Looking for sizing advice on the TCB 60s jacket. I'm 6'1", 175lbs, 40" chest. I was thinking a size 40? I don't know if these are unsanforized and I should size up to compensate.

[volvo240thebest]

I think you'd easily fit a 40.

You can double check directly with Hajime if you wish, just drop him a facebook message or an email.

the jackets are sold either one wash or raw, Hajime has both (at least for the 50's jkt, I guess it's the same for the 60's).

the meaurements in his shop are post wash

p2p 54.5cm

shoulder width 48.5cm

overall length 64cm

sleeve length 64cm

cuff width 13cm

Great, thanks so much! I'll prob spring for the raw jacket.

figured its about time for a full shot of my 50s jacket. I've had it since october and wear it daily and wash regularly.

 

First, a couple indoor shots

 

 

 

and now some outdoor shots

the 50's denim really ages beautifully. well done!

[Max Power]

Does anyone have a faded sample of the Type 3? I wish it came with the 50s denim, although the 60s look pretty authentic to the original. I'd just like to know how it fades and saw only pictures of the Type II.

[volvo240thebest]

here how it looks after a lot of washes

there are no samples of that jacket worn the way I've worn the type II (fewer washes)

here's a fit from one of TCB workers

Oh snap. It Looks great - can i justify another jacket?

[volvo240thebest]

sure you can! think it's a lot of value for the money if it helps haha!

you could even get it through denimio and save more.

[Max Power]

It's really tempting...

[Bobbo]

Do it!

Not sure wether a 42 will fit me. If the measurements are onewash yes. Still waiting for denimios reply.

[volvo240thebest]

sorry for accidental neg rep!

I am 178 cm x 90 kg circa and I would surely be a 42 on that jacket.

you're probably taller and slimmer than me. I hardly doubt the 42 would be too tight for you.

you could probably even squeeze on a 40.

measurements on TCB site are usually very accurate, and post wash

If they are post wash they'll be fine. I definitely need a 42, I have wide shoulders and am 1,87m x 84 Kg.

[tigerstrom]

I think you need a 42 as you say. I regret that I didn't get a size 40 instead of a 38. I'm 178cm 75-76kg

[volvo240thebest]

so Hajime finally found an original chinchback Levi's pair to copy:

soon TCB 20's!

[tigerstrom]

That's cool! ^

[nycsurfer530]

Perfect for another contest!

[holio cornolio]

Potentially in on these. Timing could be right for the replacement of my TCB 60s. How loose is a 20s cut??

[volvo240thebest]

too early to say. if these are going to be anything like fullcount 1922's not tremendously loose.

anyway it is really too early to know.

that original pair looks just glorious! I love that fatty selvedge id and I hope Hajime will reproduce it exactly.

never had a pair of jeans with exposed rivets I hope they won't ruin my unicorn leather Volvo seats!

[nycsurfer530]

details are perfect, I love how the stitching continues past the back pocket rivets and I have always wanted a cinch back.  My question is how will the fabric turn out? I know FullCounts 20s pair has wild cotton with an unbleached weft. I love how the wild cotton on my FCxSignets is turning out so i'm not opposed to another unbleached weft.

[volvo240thebest]

too early to know, but I'd say that original pair has a normal white weft so it will possibly be white weft.

[Bobbo]

Beautiful pair of jeans. I wonder how much cash Hajime had to fork out for a pair like that.

[volvo240thebest]

I sincerely hope for him that he had those jeans lent by a "private collection" or something like that.

they're sure worth some serious thousand of yen...

[Flash]

going by Marvins pricing your talking about 17000000 yen

[volvo240thebest]

17 milion yen? did I read correct? it's about 134K Eur, I hope you put one zero too much!
