Orslow just released their own 66 repro, simply called ”66”. Looks really good from fit pics online.

Love the fit on both the 505s and the 50s.

@Alec Leamas I would describe the 505 as a really neutral fit. It is straight with a touch of taper (like many "straight" fits from fashion brands these days which rarely are completely straight from the knee down like mid-century 501s), it also has a pretty high rise where the denim tapers in towards the waistband giving the fit a vintage vibe. The back pockets are placed fairly high which is quite flattering too imo. Neither wide nor straight I would describe them simply as a good standard jean, which is probably why its not as popular among repro heads.

Vintage Gats, Resolute 710s and an old embroidered Agnes b. t shirt.

@beautiful_FrEaK Thanks! Good to know, I've been wanting to try the 224 when my SC 66 wears out. I'll order the regular 224 then since I prefer the slightly wider leg.

@Maynard Friedman It's probably the new one, since I got it 2 years ago. Sorry to hear you were not happy with it, personally I love it and use it all the time. It's an XL and has very similar dimensions to a regular modern size M sweatshirt from Nike. Perhaps I'm more into thinner fabrics, the Camber hoodies I have lying around are sadly way to thick for me. Edit: now that I look at it, the v-stitch at the neck on mine is done with a different fabric so maybe our versions are different?

What is the difference between the 224 and the 224-66? Different denim but same fit?

@Ciabatta Don’t think so, maybe the tiniest bit. Washed mine a lot and would say it’s about the same size. They are undersized however, I’m usually a medium but in the Buzz I’m an xl.

Agreed. My Buzz Rickson sweatshirt is my first high quality sweatshirt and unlike my old Champions and Nikes it only gets softer and better with time.

@HGS Sweet fades. Makes me wonder if the TCB 50s is the best bang-for-your-buck overall standard repro jean out there? Pattern is spot on and the fabric is lovely.

@AlientoyWorkmachine Amazing pictures, really cool that you took these and honestly I prefer this over an image of a shuttle loom. Imo not only are they cool from a denim-nerd standpoint but they are also good pictures in their own right.

Nice that’s a cool shirt

@1fookntitefd My father is the same size as you, he wears Sugar Cane 2009 and achieves more of a slim straight silhouette. It is more straight from the knee down compared to the 710 I believe.

At the denim market I went to today I managed to snag these almost new 710s for a great price, I've always wanted to give the 710 another honest try so it felt right to pick them up. The inseam is slightly shorter than what I'm used to but that's the Resolute style I suppose? First impressions are really good, love the lightness and fuzzyness of the denim and they are not quite as slim as I expected the 710 to be. A little bit of Hayashi-style for those who like that!

Today Second Sunrise here in Stockholm hosted their third annual denim market, this year was very special though because Hajime and Ryo from TCB had flown over from Japan and had a little pop-up inside the store. It was just a great honor to meet both of them and have a little chat, such cool and kind guys with a true passion for denim. Hajime was even kind enough to sign my 505s. So thanks to both Second Sunrise and TCB for making it possible for us denim nerds to meet some of the people behind one of the best denim brands right now, it was truly amazing!

Those "Wolsros" remind me of those backwards jeans by Dolce Gabbana that Liam Gallagher used to wear, I want to say that I hate them but I actually think they're kinda fun. Also, is that a Buzz Rickson's parka he's wearing?

The stores in Sweden that sell japanese denim like Second Sunrise, Meadow and Göteborg Manufaktur all charge very fair prices for the jeans imo, I'd gladly buy from them too to keep them in business. I believe I paid just over €200 each for my TCB and Sugar Cane jeans from Second Sunrise, hemming included, which is very fair imo. I remember the outcry when an old generational family-owned candy/fruit-store in my area had to close due to financial reasons, but yet I never saw anyone actually buy from them when they were still around. So I think it's pretty simple, if you want a business to remain: support them. But we are all pretty good at this on this forum probably, buying from small (mainly Japanese) clothing brands instead of fast fashion chains.

Incredible, this is just how I want my jeans to look.

I messaged Ryo abt a year ago on Instagram and they said that sadly they were not interested in doing an 80s redline repro. It’s a mystery to me though why almost no brands repro this model, only the LVC version comes to mind.

@AlientoyWorkmachine If TCB did a 90s 501 cut I would wear nothing else. That cut is so easy to size up and down and they still look good no matter what.

@CharlieMike The SC66 is a good pair of jeans I can recommend them, the top block and thighs however are quite roomy in comparison with the legs that taper slightly. I get the feeling comparing the measurements with real 60s pairs that the hem is slightly smaller in comparison with the top block/thighs. Also important to note as @beautiful_FrEaK said this is not a ”66” repro but a late 60s aka ”BigE” repro.

I think it's about time that we start a proper thread for Superstitch Paris, a brand and denim store created by french denim enthusiast Arthur Leclerq. Superstitch already has a great lineup of products such as the LR01, a 66 single repro, and the LR11, a type II jacket. However, we have been teased that there is a 50s XX model coming soon which will probably make more people inclined to try the brand hence why I'm starting this thread.
