any idea if they stretch a bit in the waist? i’m not wearing them yet because i need them hemmed, but the waist is pretty snug. 

[Ar_thor]

Given that the denim is very lightweight they'll stretch a bunch. Mine were tight in the beginning as well but they quickly turned comfy as hell.

Hi everyone, new here, freshly registered for the tcb contest

I'm an happy owner of a TCB 50'S. Thanks to @Collin who have introduced me to the brand

I followed his advice and made it hemmed directly by TCB, perfect length and what a beautiful ropping effect !

Some pics of the denim over the time, I wear a size 34

[Qube]

Thanks !

Exactly, same sizing for the S40S

[volvo240thebest]

[Graytrain]

@Qube Dude I love the fit. Makes me want to size up the S40s. Love the wallabees too.

The perfect summer pants, great to see more people picking it up. Wearing my pair pretty much all the time now.

[Qube]

@volvo240thebest thank you man !

@Graytrain I really love the fit of my 50's, so would be great to achieve the same kind of look on the S40S.

 

[SLAB]

great fit @Qube !

[Qube]

Thanks @SLAB !

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?!

Expand  

@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. 

[Maynard Friedman]

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. 

[Maynard Friedman]

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.

[roomtemplacroix]

anybody have anything to say about the daisy mae hat / photos to share? kinda want one but not entirely sure how to pull it off.

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.
