hello everybody! some time ago while discussing on the TCB thread it came out the idea of asking Inoue San @ TCB jeans to make us a denim western shirt. I've asked Inoue and he was very happy to accept our request. the shirt will get into producion very soon, so now it's time to gather all of our definitive confirmations. the first batch that Inoue will make will have limited numbers. I don't know if the shirt will be available again (I think so) but not soon, so if you like to reserve one for yourself now it's the time! here's some quick blurb on the shirt. DESIGN The Ranchman is a replica of a Levi's western shirt design from the late 40's here's the original original label FABRIC the Ranchman it's available either in raw sanforized denim or in chambray denim version chambray version LABEL FIT PICS SIZING CHART all in cm, no further shrinking to be expected ALTERATIONS Inoue San kindly agreed on modify the sleeve lenght if anyone need longer sleeves. please if you need this alteration give your exact sleeve lenght as well as your size in your confirmation post.
