They really bling with my iron hearts

not wearing my denim.. but with my trusty wallet from tanner goods.

First soak in Luke warm water!

75+ days wear. Medium fades and don't want to wait for it to get too sharp. Can't wait to see how it's going to turn out.

For got how good they feel. Decided the Denimio coupon will go towards another pair of these, fuck it!

how can i get my hands on a denimio coupon?

My 0306v after approx. 45 days of actual wear. And a non intentional rinse in a New York City Flash Flood last Friday..! Progress coming along nicely. Plenty of indigo left. Happy mondays!

OMG YOU BEATED ME TO IT!!!

not sure if you've bought a pair already. But i recently purchased a pair of momotaro 0306-v and love the tapering on these. They're 15.7 Oz and the denim quality feels amazing. After 15-ish of wear you can notice fades on your back pocket & around the knee crease. I think without going too lightweight, at 15.7 Oz you should be able to get through most summer! (my take is... it's not like this will be the only pair of pants you would own!? you'll have shorts for extremely hot days right?) 

hope this helps. but since i'm larger around the waistline, I think my next pair would be the high taper instead of the tight taper for a more relaxed taper. Anyways, if you want a nice noticable tapering to pair with dress boots, momotaro's tight tapered cut worked for me!

Double denim saturday 

TCB50s jacket 

white t shirt from uniqlo

iron heart 301s

Just got my 50s ow jacket from Denimio (exchanged 40 for 42)

better fit than the 40 size and very happy with the TCB quality. Slightly tight (close to just right) on the arms & shoulders. And I'm sure this jacket will loosen up after a few wears! For me, buying this jacket through Denimio was an enjoyable shopping experience. They helped me with the return shipping label and responded promptly to my questions

That's way too long </ed>

Long body and sleeves just seem to be TCB's thing by now  Denim looks great from the pic.

i dont mind the length & for the sleeves you can just roll them up!

way too tight too [/ED]

tight on the arms & biceps area right?

QUESTION:

Will Chinos stretch around the waist line? 

the next question is... does it shrink an inch back after cold wash air dry?

Fair enough!

I guess an excessive amount of "wax on wax off" is the cause of your mega byceps!

The TCB fabric stretches a bit, but truth be told it's hard to tell how uncomfortable it feels to you, dear Miyagi San.

I hope the arms width of a size up will make a difference for you in case you size up.

 

Cap'tn Haddock, i can button myself up but my biceps are squashed and i had a vision that the jacket will fail around my arm pit in 5 days.

i can accept anything else, but not arm pit blow outs

My rule of thumb is, that a fit that is not right from the start rarely becomes a fit you love later. They might eventually stretch a bit, but if you can get away with a size bigger that solves your problems I would do that.

 

I used to prefer raw, but these days I think it's better to have certainty of the final size, plus I prefer the feel and look of onewashed denim.

Thanks man, i'm in the process of getting an exchange!

Help guys! Just got my TCB 50s jacket. all the length, sleeve, shoulder checks out. but it's a bit tight on my arms & biceps (true story. bro.)

should I size up? Or should I just wear it until it stretches? These are one washed... 

Into the badlands, miyagi sensei approves.
