TCB

[nycsurfer530]

Pulled out my 50s jeans and forgot how much I love them. The 60s are just too tight in the hips and the rise doesn't feel as nice. Took a couple pics.

50s ftw!

[Rehnen1]

Looks awesome!

I got my TCB 60's! Love the low rise and excellent details of 60's Levi's.

With red tab, beautiful paper patch, nice shape of the back pockets.

Twisted red line! 

The 13oz fabric is very firm, after 2 soaks and 2 hot machine washes

Keep the red tab unfold, to protect it from damaging.

The lowrise cutting is comfortable, and the slim cut is easy to match any clothes.

Start wearing TCB 60's!

Sorry for the blur photo

the 60's has a fabulous cutting!

I like the fit of the 701

which model of tcb denim or other brand do i need as a male

so a little bit roomier in the top block and not so wide pipes 

[volvo240thebest]

I guess the closer fit between the tcb models would be the preshrunk jeans, although it's still quite different.

Had the denim itch lately, especially with the DWC coming up....decided on a pair of TCB 50's.  Really seems like an incredible value based on everything I've seen.  Looking forward to rocking them, will post pics ASAP.

Now that my 50's have arrived, I'm selling my 60's. Rise is just too low for me. 

$100 shipped within the US for board members.

@HGS enjoy, they're by far my favorite jeans! Bastards to fade but well worth it.

^^^^

agreed

50s = awesomeness

(but looking fwd to how volvo thrashes his 30s jacket)

[erockisalive]

@HGS  Same here. I've been lurking this thread for a long time and finally took the plunge on a pair of 60s. Should be arriving today!

Anyone know how much inseam shrink should I expect? I'm thinking of getting them hemmed before I soak because I'd really like some pronounced roping and have stupidly short legs. 

[volvo240thebest]

Why didn't you ask Inoue to hem them before sending the jeans? He can work out the maths and hem exactly at the desired post soak length. I think the shrink factor is something like 8% but you'd better ask him before making an expensive mistake...

[erockisalive]

I ordered them through Denimio and was nervous about hemming before I tried them on. Didn't realize emailing him directly was an option, but hey live and learn. 8% seems to line up Denimio's measurements. 

[HGS]

My jeans are en route to be delivered today.  From what I understand this denim lends itself well to machine washes and dries, and I'd like to be able to use the machine to wash & dry as I wear them.  Do you guys recommend a hot machine wash and machine dry to maximize initial shrinkage, instead of a soak/hang dry?  I would use cold wash/machine for any subsequent washes.  Any advice is appreciated!

I usually do 2 x 40 degree machine washes to get the shrinkage out of the way. It's gonna shrink down eventually any way.

[Inimitable N!]

Keep in mind, going too crazy with the hot water and hi-temp dry is going to turn your leather tag into "beef jerky"... pretty undesirable in my book 

[HGS]

Oh yeah, after initial shrinkage I would be washing cold and using low-temp machine dry.  I really just want to as much initial shrinkage as possible, so I can take advantage of the convenience of the machine and not end up with too much unexpected shrink down the road.

It seems like people in this thread  generally have an intense approach to shrinking this denim which is different from what I've done in the past to get shrink out (hot soaks, hang dries, etc) so I appreciate all your advice (and any others who want to chime in).

I think many people on here do not subscribe to babying their jeans via soaks and just want to treat them like any other durable items of clothing by washing them (albeit less frequently). If they're going to get a machine wash and therefore shrink at some stage, it may as well be upfront before they're worn.

[HGS]

That's basically what I was going for.  The machine is my friend but this would be my first time doing it at the beginning and you basically confirmed what I was planning. Thanks

[poonsc]

finally got the 20s and the newspaper bag from local store last weekend, washed twice in 40 degrees machine wash and finally dried yesterday
the denim is soft and rough after wash, didn't have any shrink and very easy to stretch out
also the rise feel much longer than the official measurement, very comply cut overall
only one concern is that the rivets at the back will soon wipe out my office chair, hope not getting complain from the HR.....

the denim seems different to the world tour jeans


the patch toast

the best summer jeans
we'd say hk don't have autumn these years, weather now is still humid but with (hot) wind sometimes, crowd areas are still freaking hot
it will start turning cold (talking about 18~22 degrees) in almost mid december 


having ramen for dinner, queued for 20mins and worth to wait

and here's my 50s for around 1 year wear, very tight on the top

LOL yeah, Taipei last year we had two seasons, summer and winter. 

[bartlebyyphonics]

great info alls

all facts lead to ma 20s contest oversize choice going to plopz

lookin fwd to delivery ed

[erockisalive]

Here's a couple of fit pics of my new 60s. Soaked 30 min or so in warm water and then put through speed wash and dried on medium heat. Might run them through the washer/dryer one more time, but I'm undecided. 

Overall I'm really liking them. Went with a 36 and have plenty of room throughout. Excited to see how they age! 

[Bobbo]

^^^^ The 20's denim is indeed different from the world tour jeans.

 

edit: Lol, should have quoted the post instead.

Thinking about purchasing the slim 50s. What’s the consensus on sizing? Size up? I wear 32 in Resolute just because of the thighs. Waist is looser. 

 

Thanks in advance

[Bobbo]

I thought the cut was a little weird. Tight over the hips with an oversized waist. I'd say hips and upper thigh is the crucial measurements. Since it's not a standard measurement, perhaps you can ask Inoue to give you some hip measurements if you provide him with a picture on how/where to measure it.

[Collin]

I wear a size 30 in the 50s and it's the perfect sizing. I went for 30 with the 50s slim but it's  too big in the waist. I tried the 29 and it was perfect but the thighs were too slim for my liking (lot of biking)... I don't mind wearing a belt

So go with the same size as the regular 50s or -1 if you have normal to slim thighs.
