Happy jeans: TCBxSufu S40s WW2 contest thread

[Frost]

September 1st works, I'm just gonna presume that I will have to visit customs anyways if they arrive earlier ...

[SLAB]

will they declare a lower value on the package 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yes

[Duke Mantee]

September 1 is no use for me - I don’t wear jeans on a Tuesday

Yes

This is a good point

@volvo240thebest 

Do you know if there is a blanket request with Ryo to declare the lower value (<$30) on all packages or do we need to ask individually?

Thought it was worth double checking... I wouldn't like to send @beautiful_FrEaK my excess charge bill if there was a mishap 

[volvo240thebest]

Since too many asked I seem to remember that Ryo will mark down all parcels. I will ask confirmation and get back tomorrow

[MJF9]

Grazie

[beautiful_FrEaK]

2000 ¥ is what he told me

[heyson]

If anyone’s 33 or 34’s don’t work out I’d love to take them off your hands

What was the response to this? I seem to remember I asked in the notes but it's just to be sure.

Also, I'm really getting hyped, stocking up on some warm midlayers so I can wear the jacket through winter.

T-minus 3 days until shipping starts.

I think that ship has sailed, Matin has them listed as sold out. But that's okay!

[shredwin_206]

Woohoo! Shipping soon. Let’s get started right now! Haha 

[Broark]

Actually I vote @shredwin_206 has a delayed start so we can all catch up to him.

I ordered a pair of these earlier in the summer but didn't get my name on this official list, does it matter? I'm assuming they will still keep my money and send jeans... I don't need to be eligible for any fabalus prizes, but wanted to check.

Hello everyone!  In Japan, the hot summer continues after the rainy season.  Meanwhile, yesterday I went to the tcb factory in Kojima, Okayama prefecture to get jeans.  Unfortunately I didn't take a photo with tcb...

My pair

The best patch in the world

My pocket is striped!  (Although polka dots were fine, ha ha ha)

And the number 33 handwritten by Hajime is a very lucky number for me!!!!!!!

And I swear here to start wearing on September 1st!  (September in Japan is still hot, so you may start wearing it in November hahaha)

[nycsurfer530]

I really like everyone's photos!  Thank you!

[Broark]

Your pocket bag combination is what I’m hoping my pair turns out with @Uncle Karl!

[aho]

Lovely photos @Uncle Karl! The water looks clear and nice to jump in; Maybe you can do a river soak if it's still too hot in September 

[aho]

Forgot to mention, man, these jeans look so good. Brought a smile to my face seeing a finished pair! Proportions are looking ace as well, I have a feeling I'll love this fit and I'm glad the wait (a few years for a WWII TCB) will have been worth it to participate in this contest!

[DoitsuJin]

Thanks for sharing @Uncle Karl !

[srudy]

Perfect teaser @Uncle Karl! The fit, the pocket bags, the denim all look amazing! We’re getting close!!!!!!!  

[dudewuttheheck]

Thanks for the photos @Uncle Karl! Makes me more excited to get mine and get started wearing them.

[volvo240thebest]

Yes Karl! The jeans look so good.
