Olderbest.com corduroy suit

[Edward]

Has anyone ever bought anything from olderbest.com ? They have a fair few nice pieces, including a relatively inexpensive corduroy suit, on offer, but I've seen one too many websites advertising on Facebook which are clearly based on the business model of lifting someone else's photos, and then making a loose approximation of the garment in the picture if one is ordered....

They are very similar to Bronson, possibly the same company?
I have bought two of their shirts, but one the sleeves were far too short, shorter than what they had listed. The quality on both was good, though. Have not gone back for anything because I’m afraid of the measurements being incorrect.

They sell quite a few items on the site listed as being Bronson, so there may be a connection. Sadly with FB ads these days so many are clearly rip-offs as I recognise the photos they've pinched that it's hard to tell sometimes who is and is not legit. Olderbest do look moreso than many of the others, though!

Definitely legit. The shirt I kept was this one and I still wear it all the time:

9 oz Yarn-Dyed Dobby Creamy White Striped Work Shirt

It is based on the common left breast pocket work shirt from 1920 to 1940s, made of 9 oz stripe jacquard fabric, 100% cotton, and used natural corozo buttons.

To update...

I ordered a leather scarf-ring from Olderbest a few weeks ago. I'd hunted all over the web for one. Wanted to use it with bandanas as I wear a lot of those this time of year to keep the sun off my neck, and fancied switching things up a bit from just a knot. It's amazing how expensive some of these woggles are - couldn't find one that look good online for much less than about GBP25.... The Olderbest option cost me about £15, including shipping, and took just about three weeks to arrive:

Seems as good as many of the much more expensive similar items.

There are quite a few vests especially on Olderbest I'd love to try, though for now I'm wary. They seem to top out at a 44. I generally vary between a UK44 and UK46; I'd be confident of the did an XXXL, but their 44/XXL (from direct experience of stuff in China) would likely be just a fraction too tight for me. Hopefully they'll add to the range. Bronson seem to be doing slightly more bigger sizes now, if not across the full range yet, so hopefully these others will follow. I know a lot of their stuff isn't on the same level as the Japanese stuff (given the price difference), but then neither is my wallet...
