TCB

[volvo240thebest]

you probably are 80 kg rather than 180 kg's ahaha! I apreciate your efforts in converting from stones/lbs to kilos though!

size 42 same as the jacket, fits parfait, but I am 178cm tall and 88 kilos, so slighty bigger than you. you could probably fit a 40 for a snug fit, 38 would be too slim I think.

you got a bad case of TCB acquisition syndrome I see!

^^ I really like those measurements for the 505 in a size 34

[volvo240thebest]

^ I knew you would like it! regular wide-ish thighs and a taper sounds perfect for your build.

I am sort of horrified by the ratio between the thigh and that taper (still liking wounds after the epic mis-sizing of the UES 400T!) but I'll get these 505 nonetheless, for TCB fanboy-ism and also because i sense these won't fit the same as the UES even if they have something in common measurements-wise.

I'll hold til the end of the 50's contest though!

What size would you take?

Size 34 in the UES would have worked for you I think

[volvo240thebest]

definitely size 36 TTS here, same as 60's and 50's, sure it'll work. could probably even size down and try to stretch the hell out of it but won't.

[tigerstrom]

I've ordered the 505s last week and will get them tomorrow or Thursday! I hope I sized right

[volvo240thebest]

look forward to your first hand impressions and pics!

[tigerstrom]

Yeah I'll keep you updated!

i just love how hajime can hem something for you if you ask him or make something special order for anyone who asks.  mad props to mr. inoue!!!  i have always supported the underdogs, the smaller labels, always have and always will. 

 

i have worn the seamen jumper for a week now and it's such a lovely jacket.  to me it's like a light chore coat.  i got two other chore coats but they are lined and not too great for the spring but this seamen jumper is perfection!!!!  i feel so at ease when i am in this jumper.  as i have said before, slowly but surely i will get the 60 jeans.  next year hopefully the pre shrunk jeans. 

 

 

 

for your denim heads, have you heard of this denim photographer named cory piehowicz?  you guys are going to love his blog.  there are some great photos of jeans and some great fades and a lot of dust too!  beware of the high cuffs!

I went to the post office in my lunchbreak and collected my 505s! They are exactly what I wanted! The waist on my size 32 measure exactly 32 or 80cm. I will give you all measurements when I come home from work!

here's the google translation, it confirms I do have a good beard characteristic.

 

In Italy of musicians known as VOLVO
Also planning of the organizers to wear RANCHMAN all over the world gave me in charge.
50's to be updated from time to time such from him
In the past also I wrote it features volvo peculiar beard
As a result of thought and why whether this beard comes in, we are convinced by watching his live video.
Unique step when you play a musical instrument
Perhaps, this step is whether not'm given rise to beard ....
In this open-air live you can see that me to wear the 60's.

[Cucoo]

You should send him some locks of your beard some time, might blow his mind

[tigerstrom]

[tigerstrom]

Here's a fitpic! Sorry for the quality, I will take better pictures later this week!

[Flash]

mate those look perfect 

[Bobbo]

Aye, Flash is right, they look real good and will be killer once they've settled with some wear and washes.

[volvo240thebest]

superb fit tiger!

[tigerstrom]

Thanks guys! I really like them and I think they will look even better with some more wear!

[aho]

Perfect! Thanks for the measurements, the almost 3 inch difference in front and back rise gives me confidence that I can wear these comfortably! 

[holio cornolio]

Yep. Great fit tiger. You will love these jeans. Mine are getting better and better!

Edit: I'm an idiot. I don't have the 505 I have the 60s. I'm sure you will love the 505 as much as I love my 60s! Doh

Looking forward to some daylight fit pics but yeah, what I can see looks great so far!

 

And please add some detail pics

[tigerstrom]

Here is some more pictures on the 505s!

Here is a comparison between the denim on the 60s jacket and the 505s.

[volvo240thebest]

denim looks very nice. If I got it correctly it's made with the same cotton used for your jacket as well. is it the photo or it looks lighter in colour compared to the 60's denim?

Edited November 19, 2015 by volvo240thebest

[tigerstrom]

Yeah it's really nice! The denim is lighter in color compared to the 60s denim but they have a lot similarities!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The color of the denim reminds me a lot of Resolute'S 71ß0 and Denime's 20th Anniversary pair

[heavydoom]

tcb needs to do something with a blanket lining.

[cmo]

Liking the look and price of the 505's... Just apprehensive in case they look too baggy in a size 34.. I need more fit pics to convince me!!
