Happy Jeans - Tcb 20s contest thread

[Maynard Friedman]

It's very simple to change the inseam length but as far as I'm aware, increasing the rise will change the whole pattern for the top as it will require larger yoke panels too. I'm not aware of any non-bespoke manufacturer that provides a variable rise option.

[mrman]

I know and that's why it's not going to happen

[Foxy2]

front and back rise lengths are graded between sizes - some companies do offer different models of the same basic cut with shorter or longer rise, but they will always grade the rise between sizes (or size groups).

individual rise measurements will result in indivdual, customized patterns with additional pattern changes/adjustments (fly front length, back rise length, back joke adjustemts). possible results could include unbalanced patterns and pissed-off customers at high production cost...

Yep, grading and patterning takes time and effort, and also incurs fees each time a pattern is changed. You then have to do samples to make sure the new pattern works...changing up the rise would be a big deal.

We'll have the prototype arc pics tomorrow. Inoue is back to Japan but in his own words today "it is jet lag"

Changing rise means a complete redesign of the top block - the most complicated part of the jeans. That's the reason Levi's only offer three variations of rise for their £500 bespoke items. Zips are standard lengths so the (complicated) zip section needs redesigning. Yoke, as you've mentioned, will be a different length and angle (and the yoke is one of the most complicated sections to make). Then the shape of the seat will change for each variation in rise, as it tapers up to the waistband, with a kind of shoulder. So each change in rise makes for a redesign of the jean. Replicated across a range of sizes of course.

Did I mention that I'm back in?  

Messaged volvo-san on instagram a few days back, but honestly, seeing that patch, learning about the back pocket design, seeing Sir Paul also joining in made me jump back on the bandwagon  There's also a bit of redemption needed on my end after such a poor showing in the TCB50's contest; You can trust I'll be UP sizing this time!

[volvo240thebest]

I was waiting to read your outing!

Did u make up your mind re sizing? 36 it is?

[aho]

^haha sorry didn't mean to drag it on! Indeed, going with a waist 36, and need a post wash inseam of 29 inches/73.5cm (no suspender buttons)

you can make it work, it's not an overly wide cut!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

It's not so much the wide cut (both my Conner's are wider and with the right inseam length it works) it's more about the cinch and exposed rivets

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

Eagerly waiting for these. It's been a very long time since the last cinch-back jeans I wore. I need these in my life and work.

You're picky like a girl!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The cinch could distract from my buttocks which I like to show off as the sponsor of this contest once said

[edmond]

Your conners arent wider  and yeah u like to show off your buttovks

[Paul T]

Hammer the rivets. Cut off the cinch. 

[Maynard Friedman]

Or just wear your other 30 pairs with no cinch or exposed rivets instead! 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^ that sounds like the best solution

errrrrr

I am more picky than any girl I know...

it is a sad historical situation that has put women in the space of 'appearance' [with men in the sphere of 'utility'] and then scolded them for their vanity / fatuity...

I claim my petty fatuousness and wear it on my sleeve / rear pockets...

anyway

re: final sizing I PMed you b4 but needs adjustment on the chart shared here just in case that is the final document: w.38, l.83 after wash 

thank you!
