TCB Ranchman shirt group order thread

[tigerstrom]

Looking good Iron Horse! I expect mine to arrive today! I'm a little bit nervous about the size but I think it will work!

[nizzel55]

Same here. I think that down sizing was a bad thing to do. Time will tell.

[Iron Horse]

fit looks great to me even untucked

 

It's hard to tell in the photo, but the bottom button hits at the top of my belt buckle; all the shirt has to do is ride up a little and everyone will get an eyeful of my rock-hard abs.

[volvo240thebest]

hahah! just wear a tshirt underneath!

Or just live with the fact you have a perfect six pack and there's nothing wrong to show it! this shirt might become a pussy magnet for you I tell you my friend!

I'll clarify: by rock-hard abs I actually mean hairy, soft belly.

[volvo240thebest]

I guess my poor English came in the way this time haha.

I thought abs was for abdominals

It is, it was a joke. 

[Maynard Friedman]

I thought he was talking about his Air Bag System, which comes into effect if the shirt rides up too far!

[volvo240thebest]

^ then also mine was a joke!

[heavydoom]

guys, is this shirt fairly priced compared to other brands out there that make a similar shirt?

[bradl]

IH if that had one more button at the bottom it would be perfect... Wonder if you asked nicely if he would send one for you to add on.

yeah fairly reasonable for what it is, about 125 Eur IIRC.

[Cucoo]

Really interested in seeing all your guys fit pics and sizing info come in - my Levi's chambray western, one of the true basics of my wardrobe, developed a nasty hole so I'm in the market for a chambray shirt all of the sudden

Welp... got mine in. Dope shirt, but there must've been a communication because it's just the standard length, not shorter like I asked. Also, it's too small anyway, particularly in the forearm and cuff region which is a problem I've never had.

 

I'd say if you sized down you're definitely screwed...

Except for me? 

[itsbenhere]

Did you get a size 38? Judging from your height/weight I'd say you were a medium anyway...

[bradl]

You going to be able to exchange it??

6 feet 165lbs wearing a size 38

feel like if I wanted to wear this shirt by itself all of the time I would take a 40 for a more comfortable/relaxed fit, but it's a good size for wearing with jackets/vests

agree with Ben on the tightness of the forearm and wrist region. I pretty much have girl size wrists and it still feels kind of tight

Yeah, I got a 38; I was going off of Flat Head shirts and others from Japan, in which I pretty much always take a 40.

 

I'll echo that the wrists are tight, but they don't bother me too much.

This shirt is not in my hand at this moment, hope that I can try on as early as possible.

Looks fine by itself, to me!

Ordered a 38, too.

Anybody checked if the chest actually measures 112/56cm?

[itsbenhere]

Since the length was standard and not modified like I asked, I'm hoping I can return it... Pretty sure the shirt just won't work up for me. Even if the length was perfect, the wrists and forearms are still too tight. The sleeves are tolerable but already a big longer than I usually like, a size up would make them much too long.

Usually I think of a size 38 as generally equating to a medium and a 40 equating to a large. A 40 in Flat Head is the biggest exception, that's the equivalent of a smaller medium. Surprised you take a 40 in other shirts, for instance a 38 in any Sugar Cane stuff is pretty big on me.

 

I'll rephrase... if you're a true large and sized down to a 38 for this shirt you're screwed!

 

Foxy, mine measures 21.25". All other measurements are accurate...

Yeah, I guess FH is a bit different; don't have any Sugar Cane long-sleeve shirts yet, but I wear the SC Type II in a 40, as the 38 felt tiny on me. Long-sleeve shirts are all over, but I have medium for my Cat's Paw (Toyo) flannels, but a large in my Pherrow's chambray, and now a 38 for TCB.

 

Every T-shirt from Japan besides FH, I can wear a medium just fine.  

 

Anyway, this TCB shirt fits "just" as they would say in Japan.

21.25" - 54cm would be borderline, any additional shrinkage and it won't work.

Let's see once my shirts arrive over here in Moscow...

[tigerstrom]

I just got my shirt and it fits good! A lot smaller chest measurment than the chart. My size 38 measure 106cm in chest. I'm happy with the fit but I hope there's no more shrinkage haha.

[nizzel55]

I got mine as well. I just need to pick it up at the post office. I think it will be to small. But I hope I am wrong. Will post some pictures this evening.

[volvo240thebest]

so after seeing the first euro guys receiving the parcel I couldn't resist and checked the tracking. looks like my shirt left Osaka on nov 30th and then there is no more notification. fuckin hell!

I'd still be safe if the p2p is a smidgen smaller than chart but seriously worried about the forearm thing as I have big arms and like to wear the sleeves rolled up hope it will work out as I want!

Yikes! That's smaller than the 36 measurement that was provided - I wonder if Inoue posted the pre one-wash measurements. Anyway I tend to wear my shirts unbuttoned with a tee underneath so chest shouldn't be a huge issue, just as long as I don't look like some trendy indie guy that wears everything two sizes too small.

[Broark]

Looks like mine should arrive today, we'll see if it gets here before I leave for work or not...

Fingers crossed it isn't too small, I'm a little worried now!

The measurements on the official TCB store do look a good deal more "normal" than the chart that was provided to Volvo back then, too.

 

I really have to say the shirt needs another button on the bottom, looks a bit weird when untucked... just IMO of course
