I agree, back rise is much more important.

I'll assume that with a front rise that low the back rise is probably on the low side too.

[corporalclegg]

may be a foolish question but what is the best way to go about purchasing those bridge 3rd models.  Thanks in advance guys

[Broark]

Via the overseas online shop once they go online on the 23rd: http://denimbridge.ocnk.net

Yeah, kind of what I was assuming too. Comparing to OG, that's a near inch difference, so the back rise must be a fair bit smaller. 

 

Not that I can afford it, but I can at least cross it off my list of jeans I want to get.

[Maynard Friedman]

Hate when there is no back rise measurment, never paid any attention to front rise as it's never been a factor. But am surprised at price considering DV name.

Good point, you should start a new thread about this issue!

Just ordered me a brown duck Foremen Vest from TCB Happy Jeans via Inoue-san directly!

 

Superstoked. I saw the vest last afternoon on instagram, and thanks to the kindness of volvo and the IG poster (whose sufu name I sadly don't know) I already paid the invoice

Thanks again you two!

 

I waited sooo long for a decent brown duck vest.....

 

Here is a fit pic from an "Uncle John" story guy:

 

 

And here is a link to all the pictures, including some awesome macro shots!

I think TCB really deserve its own thread, besides the contest one!

[volvo240thebest]

Ah ah ah! Just ordered mine too! Inoue San doesn't have a size 42 so he's going to make me one on request. Soon I'll sport a three piece TCB suit!

[Blue Nemo]

awesome!

hope our two new vests fit as they planned!

by the way, who was the other guy?

[volvo240thebest]

His Sufu nickname is the same as his IG one, he's from Germany like you and he's on the TCB contest, that's all I know ahah!!!

if it is him, then he is Swiss (AFAIK )

[Blue Nemo]

mkay!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

denimbridge 3rd measurements were updated...thighs are now at a tiny 12,2" post wash for size 36

[Bobbo]

What the hell? That's tight.

[Broark]

Wow, that's a real bummer.

That along with a 12.5 in. back rise there's no way I could make these work!

Guess we'll just have to wait for lot 4. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

keep in mind that he measures the back rise completely different

[Broark]

Oh right, that would probably mean the back rise is a good two inches higher.

Good eye. 

[58panheadfan]

awesome!

hope our two new vests fit as they planned!

by the way, who was the other guy?

 

Cool - you nailed it! And... volvo and b_F both are right: I'm swiss & german (have both passports) born and living in Switzerland.

Cross post from Jeans Jacket thread.

 

The TCB competition thread (and Volvo's TCB tux in particular!) has had me wanting some of their denim for a while now.

 

50s jeans jacket arrived earlier this week and I'm well chuffed with it. Body & arms are a bit longer than I'm used to but I'm cool with that.

 

 

 

[aho]

^Really hoping TCB starts getting into 40's and earlier with a Type 1 and maybe a WWII cut...cool that they went the opposite way though with the 606

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I am eyeing the TCB Type2 jacket too...

[unders]

Aho - Yeah, I'm going to keep my beady eye on what they do too. The Seaman stuff looks great but I don't think I could pull off jeans that wide.

 

Beautiful Freak - Can't recommend it enough. Compared to my LVC type I and Storm Rider the fit is much more flattering.

[volvo240thebest]

Unders you wear it really well!

Also for me the jacket is a bit long in the arms and in the body but it doesn't bother very much as all in all the fit is so flattering, exactly as you said!

I'd love to see TCB come up with other selvedge 5 pocket jean designs too. I'll b all over it ahah!

[Broark]

I'd be interested in that TCB type II if he could make it in a 46 or 48. 

The extra length would be welcomed!

[volvo240thebest]

I am pretty sure Inoue San will do it for you if you ask. He doesn't make a size 42 for all of his tops in his standard line but he made them for me when I asked. I have a type II and I've just ordered a duck vest, same story..

[Broark]

Good to hear!
Might just have to reach out to him later this year.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^^ he has a size 42 in stock now for the Type2

[itsbenhere]

Unders, that jacket is wayyy too long in the body and arm. I wonder why he makes a type 2 and jacks with the proportions?

[unders]

Cheers Volvo!

 

itsbeen here - I'm happy with it, I think the slim body and arms balance it all out pretty well. If it was this slim and short I might look like some tossy indie boy. I've got boxy ones anyway so all bases covered. 

 

Inoue San bases his designs on his own vintage levis. So he could well have a type II that was made longer. Completely guessing though!

I think it's his own take and might depend by the fact that those proportions work well on the average Asian body frame. If you look at fit pics on TCB blog none of the models has to roll in the sleeves the way we do (and btw I do think it looks cool with the sleeves rolled!). That said I still find the fit of this jacket way more flattering than anything else I've owned over the years...
