TCB

[Iron Horse]

Picked up some barely worn TCB 50s; the previous owner had a tailor take in the seat and thighs a bit, so they're kind of tighter than I would like there. I heard that eating chicken thighs can make mine thinner, will report back on that front.

That's a fine jeggins fit!

[goodrain]

that's almost like a preview of the slim 50's jeans!

[Iron Horse]

What can I say, the ladies like 'em slim. 

[alvin_cheong]

Nice fit Iron Horse, is that a pecos you are wearing?

[Iron Horse]

Thanks Alvin; yep, it's the Red Wing 8189.

Great fit, Iron Horse!

Not to go all Ed on you, but it would be interesting to see the backside where the tailoring has taken place too, see if it's noticeable. 

[Iron Horse]

It's OK, you can admit you just want to see the "arcs". 

[tigerstrom]

Great fit mate! 

[Maynard Friedman]

I like it IH.

@Iron Horse Great fit and killer boots, man! I'm also curious about how the alteration on the seat looks. I would like to have it done on a pair but it seems like it would be difficult to do well. 

[volvo240thebest]

haha, I still don't actually have a pair of TCB 20's BUT I've just succeeded to buy myself a job lot of 3 (three) used pairs of Lee 101 suspenders for a very modest price!

Ask and you shall receive; there's no diaper butt fit thanks to the alteration. I don't know which tailor did the work, but I could ask. Work seems flawless, but wearing a wallet is uncomfortable with these so I've been putting my money in my shoes. (Joking)

wow...dope.  The alteration seems prefect for your back. I must say is a prefect fit  on those 50's.

[unders]

This makes promising viewing for the slimmed down 50s. 

Cheers IH, great score. 

[mandel9000]

That looks very good, Iron Horse! Great tailoring.

[volvo240thebest]

Unfortunately (to me at least, and I know I am in a minority) it seems that the slim 50's will be way more tapered than this.

The tailoring looks really well done, wonder who did it. It seems that the tailor re opened the back yoke and re sew the whole thing. The stagger construction seems more pronounced compared to my og 50's pair. But maybe I'm wrong, it's hard to understand from a photo. If such is the case I guess you won't be getting the mad puckering thing we all know and love (haha)!

That's a score IH, as much as I like your SC47 fit I think those fit you even better.

[edmond]

Back pocket positions seems odd

[Iron Horse]

Yeah, one is higher than the other I think. Or I was clenching? 

[edmond]

you were definitely clenching. so but doesnt look soggy

[kicks79]

That tailoring job looks great.

first prototype of the 50's slim original cut

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.

I am still so excited about these. These are my new "pop into my head everytime I try to put on a pair of my pants" jeans. If I can get these and they fit me like this photo, that would be perfect

TCB 50's jacket is getting close to a year, so I thought I'd post some picks. I started wearing this jacket in Portland where the weather was more conducive to wearing it a ton but sadly I now live in Los Angeles so it gets less wear than it should. I've treated it to many washes and trips around the dryer and as most of you know this thing holds indigo like a champ, so the fading is rather subdued.

I guess I'll post these while I'm at it. 60's pants worn since October, countless washes/drys:

Forgive the iPhone pics, I can't find my memory card for my Fuji...

Shes beautiful! Thanks for posting these

Hey Sufu family. Just got a quick question on sizing for the TCB 20s. Is it true to size? For reference, I normally wear size 32 for WH800 and Resolute 710. I like more room in the waist since I have bigger legs. 

thanks in advance!

[nycsurfer530]

I'm wearing the world tour 20s as we speak in a size 32. They are slightly big and I'll go down to a 31 for the contest which is what I wear in 50s jeans as well as my WH800s

[Bobbo]

Speaking of 20's, it looks like I might be heading to Japan right around the contest start. Haven't planned out the route yet but a stop at the TCB workshop would be a great way to kick off the contest.

have finally washed my indigo carpenter pants and start wearing it, the fabric is hairly, soft and smooth
once u put on, u never want to take off, it's much more comfortable than the seamen's
it definitely will be my fav summer pants, will take fit pics when i have time!
