TCB

[Collin]

@Cold Summer I might be interested, shoot me a PM with your measurements and how you washed it. Shipping would be to Europe tho.

Edit: nevermind, I checked the measurements on their websites and sleeves are going to be way too long for me, I would need 59-62 centimeters... Bummer !

Help guys! Just got my TCB 50s jacket. all the length, sleeve, shoulder checks out. but it's a bit tight on my arms & biceps (true story. bro.)

should I size up? Or should I just wear it until it stretches? These are one washed... 

[propellerbeanie]

Given the option, do you guys usually choose the one-wash or raw version when it comes to jackets?

My rule of thumb is, that a fit that is not right from the start rarely becomes a fit you love later. They might eventually stretch a bit, but if you can get away with a size bigger that solves your problems I would do that.

I used to prefer raw, but these days I think it's better to have certainty of the final size, plus I prefer the feel and look of onewashed denim.

Thanks man, i'm in the process of getting an exchange!

The TCB fabric stretches a bit, but truth be told it's hard to tell how uncomfortable it feels to you, dear Miyagi San.

I hope the arms width of a size up will make a difference for you in case you size up.

 

[propellerbeanie]

@Max Power That's very true. I think I'll order the one-wash version of the '30s jacket instead of nuking it in the washing machine/dryer.

Cap'tn Haddock, i can button myself up but my biceps are squashed and i had a vision that the jacket will fail around my arm pit in 5 days.

i can accept anything else, but not arm pit blow outs

[volvo240thebest]

Fair enough!

I guess an excessive amount of "wax on wax off" is the cause of your mega byceps!

[volvo240thebest]

meanwhile I've just discovered that my 30's jacket it's stuck at customs in Milan...

it was marked as a "sample" by Inoue's wife, and the customs get suspicious when they see this. I had to fill up a form now, it'll probably arrive here in a couple days but I won't be able to see it til mid week next week.

Good luck with that Volvo. I got spanked about £75 in customs charges when I got my TCB 20s... I still wince...

[cottonskinblues]

Can't wait to see these 30's Jackets!

[UkeNo]

I was originally convinced that the 30s Jacket was the model Inoue San was wearing with the central seam running down the back. 

This isn't the case....So what jacket is that? 

[Broark]

I think the 30's jacket only has a T back construction on the larger sizes, like vintage type I jackets.
Could be wrong though.

[volvo240thebest]

Yes that's the 30s. I believe vintage  Levi's had the split back panel construction for size 44 onwards, although tcb makes it from size 40. I'll post pics of my 42 once I'll receive it.

[UkeNo]

Thanks chaps.

Think I'm probably a 40 so might get this with the t back seam then.

Edit:. Or perhaps a 38 (damn it)

[propellerbeanie]

Eyyy, I ordered a size 40 and it should be arriving mid next week. I'll let you guys know about the back construction.

[edmond]

T starts at size 44 i think

[propellerbeanie]

The T-back starts at size 40 according to this Instagram post.

 

[nycsurfer530]

Ooo nice, that looks like further incentive for me to get a 40. Also I just got back from San Francisco. No TCB pics but wore them everyday I was out there. I'll add some photos later today. 

[cocksmoker]

Hi, here's my pair of 60's. 8 months of wear I think? At first I washed them every 2 weeks or so, nowadays maybe once a month.

[shoreman]

Hmm.You'd think those knee fades would be far more pronounced. 

[UkeNo]

^ Why is that?

You an expert in other people knees? 

[volvo240thebest]

nice work fella. curious choice of nickname, you must have a very fervid imagination...

Maybe he kills chickens?!

^ he likes to smoke joints made out of cremated chicken's ashes, I hope.

[Hendsch]

Apologies for the mirror selfie but these 60's are really starting to come into their own.

 

[shoreman]

Sorry if this has been addressed before but, can someone confirm the inseam measurement for the one wash 50s, please. Denimio shows 36.6" whereas the table Inoue sent me shows 33".
