TCB Ranchman shirt group order thread

[nizzel55]

He did not send me any tracking number last time

[tigerstrom]

I had to ask him for the tracking number when I ordered my jacket.

[Broark]

Thanks guys, I sent him a note to see if he has one. Might be better to not have it, so the jacket will just show up without me knowing!

[itsbenhere]

I was thinking that too. Easier to forget about it and be happy when it shows up than check the tracking every 5 seconds!

[Iron Horse]

Are these the '50s jeans? They look good.

 

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

^correct, 50's jeans

[Iron Horse]

Earmarking those as potential future jeans then.

 

I see he's also rocking the Tommy Chong look, too. 

[tigerstrom]

The Tommy Chong look is cool! Haha

[nizzel55]

Anyone heard anything from Inoue regarding the shirts?

[volvo240thebest]

yes me!

fresh news from the factory, all of our shirts included the custom alterations have been cut and sewn, now Inoue has only to install the Universal snaps on them and then they're ready to ship.

sorry lads I thought it should take less time. hope none of you is upset with having sent money in advance.

[Iron Horse]

Can't wait to get my mitts on the shirt.

[tigerstrom]

Yes! Good to hear that they soon are ready to ship!

[Iron Horse]

Another nice little update on the shirt; denim is 8.5 ounces, Californian cotton:

Can't wait for this, the label alone does it for me!

[Broark]

Inoue san had to make sure the label was up to par for this boss. 

[Bobbo]

I love his fascination for cats. When my not so denim crazy friends ask me about where I got my TCB gear I can't help but use the phrase "from a cat loving japanese dude". Sounds funny but I really think it adds value to a brand knowing some things of the creator's personality. Flat Head's Kobayashi-san or Iron Heart's Hiraki-san are other good examples.

My "Long Ear" is impatiently waiting...

a ranchman fit pic on a western body frame, this is a fucking relief to see lads. should I end up with anything similar to this fit I'll be a happy happy boy wearing the same shirt for half of the year.....

if I am not mistaken the guys are the owners of a California shop (Standard and Strange?), so it looks like Inoue had found a dealer for the USofA.

[davito]

Yessir the two gents are from Standard and Strange

Wow that's exactly the fit that I want! Glad to hear that TCB products will be carried by a store in the US.

[goodrain]

is it time for these to be shipped yet?

[volvo240thebest]

last time I've heard from Inoue (2 days ago) he told that he's still awaiting a dispatch of pearl snaps from Universal to complete our shirts.

I'll give him another gentle nudge at the beginning of next week.

here's a brochure from Inoue about the Ranchman, all written in Japanese for your fine understanding

let's have some fun together, here's the google translation from Japanese to English

 

The prepared to western shirt base of the 1940s
Detail is the time as it is , than the slightly vintage silhouette
It was refreshing , it is easy to match any style.

More ranchman fit pics. Damn, Japanese people are cool!

 

 

[Bobbo]

Might have to order the chambray version too if the fit is good. 

[nizzel55]

I am thinking the same thing. But the other way around

[itsbenhere]

Volvo, is the chambray selvedge?

[volvo240thebest]

I have to check but I'd be surprised if it isn't!
