TCB

[volvo240thebest]

on top of that bear in mind that Hajime is going to release a new cut called TCB 50's slim original which is basically a slimmer version of the 50's, same fabric and details, new fit. I don't know exactly when these will be launched but I can ask.

I looked on Denimio's site but they don't carry this model so you must have bought it from Inoue direct.  I'd give it some consideration for purchase but I'm unsure about the size.  It would be better for me if Denimio sold it so if it doesn't fit, I can return it.

I got mine locally at The Shop Vancouver. Look them up. They have a webstore and can certainly help you with any fitting info

This is what I'm workin with on the contest jeans. Maybe a 33 is the way to go.

Hey Erk, I have some raw 50s in size 32. If you can wait a day or so, I'll post the measurements for you.

yeah! Thanks man, that'd be awesome.

I bought the TCB 50s denim in size 31 through denimio in raw state. Back then they measured around 83cm in the waist. Right now after a 3/4 year of effective wear, with maybe 3 hot soaks and 5 washes so far, the waist is around 86cm. Please keep in mind that they use Zimbabwe cotton for the 50s denim, which is very popular for fast and a lot of stretching with wear.

By the way... These are the measurements given by denimio for size 31 in raw state.

waist flat:　83 cm
front rise: 30 cm
upper thigh width: 32.5 cm
inseam: 97 cm
hem: 22.5 cm

I think @nycsurfer530 gots a size 31 too. What about yours? Would appreciate some infos regarding your measurements!

Hi erk,

Raw TCB size 32 measurements, BiG style:

• waist - 34"
• front rise - 12.1"
• back rise - 16"
• thigh - 13.5"
• hem - 9.25"
• inseam - 39"

[erk]

Thanks Maynard. That's exactly what I was looking for.

I'm surprised you pair is 2" bigger than tag size. I was uder the impression all TCB jeans shrink from tag size. You learn something new every day

Waist: 16

Thigh: 12.5

Knee: 9.5

Hem: 8.75

FR: 11.5

BR: 16

Anyone know where to find the size tag on the Chore Jacket? Can't find it - ordered a size too big, going to have to exchange it. I'm 5'8/5'9 165-175lbs and I ordered a 42 to account for some layering but there is still much space even with my beefiest sweater. Length is fine and sleeves were a bit long but was planning on cuffing it anyways.

[goodrain]

check the left inside chest area. That is where the size is stamped for the denim shirt and foreman vest

[nycsurfer530]

Here we go with some fresh-out-of-the-dryer measurements Sz 31

Waist: 15

Thigh: 12

Knee: 9.25

Hem: 8.75

FR: 11.25

BR: 15.5

I'm curious to know what they do for returns and exchanges for people buying in Canada. Keep me posted. If its crazy expensive and not really feasible, let me know. We carry a bunch of the TCB stuff and I'm headed back to Japan in March and will see Inoue. might be able to help sort you out.

i think gold yard in hong kong stocks tcb clothing. 

[volvo240thebest]

tcb 50's caught in dad action. been wearing them most of past week. I forgot how great they are and how good it feels to wear a well faded pair!

 

 

 

 

 

[Bobbo]

Great dad action!

Wish I could wear my 50's. I've outfatted my pair.  

[JDelage]

Golden moments with kids that age... Take plenty of pics.

[volvo240thebest]

first prototype of the 50's slim original cut

more photos here:

http://happyjeans.jp/tcb/2017/02/22/14796

Inoue says he's quite happy with the prototype. I wait to see how it fits on a beefier guy, his model is too damn slim haha.

[volvo240thebest]

also news re tcb contest.

we will deffo start sept 1st.

deadline to confirm orders will be around jul 15th.

the 20's pair will feature a special patch and arcs! quite possibly a warehouse-esque solution (eg some extra arc to be scraped by the owner to obtain a proper arc).

still way too early to open a thread I think. I shall open it later on, maybe early may.

[Maynard Friedman]

Cheers volvo, those 'diet' 50s look like they are fairly low rise too.

Good news on that front, can you tell us if a price has been established yet?

[volvo240thebest]

Not yet but there will be a minimal mark up on the factory price.  It will still be quite cheap. The Signet store will kindly sponsor the contest and provide prizes.

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

Worth waiting for the 20's contest pair. Special patch and arcs! 'Ats nice!

[aho]

I will wait for the contest! 50's slim looks great for those looking for a slimmer fit, but indeed I fear that rise is way too low for me personally. Would like to see it sized up and hemmed short though, which is how I typically wear my jeans.

 

@volvo, also liking your SKX... ;D

[mrman]

Do you have the measurements on that prototype that could be compared to the plain vanilla 50s? Who's going to volunteer to model those on us beefy folks?
