TCB


Recommended Posts

looks great. I haven't bought one as I definitely like more the type 3. Really hope Hajime will come up with a boa/sherpa lined type 3 next year :ph34r:

Having been so impressed with the Cat Boy denim I picked up a jacket from American classics as they're out of stock in Japan. Turns out after a soak a 44 is too big for me. Lovely jacket though. 

Not sure what the rules are with regards to sales posts, but if anyone want to take it off my hands please give me a shout.

Are the measurements as the TCB website suggests?

No they weren't, it was a bit bigger. But since taking this photo I decided to machine wash. This is something that I swore I would never do since  I first got a pair of raw LVC nearly twenty years ago, washed them and the result wash a harsh fade from a fold in the machine running diagonally down the leg. I honestly don't know how anyone can wash raw denim in the machine when it is always a gamble that this would happen.

Anyway, in this instance it has worked without ruining the jacket and it has now shrunk to much closer to the measurements TCB give on their site and so I think I'm gonna keep it now. Sorry CSL. It would have been an expensive trade for me having purchased from American Classics, but only able to sell o at less than the direct from TCB price.

Some machines are way harsher than others—it’s no gamble if you know your jeans are gonna come out looking fine

^ Lee, why don't you use punctuation in your posts? It would make them so much easier to read :biggrin:

I stopped trying a long time ago—much easier to just scroll on past

No worries. Glad the jacket has worked out for you. About washing, on our machine you can wash gentle cycle, no spin. It doesn't leave any crease marks. I think all older machines were rough on clothes.

Do you have any interest in a pair of 50s in size 36? I bought them a while back on sale from Tempo. In the meantime after wearing the 40s I've decided the 50s are a bit low waisted for my taste. They are new, just worn for half an hour sitting on the sofa.

Also throwing this out there. If anyone has a pair of 40s in waist 36 that they'd like to trade let me know. They'd need to be a longish inseam. I'd also consider other trades. Don't know if shipping would make out of country trade impractical. I'm in the US.

^Or a lined chore coat of sorts. Way more versatile for fall and winter with the pockets and all ;)

Yes!  Chore coats are extremely practical, but not warm.  A warm one would be a nice addition.

I've thought about the Tabby's jacket.  Nice layout, but a fairly short and boxy design, true?

Quite boxy but not that short. I love mine. It is indeed not warm, but has room to layer underneath.

I have blanket lined Carhartt with biswing back for “real” chores and it’s exceptionally warm.

I'm falling out of love with workwear lately, leaning back to ivy but the tabby in charcoal is definitely still on the wishlist

does anyone have a somewhat awkward second button on their 50s jacket? all my other buttons do up perfectly, except the second button down is really strained and pulls significantly. i've noticed this is super common in various TCB fit pics too, although it's just isolated to that second button...

Second from top? Not so much an issue with the button placement or hole size, but in general I'd say the chest is not as roomy as it could be for the sizing (a 40 in my case). I wear mine generally open as an overshirt over a T or light oxford/madras, but when I do button it, normally just the 3/4 buttons because I can't be bothered to do up any more. My problem (well, not really a problem, more of an observation) is that the waist circumference could be larger, or the length could be shorter. I'm pretty slim but if I fasten the last button the waist rides up and bunches out, probably because it's a couple of inches longer than a vintage Type 2.
