selvedge and unfinished seam check… (little vs large…)

more tcb 1890s vs lvc 1870s… (lighter blue is the lvc)

and some comparison pix to the lvc 1870s tux… (a last hurrah from cone, a 9oz fabric … haven’t worn jeans much yet still) back pocket size and stitching…

many thanks @Alec Leamas: not unhappy with the fit, finish and weight (feels nicely chunkier than expected)… not doing comp this time: want to wear these for a longer time uncompetitively… done some measuring as i know in previous comps there had been variance irl vs chart… re; jeans; rise is accurate: as expected thigh is wider from the chart’s number: or maybe i am measuring different? re; jacket: numbers match up; many tcb jackets have tubular character (58 p2p vs 63/4 length on my sz48 s40s iirc) whilst this may be longer than some but keeps a boxy proportion: thumbs up! tcb 1890s no.2 jeans w.38 w: 47.5 laid flat fr: 31 br: just shy of 44 thigh: 34 hem: 24.5 (at 80cm inseam point) jacket sz 46 shoulder: 60 p2p: 64 length: 64 sleeve: 56 armpit: 28 wrist opening: 11.5

greetings lovely people ma 1890s tux fit for reference… (jacket size 46, jeans w.38, hemmed to 80cm inseam…) just got ‘em so no experience or analysis just yet…

pinch punch first day of the month… good luck out there ppl tcb no.2 x2

i dont think the no.2 will be a country mile off those tho: i predict there will be balloooning, saggy back rise: maybe more subtle twist than such a phat str8 leg… imma telling myself to trust the pattern cutters and the process… (plus i came to repro vintage cuts from the late 90s, specifically into lvc 1870s models and it was a natural transition) @super-thermite: very nice fit indeed! nice with loafers! suspender buttons aren’t that intrusive in practice in my experience…

yes please!

nyuk-nyuk: yes to the daicock @cheapmuthafukr!!! yes yes yes 4verar to @Graytrain cool collections... and for discussions on authenticity; evis/u made/make great jeans but it must be remembered that yamane-san is true/supreme hype man as much as crafts-man... and yes, as per the thread; I still pledge allegiance: I still love evisu very very much!

german surplus flecktarn gore tex ish, filson, post o’alls, tender, timbos (matching with @Geeman), with mini-phonics in baby levis tux; type 3 and late 90s stf 501: check my janky sashiko…

thanks for the vote of confidence @julian-wolf! Jared's advice above is pretty much how I wear my post overalls vest that has the nearest dimensions (but is a lightweight material); they go weirdly well with cut off military cargos / shorts (or oversized Nigel Cabourn) and logo t-shirt more than 'heritage' / 'rugged' stylistic agenda... This upcoming Ooe offering is fairly heavy material? The downwards bellow of the style is pretty equivalent to a chore coat but without the balance of the sleeves and collar: it has to be balanced by something else... The half-moon pockets are absolutely design grail for me, but is not something that pairs easy with a Canadian tux... am currently looking over recent-ish filson vests (80s/90s) too; has the half-moon on one side, with less bounce at the bottom, and pockets for days... but these def. lean away from elegance into something more blocky and very much pointing to external wear, not desk warrior... also quite a fan of this one from Soundman...

overloading the already stretched tan quota of the page... 50s jc higgins - orslow - tcb - russells

an ooe tux flex of such caliber can never be called sedate; oh the bandanna... long may he flutter

understanding very much discussions above; good luck with the socialisation; takes a village to raise the child... (or via Lev Vgotsky; it is through others we becomes ourselves...) 1960s finnish army surplus (m62) / lvc 1870s / pecos

comp or not, I have made my tux order: 46 jacket, 38w jeans (requested hemming to 80cm) cons: I need another jeans like holes in heads I need another jacket like a hole in wallet these jeans are not standard easy wear; slim-ish cut, yet thin material yes; one back pocket, no belt loop for keys etc. ultimate sloppy man baby diaper look pros; nostalgieeee: for those wanting 1990s jeans; this late 1800s models is reference from which Levis late 1990s twisted jeans was running (maybe more y2k refrance, but hey...) nostalgieeeeeeee 2: these were first model I got from lvc back in the late 90s; seeing as I run a trio of tcb, tender, lvc; wanna wee what tcb do with this original pair to build from having multiple lvc examples love of the meta; yes; no.2 as brand positioning... the first two Viktor's voice jackets don't look right (inc. lucky jeans): this is getting there more imo; mostly also tcb is obviously developing its own specific jacket pattern methodology of wide shoulders and sloppy fits: the numbers on this look squarer, even if not 'classic'... pockets looks excellent; both back pocket on jeans and front pocket on jacket yes to the styling in the shoot; not miner cosplay; more skatecore and sloppy old 'uns style: I appreciate that (definitely recommend not skating in any jeans with suspender buttons; had some nasty sk8 face-plants when wearing such jeans: they are placed to puncture skin in painful bony areas...); feeling this is a track suit more than anything... want to see how the fabric ages; every tcb pair I've had has been a journey; even the 10oz bib overalls have a lot to give: I expect these will be giving a lot given the status play of making an 1890s from an original; not had natural indigo from them b4 huge plus: ultimate sloppy man baby diaper look; goes well with pecos and converse... experience: said this in all comp. threads; every tcb jean I have owned has shrunk to tagged waist size; more ppl have dropped out from jeans being too small rather than too big... wearing big on these across time also allows layering needed in winter... yes; 31cm front rise seems small, but is in line with the last cone 1870s lvc offering (picture uploaded here is said w.36 l.34 pair - from raw soaked - line dried, not machine washed ) - the back rise is the core matter... can definitely understand hesitancy in uptake for a comp. - its not classic 5 pocket jawns, jacket has particular character; but it is what it is... a marmite model...

sun studies of 125 achilles heel overdye… fluffy fuzzy multiblue cosmos… hats off to professor (or is it mad scientist?) @rodeo bill - this fabric is top tier

very interesting! black buttons we hope! wonder how different they’ll be to the viktor’s voice one from a while back?

i’ll take ‘em… if they’re still available… (is 100 the price?)

looking amazing @scooby!!!!

quick 132 post wash denim check…

i’d be down for a 30s… but also something with a higher rise… and 18 months minimum… just washed my contest s40s; were hard to start with but now preferred over my 20s and 50s…

yaaaas! looking well and good sirrah! nice trail shoes and flower combo!

to clarify: as mentioned in waywt thread; 132 is from raw, 125 ‘achilles’ overdye; both start from very different places and i think the overdyed pair may have room to expand yet ie expecting a little more stretch in the 125 fr, ma thic butt has already done its work on the br… the measurements here; https://www.shopneighbour.com/products/tender-mens-125-high-straight-jeans-16oz-selvage-denim-x-achilles-heel are pretty accurate to what came through the post… and yes @julian-wolf your summary is pretty spot on: 125 is slimmer in seat and hips, but not awkwardly so… the 132 pretty much hangs on by the belt… different strokes…

plus as @julian-wolf was asking difference in 125 vs 132 here they are together (both sz 5, 125 the unfaded one) to get a sense of the different cut / pattern… one big difference other than thigh-knee-hem is back pocket size…

just posting up some 132 pix… fit, fade, denim quality… worn from raw… not hugely washed…
