@radfad2000 Go for 32. This fabric is pretty stretch with wears. I had 31 50's one-washed once they were 30.5 and now almost 32 about 3 months wear. Slightly loose now.

I snagged a pair of 32 this morning.  Hopefully they get here quickly. 

 

These measurements frigthen me a tad as I would prefer a larger thigh, but it sounds like these will stretch and give.

@radfad2000 Here are measurements from my size 32 50's (washed and worn for about 6 months so this would be fully stretched out):

 

Waist: 16"

FR: 11.5"

BR: 16"

Thigh: 12"

Opening: 8.5"

 

Hope that helps. I def recommend ordering TTS.

Would it make sense for me to size up in the Seamen's jumper?

I'm 5'10 (178cm) and 180 lbs (82kg) and concerned that the 40 will be too slim for me in the chest. I can't button my size 40 50's jacket anymore because the chest is so tight now.

no don't do it! it's wide enough. I am at the moment exactly the same height and weight as you and I am floating in the 42, while the same size on the 50s jacket works well. Even Inouse wears a size down on the jumper.

Thanks Volvo, that's good input.

seamen's jumper is a loose fitting jacket.  do not get the 42.  get the 40 and if the 40 is still too loose you can always tumble dry it to shrink it further.

Hi guys. Have a pair of Warehouse 800 (pics below). they are size 31, worn about 20-30 times. they are still a bit snug in top block. 

want to get a pair of TCB 50s, and tried them in raw/non-washed at American Classics in london. they recommended i go for size 33. just a bit confused as WH 800 31 as well as FC 1108, although both a bit tight in upper block. i have tried to measure my waist as would like to buy TTS but cant seem to get a sensible waist measurement. any advice appreciated. for reference i'm 5'7 around 160lbs. doing cross fit these days so thighs getting a bit bigger

if i'm being honest with myself i dont wear the WH of FC to work, as i find my cheap 501s from last year more comfortable. so if the TCB a bit looser could be fine. just from 31 - 33 seems like a big jump and my size hasnt changed

Can someone remind me which model denim jacket has the T-back construction? 

I'm sure it was the 50's or 60's?! 

Am I right in remembering that it was only sizes 38 and above that had this feature? 

I'm sure there was a post by Inoue about this back when but I can't find it.

(I did search by the engine gave me results for everything that had a 't' in it which wasn't too helpful )

 

Thanks

[tigerstrom]

Is the 30s jacket  @UkeNo 

I don't remember exactly but I think the t-back construction starts at size 40.

Not sure on the 50s slim, but the 60s fade fast compared to FC! I love both very different!

[unionmade]

Anyone have fading photos of the black 50s? they use a black rope dye with white yarn, so fading pretty smiliar like a blue jean? E.g Sugar Cane type 3 use black on black so guess they will the black longer..?

[eeejayaich]

Coming along nicely. Just over a year of on and off wear.

my 50s in size 34, wash at 40 degrees and hang dry
after around 20 washes, the waist is now measured 81-83cm

First (?) proper update on my 30's jacket. Had it for about a year now or so. Maybe 2 washes, I think. 

bonus TCB 20's x-post from the contest thread:

 

[Maynard Friedman]

Jacket and jeans are looking great Bobbo, I’ve had my 30s jacket for almost a year too but only west it in the summer so have barely made a dent in it in comparison. It’s a fantastic jacket though - fabric, cut and details.

[Bobbo]

Thanks @Maynard Friedman! Yeah, I wear it for layering every now and then around the year. Definitely speeds things up a bit.

YASSSS!

[wavehead]

i was under the impression the 50s thighs in a sz33-34 were closer to 13” than 12”, but the previous page has someone posting a 12inch thigh for a sz34?? is this right? 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If you refer to the measurements on the last site, thayvwas a size 32. It also always depends on the way you measure. 

I think my size 34 raw has something like 13.5" raw thighs

[kbuzz]

Speaking of 50s- does anyone know if the denimo size chart is generally accurate ?   I need at least a 12 inch front rise in a 36 bit their chart shows well below that

ps

my goal is to find a high rise pair with a 32 inch waist 12 in FR, 16 BR and a 12.75-13in thigh.  

 

 

This is my eternal goal.  Find a slimmer straight cut with a FR of 12 or great at a 36 waist....lifters cuts don’t count on basis of being imbalanced imho lol 

[Fadlan]

@kbuzz don't rely on Denimio's size chart. You can ask their cs about the actual measurement. They are pretty accurate.

[unionmade]

sorry for double questioning; but anyone tried on the black 50s? how do they fade? 

[Bobbo]

Don't think I've seen any black 50's here on Sufu mate. Maybe check Instagram?

[unionmade]

Thanks Bobbo! Tried IG too but only found new ones. Not sure if your fellows at manufaktur sold them? But I think 50sblack maybe fade like old orange tab´s (550s). Turning out more grayish (and more like blue jeans) than black/black yarn. Guess I gotta jump on the wagon here then, since they seem to be FOB´s on sufu

Guess, I'm not meant to have nice things. The TCB 50'S just dont work for me. They are skin tight with some room in the waist. Have a size 32 hemmed to 32 in one wash from inoue. 

 

In the us.

On marketplace too.
