That's kind of you! I believe I maybe think my quads are bigger than they are haha

[holio cornolio]

^ so I remeasured. 2 days after a hot wash. Thigh, measured from crotch seam, parallel with waist band is 12" dead.

here are fit pics of my 50s type 2. Love the jacket, the 38 fits perfectly and the denim is amazing (all shots with iPhone)

[volvo240thebest]

perfect fit!

[unders]

Awesome. Good shout not to size up in the end. Are you turning back the sleeves or does the arm length work for you?

[nycsurfer530]

nope, the sleeve length is perfect for me so no cuffing 

[holio cornolio]

Looks great.

Looks like Inoue san has some sample photos on the blog, mostly of the chambray. But here's the denim version!

think the denim one looks way cooler than the chambray.

also featured a new prototype of carpenter jeans, super loose fit!

I think the sizing chart is due in short time. Inoue just asked me some sizing questions for my size (42 inch chest).

[Broark]

I agree, I like the denim option a lot more too.

The chambray is nice though.

gotta love that crispy crunchy new denim feel!

I've just washed my jacket for the 6th (I believe) time. I'll post a few pics over the weekend.

[holio cornolio]

Thinking of having another inch of length taken out of mine (fnar fnar). But maybe a 60 degree wash first to make sure all the shrink is gone.

Looking forward to those pics Volvo.

Have to say though my 50s jacket has had a very soft handle from the word go. Was never really crispy

Ps like the avatar. Is he haddock in Italian too?

now that would be a pity to hem that lovely bit of roping. definitely go for a 60 degree wash first. even a semi boil wash...

yeah the jacket wasn't very stiff from the get go but I remember it looked very crunchy!

and yes, Capitano Haddock!

^ no I meant an inch of length out of the jacket. Would make the bottom button seem wierdly placed. But the soak I did when I got my jacket was at 40 degrees so I think there could be more shrinkage in mine yet.

[volvo240thebest]

I see...I would live with that if I were you.

the bottom of the jacket it's all chainstitched, it will cost you a fortune to shorten it properly.

And the last bottom button will look weirdly placed as you point out.

just fold inwards the jacket when you want to wear it fully closed.

ladies and gentlemen we have the sizing chart for the TCB ranchman denim shirt!

 

now let's start two pages of sizing ranting and questions and doubts!

I'll go 42. should anyone need a 46, let me know.

hold on might go for a 40!

next week Inoue will tell us about the final price. He's now designing the special label!

I guess the shirt is sanforized and there's no shrinking to be expected, but I've just asked to be 100% sure.

[volvo240thebest]

me: is it sanforized? no shrinking to be expected?

Inoue: Please rest assured because it is numerically after washing

 

[tigerstrom]

Yeah! I think im going with a 38 but I have to measure all my shirts at home to be sure!! But I think that if it won´t shrink a 38 is perfect! 

[volvo240thebest]

grand, Please rest assured it won't shrink haha!

[tigerstrom]

haha! 

[Cucoo]

 

That's an... interesting size chart. Chest and shoulders mean I could pull of a 34, whaaat? Those are cm, right?

[tigerstrom]

I´ve looked at the measurments on my Stevenson Buck Jones Western Shirt (size L, fits like a M) and compared them to the tcbchart. Size 38 have nearly identical numbers as my Stevenson. I think the measurments looks ok! 

[bradl]

Ffs cm measurements! I don't seem to understand that chest measurement. A 38 has a 22" chest? Does that not seem abnormally large, or did I miscalculate something?

This is going to be a regularly stocked item note I am assuming? Might have to wait as sinking $600 into new boots then good ever much this shirt is may not be do able. But wet shall see...

Based on the measurements I'll go with a 36. I wear 36 in the foreman vest and 38 in the Type II.

Volvo can you ask Inoue San for one or two fit pics now or when the shirt is ready to release?

[holio cornolio]

Ffs cm measurements.....

c'mon now, we've all seen this right?

Depends on how tight you like your clothes to fit. My chest is 47", and I like a button down shirt to measure 50 to 51".
