TCB: happy jeans contest

[aho]

Sugar Mountain, I'll clarify with Hajime on this! Most Japanese brands I know measure the circumference around the waist band if they don't do it BiG style but I'll check to make sure. He's currently on the sewing machine so I'll have to get back to you!

 

To answer the question on if they'll be sent raw or one wash, you'll be able to choose either.

 

There are a ton of other developments that I'm working on which are very exciting for the contest; I hope to share the information with you all soon!

 

As far as participating, of course the more you post, the better your chances of winning but no one is holding you to be active if you don't want to be. There will always be those who buy the jeans and don't end up posting about them, but it's a free world, do what you gotta do! I for one am in it to win it, and will be using instagram regularly for updates. #tcbcontest  WOOT!

Mate, you can find that info in the first post, in the first 6 lines of text. Don't be so lazy.

Thanks ! I read it for many many times . just want to be sure the size (W27) could be made for this contest

[aho]

No worries, Inoue-san just confirmed that size 27 is indeed available!

 

Regarding the waist measurements, he also said that it's done BiG style but honestly your mileage may vary. Best thing to do is buy true to waist size!

[tchengaa]

thanks for the info! so is the size chart showing the post soak measurements? thanks ~

[aho]

Yup! The chart is post soak!

[tchengaa]

thanks aho!

You got it! So far we have about 20 contestants (4ish on the fence?) but I want to give it another week or so before solidifying the list. I think we can get 30+, and once I reveal a few more details, I believe even more will want to jump on board...
In the meantime, if you're mulling over buying a pair, consider this is a pair at 10 months:

 

 

 

Thanks to all who've shown interest so far, I'll update the list soon!

[Max Power]

That pair is awesome! I wish you guys all the best and will follow closely. (makes no sense to join, with two other contests I should commit to instead of buying a new pair  )

[Maynard Friedman]

^^ That pic reminds me of some photos of faded Warehouse 1000XX denim I've seen.

[redragon]

Nothing wrong with having triple affairs max

Think i will also be watching from the sideline, will be a great contest for sure!

[Bobbo]

Fuck it, let's do this. Some contestcheating is probably healthy.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Just as the other guys, I will just watch from the outside but follow closely. And hoping for nice activity!

[Broark]

My only concern / reason I'm on the fence is the cut, the hem is a little on the bigger side of things for my liking.

But maybe I can embrace it! Who knows.

[Bobbo]

^ I get that. Felt the same way before I got my SDA. I got them for a nice change of pace and ended up a converted man: looser cuts are awsome.

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

Since SF got the layout issue of web page, I'm away for a longtime.

I just saw this exciting thread and TCB contenst is finally coming true.

 

I'm in a contest with my TCB 60's at present and I really cannot ask for more from these jeans. I'm happy  

 

Guys just jump in, you won't be disappointed with this lovely price jeans. Just buy your normal true waist size.

[tchengaa]

wide jeans are more masculine ~

[volvo240thebest]

I know what you mean, it was the same for me here. It looks like looser hem widths are somewhat of an acquired taste, like all the best things in a man's life (cigars, turfey whisky's, dark chocolate, marmite! etc etc)!

once you get used they're great, though the wide legth doens't work with every pair of shoe. so you might need to buy the TCB's and then update your boot game as well!

[themaster]

you will wear the jeans when you guus hear about the prize And price!

[gratefulmelon]

I'm in! Looking forward to a lighter weight denim for the southern summer ahead.

good to see you back mate 

[501XX4EVER]

I would have said that Warehouse and Denime made the best "Levi's", but now that I've seen these TCB's, I'm not so sure. They really do capture the vibe perfectly. Very tempted.

[jyoni]

Yup! The chart is post soak!

 

Doh didn't spot that.  Well, that's actually pretty awesome in the bigger sizes.  Don't want to mention other brands but that's on par with a certain *ahem* mid-rise pioneered by a fit I do love.  Not too bad, setterman.

 

I'll have to think on this.  I have other stuff going on including some lower rise, which I actually like just as much as mid to full rise.  Low rise is really odd to wear again though.

12" is minimum front rise for me, but 12.5" to 13" is preferred (that's where my 551ZXX and 0105 are at).  Looking at a full inch less than I'd like on the size 36.

[SLAB]

unfortunate that only the 50's cut is possible; denim looks very tempting though...

[somatoform]

Has anyone googled quite a few images of TCB jeans in general and found that they seem to have too much fabric going on around the fly area faded and new?

 

Been admiring and tempted by these jeans for quite a few months now but that excess folding of material around the fly area has held me off. Is it just me or is it the way they are worn or what?

[rayw44]

Setterman the rise may be meausred without including the waistband. That may account for the apparent inch difference, but that is also just a guess.
