Typo?  Those look like ww2 details to me.

Beautiful wear! @diggers

[winteracr]

30s jean C after a year or so
worn a lot, the stitching is coming apart, they're very comfortable now
machine washed a lot, never flipped inside out, used bleach often
wanted to keep an even color as much as possible
the fit is great, this feels like the platonic ideal of "straight cut", whoever was complaining about the diaper butt was right, washing often helps that
i get a lot of compliments on these + they're very easy to style/wear, funny enough a lot of the obvious denimheads around me also don't tend to clock them as "specialty denim"

Brand spanking new pair of TCB s40

First time in about 20 yrs that I buy size 34! Delighted with fit and inseam length.

[volvo240thebest]

This is how the same cut in size 36 fits me now, together with TCB hat and seaman jacket. At the moment I can take them off without unbuttoning the fly, but they don't look too loose on photo..

Both of those fits look like they would work depending on the vibe.

Are you wearing them above your naval? Not a lot of rise shown in the photo, but I know how much rise there is on the 40s!

[volvo240thebest]

I love the high waist now that I lost my belly! The 34 sits just at the navel height, the 36 even a bit higher!
that make the whole silhouette look leaner and taller, but yeah I think that tucked in looks become a little too off. but I have other jeans for when I want to tuck in a shirt...

You look great Volvo! Nice to see you around.

Baggy 50s five months in, before first wash (after the one wash). 
My plan was to wait until the war ends to wash them, but my baby daughter had a peeing accident, and so to the washer they go (together with my dreams of having combs on a wide pair of jeans). 
 

I kept the sand in the picture because it came from the back pocket 😅

I like the look of the new US Army repro suit from TCB...

The US Army denim trousers in particular!

The black jacket has been calling my name

60s after a couple washes, color is pretty true in these

Hello. Looking for sizing advice for TCB's 30's jacket. I've got a size 48 in the TCB 50s which i like the fit of - A relaxed comfortable fit. Looking at the 30s measurements I think a size 46 seems comparable rather than going for a 48 again. Does that seem right? Normal I'm a large for Western brands.

A bit confused as I saw redcastheritage says the 30s fits more like a western brand ie stick with a large which is a big difference seeing as a 46 is XXXL :S

 

Edit

Ryo the legend confirmed a 46 would be appropriate for me. With the hot weather though i decided to shelve the jacket for now and get the tropical pants and catface Pullover Shirt. Hopefully will arrive next week 🐈

@PBTony The 30s fits a little bigger than the 50s, but I think it's almost intentional. If you're looking a similar fit to the 50s, def size down one. I don't own the 50s, but I've tried it on. I fit into a size 42 for a nice, trim fit in the 50s, and my size 42 30s jacket is a bit looser all over.

I gave my Seaman's jacket its 3rd wash. A couple of buttons broke last year so replaced them all with some 60s ish General Post Office buttons.

 

[PBTony]

Some TCB gear arrived. Tropical trousers and Catface Pullover Shirt.

The pants need a hem but they feel very light and airy. Don't think I've worn combat style pants since I was a teenager so the extra pockets will make a change. 

Love the shirt and again massive pockets. I probably should have gone down a size. Will give it a hot wash to see if it fits better. I hope 🙏 

Sun is pretty strong here today (for Scotland at least) so should dry pretty quick

Pullover looks great! Perfect for summer👍

[nopal]

Imo you shouldnt worry about the fit of the pullover. It looks good like that @PBTony

[Lorcan]

+1 that's pretty much how M-35 shirts are supposed to fit IMO

Looks great. Bet it'll be perfect after a wash. Also think it'd look great with shorts.

Ha I was wearing with some linen shorts yesterday. The wash has scrunched it up a bit and seems to be drapping better on me now. It still juts out at the front quite a bit but with some wear should settle. 

[MJF9]

@PBTony echoing the above... the fit looks spot on... it'd look odd (in my opinion) if it was all fitted and tailored, as that wasn't the original intention... I have an Orslow one that juts out too as they all do... in fact I'd swap mine for a size up to give even more relaxed look... sizing to embrace... enjoy!

This is my wife wearing her new Baggy 50s while the dog catches a spot.

[heyson]

these are the measurements for the one wash 50s. can anyone confirm that they actually run this small? I typically wear between 32-34 but with these i would need like a 38? seems odd

[julian-wolf]

They stretch quite a bit, but they do also run small. You’ll likely want 1–2 sizes above your standard size

I’m a 31 or 32 (I like a laid flat waist of 15.5-16”) in most brands or other TCB pairs, but I’m happy with a 33 in the 50s. The waist does stretch pretty easily though and my size 33 probably could stretch to 33” if needed

[shredwin_206]

@heyson yea pay attention to the charts. I hear they run really small

I'm a 33 in most Japanese brands I've tried (fullcount, Sugarcane, Denime) but tcb 50s I'm a 36 which fits perfectly. 34 would have been too tight

How are these doing @volvo240thebest? They looked awesome here.

I'm considering a pair at the moment - what has the rise and thigh ended up like on a 34 after some wash and wear??
