Sassafras looks like its bigger sizes are pretty generous.  Nice stuff!

[bigblack]

I cracked and bought this Bob Dong jacket. Never experienced Chinese denim and the repo looks promising

Possible dumb question but had been occupying my mind for a while.

is TCB an abbreviation? If so, what does it stand for?

[volvo240thebest]

Dunno, might ask Hajime about it! While we are at it, I'd love to see some fit pics of people who got the TCB 50's. I know a few guys here bought them.. I'd like to see how these fit on westerner body types.

Same thing happened to me.  Anyone aware of a company making a regular line of hemp or flax jeans at all?  Tried Red Cloud and Bob Dong but they're both sold out in my size.

[volvo240thebest]

I believe Sauce Zhan has some fabrics made out of flax/hemp and cotton.

Cheers, ehh not to come across as a complete twat, any chance you'd know which ones?  Looking on taobao know, and it ain't immediately obvious.

volvo240thebest, "Bob Dong" is a genius name for anything. :D

 

A friend and I are EXTREMELY interested in Bob Dongs now...I got my buddy into denim about a year back and now he is turning into a fiend...I show him the taoboa link and he responds that he willing to pay $100's so he can say to people "Yep, got my Bob Dongs on...tuesdays are always reserved for my Dongs..."

 

Dos Equis man: I dont always wear Chinese made repro denim, but when I do, I only wear BOB DONGs...

Yeah, they look great, I'm gutted he doesn't have my size in the hemp mix :-(

[oranswell]

In a fit of severely misplaced optimism I got a pair of the 50/50 cotton/flax Bob Dong's there in a 34.  PM me if anyones interested in them, they're unworn as I could barely get them on   Postage would be from Ireland.

Mind posting pics, and what you looking for?

deluxewear ww2 rust stained 2 1/2 months fuckin faders

[Payasote]

kuro

Anyone? They are like a prps japanese version (as they are smaller) IMHO good quality expensive weird washes but the raw ones looked nice.

[Jambon]

A little update on my Boncoura's after a few months wear and one wash unfortunately after an incident with a bowl of ice cream but fading slowly but nicely I think..

 

 

 

 

 

Very soft denim which reminds me of Evisu No1 Special but quite a bit heavier denim as proving to be a bit sweaty on the hotter days. Though my current favourite pair.

[volvo240thebest]

They also have a Instagram page

Thank you guys 

[Cucoo]

AFAIK the stuff is only sold through Taobao though: http://bobdong.taobao.com/

 

He does answer Instagram mentions but not private messages as it seems.

[redragon]

Anybody ordered from e-worker before?

Re-reading a piece about the brand from Inventory (the magazine) is tempting to get something there...

[SLAB]

ordered quite some stuff from him; you need to pre-order if you buy from him directly

but these days there are quite a bit of stores that sell his products
