TCB: happy jeans contest

[garden gnomes in space]

hi all i cant seem to give full advice because i dont know how most of you will pre soak/wash/ hang dry/ dryer the jeans when you get them. so i cant really say. but depends i would get a size 35 cause i wanna size up And im gonna wAsh often so there. im gonna hot soak and hang dry twice.

would you say a standard hot wash hang dry would get the jeans to the tagged size?

One thing I need to confirm:

 

The RAW waist measurement between 50's and 60's with the same tag size, are the measurements same of different?

 

If they are the same measurement, they should be shrunk from the tag size not shrunk to the tag size. Cause I believe TCB jeans is not vanity size. So they will shrunk and stretch back to the tag size.

I think I might do a 34 instead of a 35.  The one wash TCB chart is more in line with the fit I want.  Ed's size chart seems to be the results of a wash and dry, and I never dry in the dryer so...

 

 

fuck it, ill stick with the 35.

based on the charts on page 1, they shrink to tagged size.

I don't believe that raw measurement when I first saw it or maybe it's been taken in another way than usual. The waist measurement is way too big.

And the after wash measurement on the official website is reasonable. I'm wearing TCB 60's, they do shrunk from tag size and stretch back to the tag size as most of my jeans always do.

[meschan]

i'm really confused as to which size should i get now

 

could we get a updated size chart or rather which size chart to look at? it seems there are 3, 2 on the 1st page and 1 posted by aho.

hi i actually tried on a pair of raw size 36, and i can tug in most of my fist into the waist, so i think 36 is my choice.

[Sugar Mountain]

Tchengaa - you and I are at least fortunate enough to be able to try these on in advance!

[setterman]

Fuck, all these sizing questions, it's like LVC 47s!

[edmond]

its easy look at my measurements in one wash aho posted check your bearest waist or thigh size get that fuckin pair. i suggest dont wait for it to stretch out.

[Maynard Friedman]

Fuck, all these sizing questions, it's like LVC 47s!

PM Paul T - he'll sort it out!

[volvo240thebest]

yeah once again these will fit true to waist after some wear. piece of cake!

[Paul T]

PM Paul T - he'll sort it out!

So.. what are people who take a 34 in LVC 47 and a 32 in LVC 55 doing?

[meschan]

ok ill go with 30 instead of 31 then ed, can't seem to PM you, thanks.

[fre-co]

I think I am going to back out. Close study of Ed's chart.... I don't think I'll get on with them

[ColdsnapBryan]

I can't wait until this thread is filled with pictures.

[erk]

So I measure just under 34 inches where my jeans usually fit. 

 

Am I crazy to order a 34.8in (88.6cm) Raw? 

 

edit: I plan on hot soaking/hand washing - no dryer.

if you need long hem hajime will make you a long hem dont worry about the hem

[edmond]

mechan copy that

[edmond]

erk go with a 35 i suggest

[erk]

Seriously? I'm just a little concerned about that. I've been burned by a 35 before. 

 

I own a 34 sugar cane 47 and they're too big. by a lot. 

erk go with a 35 i suggest

[edmond]

guys who needs longer inseam no problem! hajime will make it longer for youeven if your 8 foot tall. jusy check the waist size

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

i'm just thinking that whether hajime can produce one or two pairs from now on for the contestant who confirmed full payment and their size, then sending to them. Let them wash and try on, give other contestant actual experience and confidence to choose their size. Maybe this will clarify everything.

 

I am willing to help others.

I believe you'll be fine with 34 if you don't plan to machine wash often.

if these 50's are anything like the 60's I have (and I believe so, as the ratio in sizing is the same) they will stretch to waist size after a  week of wear. I am 36 waist and I have a 36w pair. I did hold on washes for three months and at the end those were loose. now I machine wash at 40°C every two weeks and every time they are tight to start with but then adapt nicely to my waist.  that's the best fit for me as I can wear the jeans with or without a belt.

W35 would probably be a good choice for you if you'd like to wash often.

[ah_long]

still trying to figure out whether to go TTS Raw size or 1 up..

 

does the waist stretch back out to the raw state?

[volvo240thebest]

hajime general advice is measure your waist where jeans sit and and size accordingly (eg if your waist measures 36 go with a w36 raw). you could size up 1 if you wish a looser fit and if you plan to wash often.

I have both a tcb 50's jacket and a tcb 60's jeans and both were very faithful to the post soak measurements on tcb website after a week or so of wear. right after soak both were slighty smaller.

I believed twice to hajime's website sizechart and I received two of the best fitting garments I have in my closet, so I'm going to rely on his measurements again on these 50's.

 

look forward to the contest stepping to the next level, pairs delivered to the contestants and end of this endless sizing jive!
