Happy jeans: TCBxSufu S40s WW2 contest thread

[volvo240thebest]

That hat with new balance 998 is the style equivalent of a pizza with pineapple haha!

Jeans are taking off, finally. Indigo is falling and finally knees are fading. Not enough to justify close ups though.

It's a beautiful day here in peasantland

@mariano_vittori nice! Vintage hat? What brand?

[Toegun]

Saturday shenanigans with my daughter rearranging the living room, now we have dancing space, waiting room for the GP and a Halloween shop! Not bad for the 4 and half year old. 

which leads to training the art of jumping off stuff to her 2 year old brother...

Oh yeah, not much in the fade department. The jeans are having their own competition for wear.

Tried something out, wonkyness for extra war-vibes and stuff.

And Happy 30's @Frost - and that does look like a happy set up - (at first I though that was an early start for a smoke until I realised

Selling our house and had to tend to some issues with the roof. Nearly a case of “it’s easy to get up and hard to go down” but managed after a while. Jeans starting to show some signs of fading and the fabric is starting to show some irregularities.

No. 18 checking in. I decided to do a goofy little stages of dress fit series for ya. These are after a week or so of wear and a nasty 72-hour stomach bug. I fill them out a little better when I'm eating properly, but the basic idea is there. After full stretch, the fit is exactly what I was aiming for. With no belt, they slouch low on the waist, but hug the hips perfectly. Add the belt, and they sit two inches higher up on the waist for a proper fit. Enjoy. Or don't.

Finally, the details. Thank you to Ryo and Inoue for managing to get the original contest details into the second pair. I was only expecting the patch, but got the works.

This is the two cats brand and my first contest run with TCB found me and my cat Dimitri on the cover of a coffee table book. Sadly, after 18 years, I had to put him down last week. I'll consider this contest run a little memorial to him.

[chicote]

Damn your bodysuit is amazing!!! I wish I had the foresight and dedication to commit to a piece like that. I’m covered in scribbles and half regretting it every day lol 

that aside your new pair fits perfect! thats exactly the fit I was going for as well. i hope they’ll be a just part of memorializing your cat.

[Jared_Lee]

@chicote I had some good guidance early on. From there it has been a lot of commitment, time, pain and money. We'll see if I regret the latter come retirement. Haha.

[mandel9000]

Great fit and pictures, @Jared_Lee! Sorry to hear about the cat. 

[smoothsailor]

Body suit is super cool jared lee.

[mariano_vittori]

First updates...after nearly two months

[JDelage]

I'm going to part ways with my WW2 jacket with the contest patch, sz 42. Will put on eBay this week end but feel free to reach out to me before that if you're interested.

Can we see more of your body suit? Who did the work? 

[Jared_Lee]

@shredwin_206, yeah, hopefully at some point over the next 16 months I can get around to posting some more detail shots of the suit. That's just the top half! Haha. As for who, the torso was done by five different artists over the last 17 years.

J Medina did my back

Chuco Moreno did my front and left underarm

Freddy Corbin and Bert Krak did my sides. Freddy did the black and gray. Bert did the Tex Avery and pinup.

It all started with my second ever tattoo from Sebastian Orth at Otherworld Tattoo. He did the color chest piece back in 2003(?). He's really the one that passed down a lot of wisdom and perspective that helped shape how I approached getting tattooed and greatly influenced the final product.

[Jared_Lee]

And thank you, @mandel9000 and @smoothsailor.
