TCB Ranchman shirt group order thread

[donutt69]

Picked up my shirt today.

Definitely should have picked a bigger size.

Hope those who are waiting will have better luck than me.

[Broark]

Also got mine, far too small unfortunately. The denim is really nice and lightweight and I love the snaps.

I could wear it over a t-shirt open but no way would it work on it's own. 

If anyone is looking to size up to a 44 without any alterations let me know. 

[nizzel55]

mine is also to small :/

should have gone with a 40.

Arm length however is fine.

[Foxy2]

I hope this doesn't turn into a bad disappointment for most of us...

6cm error on a 112cm circumfence is a full size! A short note 2 or 3 weeks ago would have been nice.

Sounds like I'm waiting for a miss sized shirt to arrive. Too bad about the chest measurements as we even double checked with the man, I wonder how it can differ so much.

[nizzel55]

It looks quite OK on the pictures but it is sadly to small.

It feels quite restricted when I move around and the body length on me is to short. I am having trouble tucking it. The sides can not be completely tucked. I get a small "hole" at each side.

And I do miss another button.

I would need almost 7cm in the body length I would say.

Arms are very slim. Especially around the armpits. I do not know the terms but the hole where the torso and arms are sewn together is very slim. A whider hole and wider arms would have made a big difference.

I understand now why most fit pictures Ive seen now have had bigger sizes on them.

Anyhow here are some quick pictures. I might sell/give this shirt to a colleague of mine who is a bit smaller then me.

I am 187cm and weight 80kg

I quickly measured the chest of my shirt and it's much closer to 45.5/46 in. compared to the 48 in. that I was expecting.

It's mostly tightest for me in the shoulders though...

I can happen if you don't communicate with the factory directly or if you don't make/check the pre-production sample...

(Or if you can't hold or read a measuring tape.)

Also, felled side seams have a different seam allowance compared to regular seams.

Shit, I wonder what happened. But I am glad I couldn't afford this, but feel for y'all

[volvo240thebest]

lads I am sorry for what's happening.

Ill let Inoue know that many of us are having troubles with the fit. Hope he will sort us out somehow.

it would help if someone who already received the shirt could send me (here or via pm) a comparison between the sizing chart measurements and actual measurements.

thanks

[goodrain]

 

this is the fit that I was hoping for. I asked Neil at Standard & Strange and he said

"I am 6 feet, 3 inches tall, weigh 185lbs, have a 39" chest and am wearing a size 42."

 

regarding when they will start carrying TCB he said

 

"We will be carrying TCB, however we're working Inoue-San on adjusting the fits [lower armholes, longer sleeves, larger chest on the shirts; longer in-seam, higher rise, more crotch drop on the bottoms]. Can't say when but early 2016 is my best guess."

[tigerstrom]

This is my measurements of my size 38 after a couple of hours of wear!

Shoulder 45cm

P2P 54cm

Sleeves 63cm

Length 72cm

Is a lot tighter than expected but I like it!

Adjusting shirt fits seems like a decent idea, but bottoms? Apart from longer inseam that seems like a strange idea. Dropped crotch 50s jeans??

Drop crotch jeans: just like what Brando wore!

[nizzel55]

My colleague also thought the body was to short on him. Sides of the shirt can not be tucked.

 

If anyone is interested in a 38 chambrey with modified sleeves to 65cm let me know.

hello lads I've been in touch re this little trouble w sizing with Inoue yesterday.

I told him that many of us are experiencing discrepancy between the sizing chart he provided with and final measurements.

Also told him that somebody might ask for a size exchange (I assume the new shipping costs will be on the side of the buyer here) and someone might ask for a return.

 

he replied me that he's sorry and understands. I hope he will sort us out nicely. If you're not happy with the fit beacause of an effective discrepancy between the sizing chart and the actual measurements please pm me. I'd work this way, I will anticipate to Inoue what went wrong and then each one of you will email him and see how he could arrange things.

 

my shirt is still not here.

@tiger: did u size the shirt the same as your 60's jacket or sized down?

I am a 42 bang on fit on both jkt and vest and went for a 40 here

[tigerstrom]

I have size 38 in both the jacket and the shirt. I really like the fit, but I'm sure that size 40 would have been good too for more relaxed fit.

[nizzel55]

I have now measured my size 38 ranchman.

 

chest: 54cm x2 (108cm)

length: 68

shoulder: 45

sleeve: 64,5

 

 

Only measurement that is correct is the shoulder measurement.

 

112

71

45

61 altered to 65,5

 

 

However, my biggest problem with this shirt is the length of it. It is to short. The "side" measurement from armpit to end of shirt following the seam down is to short. I can not tuck the sides into my jeans and I show to much of my belly when I move around. More then I am comfortable with. 

[goodrain]

Not sure if this make sense to yall but the way that this shirt is constructed, I cannot lay it flat and have both arm pits be visible. So, even though technically it is 112 cm pit to pit for my 38, the width of the chest with the shirt laying flat is 108cm. 

 

I am going to email Inoue to see how long it would take to make a size 40 with custom sleeve length and just sell this one or give it to my girl

If it measures 54 at the back and at the front how can it technically be 112?

 

Even if the back or front is bigger it is still the combined measurement that is the correct measurement.  

 

[goodrain]

Because I thought the chest measurement was supposed to be from pit to pit

[Offchops]

My size 40 ranchman arrived today, awesome shirt but unfortunately its a bit small. Hopefully returns are an option. If not, anyone that has a 42 and wants to size down, hit me up.

[Bobbo]

Sure is a bitch waiting for this shirt. Tracking says it's left customs but is stuck in retention...

 

Thanks for checking out our options Volvo. I'm sure this will all get sorted. 

[heavydoom]

western shirts are usually a tighter fit, no?  also, asian body types are not as huge as the european and north american counterparts.  some companies make smaller jackets for the asian market. 

[setterman]

Yikes! That's smaller than the 36 measurement that was provided - I wonder if Inoue posted the pre one-wash measurements. 

 

Was wondering about that when the initial measurements were posted, and if the shirts were going to shrink.  Good luck guys.  

[Iron Horse]

Do I get a Cracker Jack prize if I'm the only who who sized correctly in the end?

[goodrain]

if anyone wants to switch to or buy a size 38 in denim let me know

The thing is that everyone chose a size based on the first size chart that apparently WAS screwed up after all. As I said, checking the happy jeans webshop shows a new and totally different size chart with much more reasonable chest measurements for the posted sizes. Had I participated I'd have ended up with an ill-fitting shirt, too.

 

I really hope everyone gets sorted out in the end!

[goodrain]

actually the first chart that was provided is the same as the one in the webshop

tigerstrom is sound too apparently!
