Must say the denim looks a very nice rich indigo colour... and nice drop shoulder on the jacket... and of course there will be all the fun with sizing we can expect from TCB... generating interest for the observers and cortisol for the participants!

I wouldn't want this thread to unravel... but it's like going into a 30s repro thread (if one existed) and saying what's the point of adding a cinch and suspender buttons to the jeans, or a 50s thread and asking for a 25cm rise instead. Or looking at the latest TCB 1890s repro and questioning why there's only one pocket... If the manufacturers are doing a repro, then if what they're copying has wonky-ness then I'd expect them to replicate that. It's just a feature of the time. When the bloke above snips off the extra thread and gets some wear into the jacket, it'll come up looking grand imo. I'm a sucker for a variety of denim jackets... so happy to embrace the repro features... I am always taken by how the industry does reinvent and evolve itself with new versions or repeated versions of repeated versions... the new 1942s, the 1890s, the... will it ever end... hopefully not... long live Sufu!

@AlientoyWorkmachine Kapital looking good... not sure I've seen that version before... how are you finding it?

I thought it was the same denim too Shred

If you can make that happen, you'd be a Hiro

@calvinasincalvin I had a look in my files for sizing but no joy... you might (stress on the might) find some if you page through this thread. IIRC they're sanforized (?) and do shrink a little but much less than non sanforized. You have to wash them at some point (presumably) so you could try cold to begin with and then edge up the temperature based on how much more you need to shrink them. Good luck and keep us posted!

Nodding with @chicote on the jeans measurements... also the jacket dress length is 65 which is too long for me (not sure why they go 'modern' on jackets)... not that I was in the market, but if I was...

@Broark must say they caught my eye too... they look pretty robust?

^ great action shots!! More sedate here today... Ooe x 2 (just washed Bandanna Almanac, Railroad jacket) / McCoys / Converse

Just washed these Ooe x Bandanna Almanac Before After - not much difference to colour

TCB / Buaisou / Canes / Buckweat / Rototo and IH belt with Duke buckle (not visible)

... like horizontal posts 😫

@shredwin_206 upside down for a change mate?

It's the way to go @Broark We then all get to live vicariously on 'What my jeans did today' which can be your daily Japan trip blog!

@Broark chill, read some books, do some travelling... and enjoy a time of reduced pressure mate... such times can be fleeting!
