legacy, on Vinted.fi
Bronson also has trousers with an inseam of 33"
bronson inseam is usually tied to the waist size, and even the bigger sizes are usually too short
my usual measurements is something close to 34x34
ah sorry, I just checked mine (1942 army chinos) and it's 31x32

Broadway & Sons is really good at providing detailed information regarding length; not all vintage shops do that
