TCB: happy jeans contest

[volvo240thebest]

well, it might be useful, and for sure it would be interesting to see, but generally speakingTCB it's dead on TTS after soak. 

so all you need is measure your waist with a tape and size accordingly.

[themaster]

ok good news people haime agreed to make a special size 35 for us.

Interested in seeing the patch. 

[Broark]

Damn, I really am interested. I just dunno about the hem size!

[Happy Hooligan]

I might just have to do this one.   When do you need to know as the last date?   Let me read over everything again as a possible contestant...  

[aho]

Happy Hooligan, no rush but sometime this week or next is best! Still in R&D for the patch...

 

Broark (and anyone iffy about a looser cut), get them tapered!

(What I can't stop worrying about is cheating on my Fullcount and Canes for this contest    )

[garden gnomes in space]

wide cuts for the win.  all relaxed everything.

[volvo240thebest]

FWIW here's my specs, size 36/inseam lenght 32 inches post soak

[Bobbo]

Holy hell, that's not a bad prize. Soon there'll be two TCB-tuxedos on the forum (unless Volvo wins).
 

Man up boys and join the crusade so we can get this started.
 

[tchengaa]

i only care about the waist size

[KrunkyB1]

About the patch ... the patch with 2 cats that hajime uses on Tcb50 Jacket is pretty nice.

Tcb likes cats then why not a patch with cats ?

[Sugar Mountain]

I went back to Gold Yard last night to try on the TCB again*. Perhaps it was the incredibly cute girl in the Fullcount type I helping me to try them on, but I left convinced that with a bit of effort the tagged 30 can work for me and be relatively slim for a cut of this style. I don't want a lot of hip flare and wide thighs if I can help it.

 

So, count me in for the contest. This should be fun!

 

(*For the record, I don't advocate trying jeans in-store and buying elsewhere but this is an exceptional case!)

[themaster]

awesome!

new type III jacket by TCB

http://happyjeans.jp/tcb/2014/05/15/6046

this is probably made out of the same fabric used for the 60's jeans. Another top choice for the contest winner ahah!

[edmond]

woohoo this is awesome! back from the dead bitches

[Flash]

, nice one mate 

[aho]

That recent pair is like looking into the future of how I know mine will turn out lol...Can't wait to get these jeans everyone! We're looking at an August 1st start date due to construction and shipping to be safe, hope ya'll dont mind the few extra days? Working from my phone/dead computer right now so please bear with me!

Sugar Mountain, so glad to have you! Staff at Workware is cool too (same owners), can't wait to go back in June! Let's drink!

Edited May 15, 2014 by aho

[Sugar Mountain]

I'm more than happy with starting a month later. Means I can hit the 9 month mark on my Fullcount and not feel as guilty!

 

Aho - definitely up for drink. Would be amazing to get Ed in town at the same time, no? Funny thing is that I've yet to go to Workware but there seem to be a couple of interesting shops opening up with denim alternatives to those carried in Take5. Hide and Seek in Causeway Bay carries UES and Burgus Plus among others and Gold Yard is a mere stone's throw from my apartment for Fullcount and TCB goods.

[garden gnomes in space]

with an august 1 start, im gonna have a two week old daughter shitting and barfing on my jeans, but im looking forward nonetheless to get started.
