TCB Ranchman shirt group order thread

[goodrain]

Since Inoue-San is taking exchanges, just get a 38!

[heavydoom]

these type of shirts should look fitted in my opinion.  the shirt looks spot on on the the judas priest fan!

 

are there a lot of metal heads on this thread?  i grew up on metal early 80's onwards.

[Broark]

Jealous of all you guys who are getting shirts that fit!

[itsbenhere]

Anyone want my 38 chambray normal measurements? Inoue is being a bit slow on the replies...

[Foxy2]

been try to send back the shirts for swapping sizes - here's the story so far....

good thing I'm a patient man and there is no rush...

reordered a size 40 with shortened sleeves. Much more comfortable fit!

 

[nycsurfer530]

fits great!

[goodrain]

just looked at the inside of my shirt and it is a size 42, and I had ordered a 40. Guess I need another one, ugh.

 

If anyone wants a 42 with shortened sleeves I'll hook it up for a good price!

[Iron Horse]

Fit on that one looks right to me...

[itsbenhere]

Wish Inoue would get back to me so I could ship him back my shirt for a return...

 

Goodrain, did you like the shirt before you saw the size? If so, tagged size doesn't really matter... and you should tell him it's the wrong size, you shouldn't be left on the hook for that.

[goodrain]

I would email him again. Sometimes he misses an email here and there. I asked him for a tracking number a week ago and he didn't reply, but the shirt got to me anyways.

 

I did like the fit of the shirt, but the 18.5 inch shoulder and 23 inch chest is quite a big bigger than what I usually wear(17 to 18 inch shoulder, 20.5 to 21.5 chest).  Inoue-San will send me a 40 and I hope it will fit better.

[nycsurfer530]

^ honestly I would keep the 42 with the shortened sleeves. Measurements and tag size aside the shirt looks and fits great and you said yourself "it's a much more comfortable fit!" Regardless of what the tag size is, the shirt looks great

[unders]

Goodrain - the smile in your fit pic suggests you're happy with the 42. Looks like a keeper. Plus you can grow into gracefully, that's why I've sized up!

[bradl]

With your luck so far the 40 won't work either.

[goodrain]

Yea maybe... hope you are wrong!

[rayw44]

Finally got around to taking a fit pic. I ordered a 36 and I like the fit all around. The shirt is definitely slim fitting for me in this size, but I like the length and the fit on the shoulders so much that I wouldn't consider swapping and going up a size. I will have to just wear this unbuttoned if I gain any weight.

 

[volvo240thebest]

that's an absolutely perfect fit Ray, very flattering.

My return Ems parcel to TCB just arrived today so hopefully next week I'll have a properly fitting ranchman shirt too..

Shirts back the other day - sized up one...

The chambray works perfect now - the denim shirt is a little tighter...

The armholes are indeed high & tight - no problems for me, but I can see how this might initially irritate some.

The last front placket button is relatively high and an additional button might have been nice, especially for people with a longer top block. Overall, I think the resulting look when worn un-tucked works for me.

[volvo240thebest]

looks good on you mate.

I should receive my denim shirt next week hopefully, it left Japan a few days ago.

[unders]

My exchange landed a couple of days ago too. I went from my original 36 to a 40 (usual shirt size is 38) and this is exactly the fit I wanted. TCB marked the returned shirt as a sample so I didn't get stung on customs twice - happy days.

 

If anyone wants measurements let me know.

 

Cheers for organising Volvo, great bit of enabling!

 

 

 

 

[Broark]

New fits look good!

I never heard back from Inoue san about exchanging mine for a bigger size, so it's just been hanging in my closet.

Should I try reaching out to him again or is it too late?

[unders]

Cheers Broark.

He must have missed your email as he came back to me within a couple of days. Had it not been for the delay in the postage over New Year I reckon the whole exchange would have taken about 10 days so he was very quick to sort it.

I'd definitely get in touch with him again, I can't imagine it would be too late. From what I can tell majority of us have had to go back to him so he's probably expecting a few more to come through.

[Broark]

You're right unders, can't hurt to send another email.

Hopefully I can get a bigger size made because I like the denim a lot, very light. Perfect for summers here.

[goodrain]

Perfect fits, Foxy & Unders!

[Cucoo]

I don't know, I still think the oversized shoulders and the missing bottom button look kind of weird. Great if you guys enjoy it, but I for one am glad that I didn't get one

[volvo240thebest]

 

ranchman size 42 arrived!

works absolutely great for me. even the last button it's perfect, either tucked or not. it's a smidgen tight in the belly but I've gained a lot of weight as of late (almost 6 kilos in the last 4 months) so it will be a motivation to get slimmer. two kilos less and will be right, 4 kilos less it'll be absolutely perfect everywhere.

the way the top block is designed it's just perfect for my frame, it's just as body comforming as it could be!

[Cucoo]

Yeah fits you great, also I never noticed all those cassette tapes until now! So analog!

[volvo240thebest]

Part of my work is in a music booking agency which has been in the business for a long time, those are actually demo tapes from the late 80's early 90's. I have walls of cd demos in the other rooms, thank God now it's dropbox, soundcloud or whatever..
