Hey guys, I've got a size 31 one wash pair of TCB 50s for sale--unworn and hemmed to 80cm. You can check them out here: https://www.grailed.com/listings/15168592-tcb-jeans-tcb-jeans-50s-one-wash-size-31

And of course, they'd come with a SuFu discount! Just hit me up.

TCB 50s after two months

Haven't done much during these weird times except yard work and hiking so I have some great butt fades showing! Love these jeans so much, washed them every other week or so. Stoked to see how they continue to develop.

Interesting how Hajime went over how the steel rivets & pocket come together in the [wartime] sewing production line environment. One notable feature w/c was good to know was, there was no bartack reinforcement, w/c usually occur at the beginning of attaching the back pocket flap ... before rivets installation.

‘Got a question about the WW2 painted broken arcs.  I noticed variants in repro arc shapes & colors through the years.  Was there any particular [official] WW2 painted arcuate?!

@BrownMetallic I was thinking the same thing. Maybe @Paul T could help out. 

 

Paul, or others, what color did Levi's originally use for the painted arcs? Was it this brown gold thread color? I think I've even seen darker green.

Think about the whole rationing concept - I’d say use whatever colour you have and in the same spirit of the lottery pocket bags, even if not period correct, it will be on a moral and environmental level and will certainly capture the zeitgeist of the contest.

Well I recently painted my living room "Cotton Gray" so it sounds like some slightly off white arcs coming my way.

I assumed you used emulsion if you’re talking about your walls. I think you may need an acrylic paint for the arcs to prevent it from washing out.

Yes that's exactly what I'm talking about. It seems to stay quite well on denim as I have a pair of fullcount jeans with it all over them. Been through the wash since a handful of times and still there. I think I will give it a shot! Create a template for it, and do it. Worst case it washes out and I need to do it over with more appropriate paint.
