Are we assuming that tcb got all of our notes regarding the hems and such? Or is there a need to check individually? 

Already committed but just finalized the order after some sizing decisions. Went for OW 33x34. 
 

excited to find out what they’ll be like

@bartlebyyphonics looks really cool! Seems like it needs to be super accurate with the hemming. 

I seriously don’t know how you guys keep your jeans for 5 years plus. Mine become unwearable sometime between 2 to 3 years(even when rotating, even with a lot of washing).

I'm in (from UK).

33 in 50s is perfect for me, but I'm a bit puzzled as to the model's sizing. By my reckoning a 183cm man who weighs 76kg is pretty skinny. And yet the page says he wears 34 OW and they're even a bit tight.

Anyone else find that a bit odd?

Different people have different built/muscle mass/bone width etc. weight and height can’t really reflect on sizing in my opinion. I am 184cm and I weigh 82 kg and will need size 33 according to the chart. 

I’m in, will just wait for tomorrow for some sizing answers. 
 

israel.  

Yes!!! And I too think the newspaper thing will be pretty cool! I might have a hard time getting my hands on a newspaper these days though haha

I am thinking something approximate to Aho: 38x30/29 or thereabouts... mini-cuff with boots, uncuffed with shoes...

Actually never tried a wide cut uncuffed. Does that work for you? Share a picture if you have one. 

If the initial inseam length is similar to the 20s I will definitely get them hemmed. For no cuff I need a 30” inseam. I do a quadruple cuff on the 20s. I’d get them hemmed but the tcb chainstitch is so beautiful I wouldn’t wanna ruin it. 

Damn the new linen shirt looks amazing!

Agree on the jacket! Japanese sizing follows different rules. I also find funny when I see the JP crew wearing the oversize jackets with the rolled up sleeves!

I find it funny as well but seems like the standard in Japan to wear it oversized because it’s workwear. I got my chore coat from tcb with the same recommendation from ryo(were the same top size) and I think I could’ve gone a size down. Oh well, maybe on the next one. I still like the chore coat a lot even though it’s a bit big.

Welcome aboard!

No one took that user name, and the 20s are grail worthy. Welcome!

Haha. Thank you both! 
 

I was just at a point of considering getting a second pair of the 20s or the catboy jeans. Seems like this contest will solve that problem.
