I washed at 30, no dryer. Lost a couple cm in the leg. I’d already stretched the waist a bit before washing so it’s tricky to know if they shrank more there

Mine were the same. Now they’re stretched a tiny bit past the chart size though. They stretch and if the waist is your only worry it might work?

i guess they’re smaller everywhere so I’m getting a slimmer pair, not that sweet looser fit, but that’s ok. The waist was the only place they were wrong; the rest is just different

They fit kind of like my FH3005 now but with the rise on steroids. That’s good for me. 

I washed them exactly like I’ll always be washing them, to get them used to it. Then I went round the waist bit by bit with the button open and stretched them. Then I put them on damp and fastened them and wiggled round lots. 

yeah this is true! Although this pair has taught me to do it in centimetres (or millimetres maybe!), there’s been that much measuring involved 

I spoke to Inoue this morning he’s confident there stretch and I trust his word from past experience with my Tcb 606 size 30 tag now have stretch to a 31 special after first wash also I have a pair of joe mccoys 906s which were crazy tight and they stretch 2 in the waist.

 

thank you

No.36ナユタと猫がいよいよチェックイン！

tcb Inoue＆Ryo、tcbスタッフ一同エキサイティングなジーンズを作ってくれてありがとう！

ジーンズは34インチと36インチです。（お尻が大きいのが気になったので２種類あります）ジャケットは38インチです。

さて、私の宝くじポケットはかっこいいです。残念ながら水玉は手に入れられませんでした笑

 

 

そのクールなポケットに落書きをしました。20代コンテストでも落書きをしました。

（これらのイラストは私のオリジナルではありません）

とてもかわいいです中に隠された絵は、ジーンズを脱ぐたびに幸せな気分にさせてくれます。

 

私は私のパートナーOWです。それは非ストレスです！股上が深いので、これらのジーンズを試着し、一発で気に入りました！大好きですジャケットもストレスフリーです。これが大好き。

 

この夏の最後の2か月間、毎日tcb 40を着用するために歩きました。2か月で470 km歩きました。そのおかげで家にいたのですが、日焼けしてしまいました笑夏を楽しんでいるようです。

私の同伴者（34インチ）OWは、ウエストベルトのすぐ下の40 cmに平らに置かれました。チャートは86cmです。実物は6cm小さいようですが全く問題ありません。念のため歩いてよかった

サイズが気になる方のための良い解決策が見つかることを願っています。みんなが幸せであってほしい

 

スタートまであと数日！楽しもう。

I really like the drawings on the pocketbags! @Nayuta

@Nayuta

You say there's no difference on the 36 OW from the size chart? But 42.5x2=85, whereas the chart says 91. So that's exactly the same difference as the 34 (6cm) no?

サイズ表から36 OWに違いはないと言いますか？しかし、42.5x2 = 85ですが、チャートでは91と表示されています。これは、34（6cm）の違いとまったく同じですか？

Oh!  That's right!  My misunderstanding!  Excuse me.

So I washed my jeans and wooooo they were hella tight. So spent an evening watching almost an entire season of HBO’s Insecure with them on and luckily they stretched out nicely:

They’re still extremely crunchy this morning but I’m really really chuffed with them. I hope those with sizing issues can make them work or go for the exchange as I think this is going to be a great contest. 

Tried them with a belt for the first time and the closeness of the front belt hoops remind me of Ooe jeans a lot.

Got my jeans and jacket today. The jacket fits great. It matches the size chart. The jeans don't. The waist simply is not in the ballpark of what I ordered. Measuring according to TCB standard, waist pulled flat (cuz really folks, what's the point of measuring against their charts using a different measuring style?), I have a 28.5" waist on an advertised 30.9" waist. You do the math.

@volvo240thebest, I'm tired of your gaslighting around TCB's mistake. They messed up, not the people that ordered a size that did not arrive. There is no magic equation you used that everyone else with improperly cut jeans failed to. My waist measures 31" and I ordered 31". That's your method. That's not my method, but regardless I ended up with a dissatisfactory result and I'm not really interested in hearing how I should have ordered or how I should stretch them out. They are not the size I ordered. Period. 

I appreciate that TCB will stand behind the product and do what's right to make exchanges, etc. My frustration is not with the solution on their end, simply that this could have been avoided by measuring the jeans after manufacture to ensure reasonable compliance with advertised dimensions. I didn't even need to measure these jeans to immediately see they were much too small for a 31.

Finally, I'm not mad at anyone. I appreciate you, @volvo240thebest for the tremendous work you put into all of this. I appreciate TCB for taking on the task of dealing with the many hyper particular denim dweebs that frequent this joint and making this contest happen. Thank you all for your hard work.

As for how I proceed, I haven't decided yet. I think I'll end up sending them back as they are the kind of tight that digs deep into my hip bones and I just don't want to wear pants that do that even though I know they'll stretch to be ok-ish. But I still need to try them on again and make a final decision.

Measurement Comparison Chart vs. Actual:

Standard:

Waist: 30.9" vs. 28.5"

Thigh: 12.3" vs. 11.75"

Front Rise: 12.4" vs. 13.25"

Metric:

Waist: 78.5 cm vs. 72.4 cm

Thigh: 31.3 cm vs. 29.9 cm

Front Rise: 31.5 cm vs. 33.7 cm

I'm sorry to hear that jeans don't meet your and others expectations. Tcb botched and I have no problem to say it. I think they should have made samples in each size before taking up pre orders.
But as you say and they're standing behind the product. Just send an email to Ryo, and ask for an exchange or refund. I am totally sure they'll sort you out.
I can't help but be happy when someone nails the fit (especially if and when these are the guys that asked me how to size, the other Italians eg), but if the banter interrupts too much the whiny mood and is not appreciated I'll just stop it.
As you know I am a big fan of Tcb and I know that if there's no errors and not at least a little bit of farce thrown in here and there it's not Tcb. They don't make the perfect product, but they make stuff that has TONS of soul and always deliver amazing fades, and has massive value for price.

that all said I had to google "gaslighting" and I think it's a sort of insult that I am not keen on taking or accepting. We're talking about a pair of jeans here, not molding minds of adults who should be well able to decide for themselves.

No hard feelings Jared, just stick up your gaslighting line up your soft a**e  and we're fine.

@なゆたGood evening!  I was waiting for your post! The pocket drawing is really amazing!  I think I will imitate it soon hahaha

You also did a very big job of making patches in this contest!  Thank you.

Too dark for fit pics but I'll try for tomorrow. That said, it's a "period correct" fit and I'm all for it.

Cool. Thanks

Another unhappy participant sadly. 
I’m out of the contest. 
My 33 one wash measure  at barely 30 in the waist. 
Love the denim and my pocket bag combo was awesome. 
But no way these will work and not really interested in a plain later run 

[shredwin_206]

My pair is sold. Glad they went to a fellow denim head!

 Seems like all the 33 OW are slimmer. I’m getting mine tomorrow. Hoping for the best. I’ll probably have to return if they’ll be under 32” 

[shredwin_206]

Anyone see a size tag on their pants? Quick glance at mine I only see the wash instructions. 
Would be really easy to grab the wrong pair if they were just in a big pile to ship 

[erk]

31 s40s with 31 50s. Mine came in at an incredibly tight 28” 

not sure what to do yet. The fit in the legs and top block is great. Definitely could wear them unbuttoned but that’s ridiculous

No not a lot. But the left leg does have some. 
 

I really like the pockets I got
