Happy jeans: TCBxSufu S40s WW2 contest thread

[BionicEye]

[JRendon02]

My favorite Houston area coffee shop opened up a location close to me. I no longer have to about 30 minutes to get them. The Barista gets bonus points for asking about my jeans  

My jeans had their 7th trip through the washer and dryer. No major changes.

Great to see all the updates coming through on here!

My 40s with the winter sun pulling out a range of blues and shades.

Winter has arrived to my part of Sweden. Quite a few degrees below and quite a lot of snow. Jeans are really getting there. Didn’t remember to take a photo but the whiskers wrap around all the way to the back pockets, something I haven’t encountered before.

quality fades in the making, well done chap.

[Spiraltoy]

Cheers Volvo! Don’t know if I’ll get much in the combs department but frontside is going to be interesting!

[volvo240thebest]

I have always close to zero combs results. I love the whiskers and the button fly fades.

Sun’s out & it’s my day off ... thought I’d do errands & maybe a bit of boots  maintenance.

Here’s a quick update, kind of lost track of washes but I think I’m at around 10.

 

Ive got one very prominent whisker, undoubtedly from all the frottage 

I don’t usually get much roping on my jeans so that’s a nice surprise!

It wasnt til I flipped to the back that I realized I’ve covered my jeans in dust by partaking in this little photo shoot. Oh well!

@chicote beautiful work! 
As a frequent washer and dryer myself this is a perfect example of how great denim can be.

Hi!  Everyone.  In the 5th month of the contest, everyone's jeans gradually faded!

On the 9th of this month, my jeans will be 5 months old.  But before the 5th month, I sent it to the tcb factory for repair.

tcb is very busy in production right now and it may take some time to repair my jeans.

everyone!  Now is your chance!Haha!

I hand-washed it with a warehouse cleaner before sending it out for repair.

 

The sites I'm involved in are also advancing.

Do they get cat walks and perches built in?

[Uncle Karl]

@UnnmdUnfortunately, it is not attached to the site here. I wonder if I should attach it secretly.Haha

A couple of pics after their first wash. First time I’ve had TCB hem my jeans and I’m living the roping.

Do TCB carry out repairs/hemming on their jeans?

Backlit action shot from today, hiking at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. And a few of the formations.

[Uncle Karl]

@jewellbenYes!  I'm doing it!

[H...crimper]

Big old WW2 TCB 

 

[buler]

Haulin some hay for Hansel and Gretel on a 3 degree day. Plenty of snow in the last storm. Ready for spring!! Jeans are hiding under my Carhartt overalls.

I hate to admit it, but my contest jeans got to go - i can’t make the size work for me. Haven’t been worn since Oktober I think.

They measure around 42 cm across the waist, but will stretch out around 3 cm easy. They were hemmed by TCB to 76 cm.

Asking around 120 € for them, but hit me up and let’s talk.

 

edit: if you are curious about the pocket bag combo. They are pair no. 43

heres a bit of an update.. 4 soaks and one hand wash so far. the cotton thread has given up in few places and i have had to do a couple of dodgy repairs! + my painted arcs are barely visible now

[LazyS]

printed my arcs on upside down cause it looks kinda like cat lips :3

anyone else's tab curl up nicely?

pocket bags still holding up good so far

inside of my buttons are turning bright orange from rust

only repair i had to make so far

they shrank up perfect after a couple of hot washes. I have a 44 lvc pair in a size smaller that fit but look too slim to be period correct

screengrabbed these nice loose 40s fits from ebay

I did not realize the imperfect lvc 44 only had 1 arc flipped...

 

[Paul T]

Looking great folks. Definitely getting a period look on the denim now it's fading in.

[Frost]

What are fades?

The weather has been freezing for the last couple of weeks and the lakes are frozen here in Finland. We took a little hike yesterday to a little island to spend a day eating buns baked on a fire we made. Jeans are doing fine but I find my self wanting to wash them pretty often as the fits get pretty loose after a little wear.
