TCB

[blooming]

I recently picked up a pair of the newer 50s Slim T. They are my second pair of TCB's, my other being the 60s. The 50s denim is really nice and the cut is really nice, more of a relaxed tapered cut with a mid-low rise. I'll grab some photos soon.

I've got a pair with a couple months wear in already. Nice jeans, I'd say mid rise and the taper isn't a strong one. 

I might buy a second pair and put them away for a later date 

[blooming]

Yeah, the taper is really mild, which is a huge plus for me. I only say mid-low rise for how it fits on me, I have really high hips and long legs

First pair of TCB's with the 50s denim, the 50s Slim T. Pretty much zero break-in period and they are comfortable from the first wear. I was stuck between Full Count 1103 or these. Chose the TCBs because the fit looked a little cleaner with the mid-rise and a little more trim through the thighs. They seem like a very "adult" slim taper and look great with my chelsea boots or sneakers. I went with size 31, same as my TCB 60s. Pretty similar top-block measurements aside from the rise and maybe slightly slimmer thighs on these.

Hi everyone! My jacket was returned home with disappointing results. Some frayed parts were reinforced, but the essential "sleeves" and "elbows" were not repaired. If you use a patch cloth to repair the elbow, it will be thicker, so it seems that you can't do it with the sewing machine at tcb.

What's with the stitching on the collar?

i think it is their "finishing touch",  intentional uncut excessive thread ends.

That’s disappointing! Can you find another way to repair the jacket?

[Geeman]

Looks a nice jacket but that would annoy me!

Exciting to see this jacket in the world! I registered just to ask: how did you do on your fit? I thought the garment would be beautiful but hard to wear, but Taichi is very cool in the picture below. I love the combination of the very short length + very generous drop shoulder.

thank you. I need to find a shop that will fix it on its own. So far, there is one shop where the light of hope can be seen.

Short body length and drop shoulders look cool and fit very well, the sleeves are too long, i have to cuff them.

Hey guys! New here, first post. Wanted to share my 50s that I've been wearing since October 2021. 33 washes, buncha repairs. They're at the stage where the thighs and knees seem to disintegrate more with every wash which doesn't bother me because I love patching them up. Thanks for lookin. 

[Hopethisoneisnttaken]

That’s one hell of an entrance. Welcome!

[chicote]

Nice repairs, those are amazing! I love the 50s fabric.

[blooming]

Amazing @rbeck! I love how the 50s denim ages. In my slim 50s as I type this, still got a ways to go.

[rbeck]

Thanks guys! I love that these jeans look like I pulled them from a pile of clothes at an estate sale or something. The cut is perfect too. Will probably get another pair of 50s in the future but right now I'm working on a pair of Left Field Smokestacks. 

[chicote]

Did anyone on the forum end up getting a pair of the Good Luck jeans? I am really intrigued by them, but also really broke & hoping to live vicariously through someone else who’s had a chance to wear them in a bit… plus, maybe I could be talked into selling some other pairs to fund one if it really seems worth it 

[xchen]

Good luck!

Has anyone pre-ordered the new run of Baker Pants? 

[Hopethisoneisnttaken]

@chicote I felt exactly the same with previous release of victors voice capsule haha. 

[AlientoyWorkmachine]

@chicote I thought they looked great, but I’ve already got some stuff that’s more out there, and in the end I don’t wear it as much and I didn’t need another pair like that. I tell myself I’m not a collector just a wearer. I think if I were a collector I would have gone for it.

Yes, and I received them about 2 weeks ago. I ordered a size small based on measurements, but they seem to fit quite a bit smaller in the waist than the chart indicates. Debating selling them off or just seeing if they will stretch.

[buler]

@blooming, what does the waist measure?

I'll grab that in a sec, but the chart showed 76cm, which is my usual waist size, especially for a high rise. I haven't gained any weight (in fact, down a few pounds), so they have to measure at least an inch or two smaller.

[buler]

Thanks. I'll never see that waist size again.

Haven't worn these 20s in a long time... too hot in the UK atm hence trying lighter weight jeans

The hem is from TCB factory... I like how the roping has developed (hindsight says a shorter leg length would've been better)

Update on my Baker Pants- they did in fact stretch in the hips/waist and are snug but comfy now.

@blooming, fit pics? Please.
