Happy Jeans - Tcb 20s contest thread


Recommended Posts

done, my [Vi]King :D

you have a second chance to post at least one fucking picture of a vintage Volvo in Goteborg for 18months. You didn't succeed in the TCB50s contest, I guess you can make it this time. Come on a wee bit of swedish steel scouting for uncle Volvo....

of all the tcb unsanforized denims the 20s is certainly the stretchy-est. Although I have handled it only as a jacket so I don't really have a more precise idea of how much it will actually stretch as a jean. I can ask though, send me a pm with exactly what you want to know and I'll ask Inoue.

Haha! There's too many arcs in Goteborg that steal my attention. (But I do have a special plan for this contest.)

There's a nice lemon yellow Volvo 240 that's sometimes parked down the road from me here in Sydney—I keep forgetting to grab a pic

tasty colour indeed, that might be what Volvo called "cumberland yellow" available only til early 80s, one of my favourite colours and ultra rare around here.... either that or the "soft yellow" produced from 1981 onwards til 1986 hahaha, less rare but truly beautiful nonetheless.

Pic of arcs deliciously adorned by a female Swedish butt with a pre 1980's yellow volvo in the background and you win

A slight tangent from the preceding comments: but I've gotta say that this funky little back pocket stitch that Inoue has reproduced is among my favorite details.

{On a Swedish automobiling note: my silver 1983 Saab 900s (the "Slaab") came runner-up to my friend's '84 Volvo 240DL for "ugliest car" in our high school class yearbook back in 1997--a proud moment for sure}.

I'll join in, not really for the contest but because no arcs is what has been keeping me from getting a pair of TCB - I'm vain like that ;) I also don't have a wider "regular" pair right now, and I need a new comfy one.

I'll go with W30, no suspender buttons please, 82cm inseam when fully shrunk (this should give enough length to do a big double cuff, a look I like best with wider jeans).

Sooooooo....

 

How much stretch is there in the waist? Think I'm between a 32/33 as I've miraculously gained weight, although I don't see it sitting anywhere :D

Funds are real tight, but I am thinking of the 20s for a long time now!

Hey Constantin i expect the 20s denim to have some stretch but I wouldn't suggest to size down. As with all other tcb jeans these will shrink a bit under tts and then stretch to tts, to not mention that the inner part of the outer suspender buttons will torture your hips if you wear the jeans tight! It would be a shame if you get the jeans without the suspenders buttons cause I think you have the stature to rock the braces look well!

Here's another bit of Google translate farce regarding the stretch factor of the 20s denim. I can't figure out what Inoue means with this. If someone could translate please let me know!
