When TCB starts a new project, a new meeting with a great vintage piece is always the trigger. Something they saw through show windows back in the days or some special vintage jeans that movie stars wore, etc. So, basically they look back at the clothings of my longing and I reproduce the items that they've longed for: That's basically what TCB brand is.

This time they took as reference a vintage Carhartte chore jacket from the 20's for the tag design. Carhartte vintage clothings are very popular in Japan as well as in the rest of the world and the famous heart-shaped tag was used on their garments between the 30's ~ the 40's but this Master Cloth one is even rarer, which was used only till the late 20's.

As for the fabric, the tension of the weaving is set relatively loose and we've chosen yarn count: 7 for the warps and 1 for the wefts. The difference of the yarn count between the warps and the wefts is a bit unusual for the denim weaving  but speaking of this fabric at the microscopic level,  it looks that the warps sit over the wefts on the surface of the fabric, which will eventually leads to wild, rainfall fades and the difference of the yarn count creates  more clear looking twill lines for a 2*1 fabric.

It's dyed by synthetic indigo without any adulteration. A bit of derailment here but have you ever seen any denim, wabash, or whatever indigo-dyed vintage clothing faded in to some greenish color? That's brought by cheap synthetic indigo with some filler sort of ingredient mixed in.  TCB's fabric this time is dyed by 100% synthetic indigo so it won't fade to the greenish color, which some might like but as far as the study goes, on the vintage Carhartte the greenish color is definitely not the characteristic of their fabric.  

Compared to the fabric of XX jeans, the indigo tinge is more blueish.  Before the 50's, the indigo color on denim was more blueish maybe because people back then wanted to lessen the cost of dyeing by lessening the number of indigo dyeing process. ( It's needed to do the dyeing process over and over again in order to achieve the dark indigo color. Put threads in the indigo pool→squeeze the threads and wait for some oxidation→do it again and again.)

*To those who have other TCB chore jackets,
The fabric is softer than the one of Tabby's Jacket or of Black Cat Jacket but the blue tinge is very similar to Tabby's. The twill line is much more visible on the fabric of this new chore jacket so the more vertical, so-called rainfall fade is expected.

TCB Cathartt Chore Coat Paw Stripe jacket

Regular price €325,00
/
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

New color/fabric added to TCB Cathartt Chore Coat family!In history, Carhartt had a very unique heart-shaped stripe wabash and TCB's mixed it with a cat humor, making it Paw Stripe Wabash! It looks classic wabash but if you have a closer look at it, there still you find more cuteness!

This time, TCB asked Sanyo Senko, which is located in my hometown, Fukuyama city in Hiroshima prefecture, to make this custom-made wabash fabric. When I was young, I often visited an amusement arcade near the factory but I had no clue at all that there was such a company who had the unique printing/discharging facility.

There are very few factories in Japan who can do indigo post-dye onto rolls of fabric, discharge the indigo in arbitrary shape, and finally print a beige dyeing onto the discharged parts. That's basically the process of how TCB make wabash fabrics.

TCB  made a heart-shaped mold for this fabric and followed the procedure above. If you are familiar with vintage wabash fabrics, you might know that the outlines of each wabash pattern are often somewhat blurred. That's because the more you produce, the more deteriorated the mold itself gets so in the end we will need to replace the mold with a new one. But, they thought if each heart/paw shape was really clear and obvious, it might come across as too flashy to wear so we've intentionally made the mold to be a bit age deteriorated to have blurred heart-shapes like the ones you see on vintage fabrics.

This fabric might strike you as a bit cheapskate? but after studying each procedure of making a wabash fabric in person, it occured  that this might have been the reason why Stifel stopped producing wabash fabrics. It takes much time, much effort, and much cost to make them!

Nevertheless, I can't help appreciating Sanyosenko who went all the way to make our custom-made wabash fabric in the exact same process as how vintage fabrics used to be made. Also, speaking of any Stifel fabric, you may wonder if the unique back print is still there. (There is a boot-shaped print with the "Stifel" letter in it on the backside of Stifel fabric). It of course makes its cost a bit more expensive but I had no choice but to have our back print to make it a purrfect and meowndaful reproduction.

SUGAR CANE LOT NO. HD15236 HEADLIGHT 10oz. BLUE DENIM JACKET

Regular price €299,00
/
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Known by the nickname of "Engineer Jacket", which has been released since 2017, in the 1940s, it was in the category of "vest" with sleeves, like the C-2 sweater of the US Army Air Corps. Originally designed for indoor work, it features a short length and no collar, and can be layered with a coat. Since it is based on the post-war model, the brass buttons with the navy logo are used for the buttons, but the number of buttons and pockets are the same as in the war period, just like the coat.

Complete Series of the Reproduction "HEADLIGHT"

A brand of Larned Carter, which started in the early 1900s and existed until the 1960s. Unusually at the time, the company produced everything from weaving to sewing in-house. As the trademark of the label and flasher indicates, it was preferred and supplied to railroad workers and engineers. Rare items that are still popular among collectors and difficult to obtain are revived in modern times.


Due to the characteristics of the material and the method of finishing, there may be slight individual differences in the dimensions of each part. Also, depending on the settings and environment of your device, the color of the product may differ slightly from the actual color. Please note.

In the end, though, there could be only one winner. Musashi had provoked Kojirō to make the first attack. Miyamoto quickly countered and succeeded in breaking Kojirō’s left ribs and puncturing his lungs, eventually killing him.  With such history behind, Samurai Jeans could never go wrong and built a history of its own in the denim world.

HOLY BLUE "YEAR TWO" 16OZ BROWN SLUB DENIM TYPE III JACKET

Regular price €299,00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Made in Okayama, Japan, Holy Blue's second release was woven in the in a small family mill in Kojima. This denim fabric SB567-A-RBR was created on vintage shuttle looms  handled by skilled craftsman, using only the best natural raw materials and dyeing the cotton yarn with pure indigo to weave the original denim using its vintage looms by hand. These old machines require technician's best maintenance all the time. It’s the key of vintage denim creation. 


This fabric is made by three different thickness yarn to have a vintage vertical fading and very unique “structured denim”. Each yarn is very slubby and it gets dipped into the indigo many times using the "rope dying" traditional technique.
Made with mixed Usa and Australian cotton with slightly low-tension weaving, the fabric was then sent out to Italy to get hand sewed by Holy Blue artisans in a small lab in the amazing Venice area.

TCB WOOL-LINED 50S JACKET

Regular price €450,00
/
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

In general, any brands start production at least half a year in advance so that it's normal to design some winter coats/Jackets in summer and vice versa. But if I do say so myself, I'm not that diligent or punctual of a guy. I mean I can't come up with any good ideas for the winter in the scorching summer in Japan. Thinking about any wool fabrics in the summer just makes me sweat a lot but that's what everyone does in the fashion world that TCB also belongs to.

However, lucky me! Because I have my own factory so I usually think about new shorts in July and some jackets or coats in October, which is fair to say that I'm disqualified as a good designer/maker though, but that's been the TCB style since the beginning so it's all good.

(I have to say though that I'm a nuisance for the stockists all over the world since they order based on their seasonal budget... But hope this TCB style of doing things at least gives some good surprises to our stockists.)

But, I've had one thing I haven't been able to make so far.

I've been thinking for long time that I myself want a warmer jacket in Jan or Feb when it gets below 0 even in Kojima but I don't wanna wear any non-cotton jacket, let alone a down jacket. ...I've got it! Why don't we make a wool lined denim jacket!

But in order to make a good quality wool fabric reminiscent of something vintage, it takes at least 3~6 months. In the past 3+ years, I've always had a passion to make them but TCB guys are like men of no plan so we have actually had mentally and physically cold winters.

In 2020, I finally started to kick my own lazy butt and started to find a suitable weaving factory with my vintage wool lined jacket in hands.(too small for me to wear) but in Okayama, there were very few factories who specialize in wool and I had many difficulties in trying to developing top-notch wool fabric here. After all, Okayama is the city for denim, not for wool fabric. 
When I was almost ready for giving up on the wool lined jacket this year again, My old friend, Taichi from XX Development, searched and ran around on behalf of me to find an authentic wool weaving factory with all the vintage machines equipped in Ichinomiya, Aichi, Japan. (the city of TOYOTA)

I asked the grandmaster of the factory when he started his job and he said in a murmur, " Back when we had Isewan Typhoon(1959).

Pic No: 7~

The vintage Schoenherr looms working for 61 years 
I'm more used to the denim shuttle looms in Okayama so I was quite surprised about how slow the shuttles were moving. The moves could be actually caught by my eyes but it is said that the slow speed gives the fabric the feelings very similar to the hand-woven stuff, which made total sense to me.

When deciding the yarn count for the fabric, I discussed it with Taichi and the grandmasters there and we reached the golden blend: two folded yarns for the warps and the triple ply yarns for the wefts both developed exclusively for this wool lining. 

The pitches and the widths of the stripes are totally the same as the vintage and what I also wanted to reproduce was the pinkish color for some true vintage vibes. We had some ready-made pink yarns but they were not up to the quality I wanted so this pink color is also a custom-made color for us.

It's usually a bit time-consuming and laborious to convince the grand masters of anything since they are known to be super professional and in general pretty stubborn about what they do but I was glad to see their smiles when we created the perfect vintage-looking fabric right under our eyes.

It's a bit unusual for TCB to write such a long fabric description(is it even a fabric description...?) but finally, we are ready to open the curtains on this product.

Hope Santa Clause will deliver this warm, lined jacket to you! Stay tuned on TCB!

■Sewing 

Comparing the wool fabrics, the tinge on our fabric look a bit darker but we have counted in the fades on the fabric so when it's worn well the hue will be pretty close to the vintage piece. The pitches and the widths of the stripes are authentically reproduced from the vintage 517XX we own.

For the lap seams, we use our vintage Union Special with the sewing width of 9/32 inch. Speaking of the process of doing the lap seam, we do it separately for the denim and the wool fabric first and then sew them together on the armpits.

If you look at the around-shoulder lap seams on the inner side of the vintage, they are sewn staggered to avoid that the fabrics overlap a lot and get too thick to be sewn. So, we have sewn them in the exact same way as the vintage piece.

The finishing on the cuffs opening was the most difficult part and is quite difficult to explain by writing though but it really gave me a headache.

There is one part to cut on the cuffs of the outer material(denim) and the same principle goes for the inner material(wool) but the wool fabric of the vintage was not cut there so I could finally solve the puzzle to finish the cuffs in the same vintage way.

In addition, I'd like to show you Taichi's comments from XX Development who played a significant roll in creating this wool fabric and who is one of my best friends. Both he and I talk/write a lot but hopefully you can feel the thoughts and the passion we both had for this project.
〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜
■Comments from Taichi below

I think I have reached the answer as to what the reproduction should be.

Because we both have our own factories, this might be the answer we naturally drove ourselves into, I'd say. In our younger days, we both had some longing or passion towards jeans, American cultures, vintages, etc, eventually leading to us having sewing machines, making clothes on our own, and having like-minded guys around us while we had to jump over such hurdles as management and financing.

Speaking of the sewing factories in general, they receive orders and do exactly what they are instructed to do without thinking too deeply about what they are being asked to produce. They do the production solely according to the instruction to earn money, ultimately to make a living.

However in our cases, we also have a passion for what we want to make so we find the time to make our passions form into our brand's line while doing those orders perfectly. But we just do it truly out of our dream or our admiration for vintage style/items so it always gives me a headache thinking about how we are supposed to reproduce this or that, which is also the very fun part of making clothes or the reproduction though. We don't say this aloud to customers or write a lot about all the failures and the mistakes but we always hope you could feel any of the commitment or professionalism behind a product.

Finally, speaking of Mr. Sato, the grandmaster of wool weaving, he's been doing this for 61 years! He even told us he's been living with the vintage Schoenherr weaving machines. Isn't it just amazing? Mistakes happen/happened to anyone and I'm sure he's been through numerous mistakes so far but I think he's already at the level where he can actually talk with the machines. If I do say so myself, we improve by making mistakes. If you keep doing it for 5, 10, 20 years, you'll eventually be able to make good stuff.

When we brought the sample wool fabric to him, the reaction of Mr. Sato was something like " What? is this really what you want to make? "  For him, it must have been the quality he already reached 5 years after he had started the job.  Thinner, lighter, more beautifully woven fabric is the general direction of improvement in the industry. Therefore, it was literally rewinding the clock on the mastered skills for him.  I remember he murmured that he was worried a bit about woven defects due to the way the vintage one was woven... but of course, those blankets do rip if you look at any vintage items.

Mr. Sato himself must be nonchalant when it comes to fashion but his skills are purely authentic backed by the experience and the knowledge accumulated over more than 60 years.

This is a reproduction from the vintage piece that is more than 60 years ago and the reproduced wool fabric is mixed with some cheap cotton to stay true to the vintage, woven with a vintage machine of the same construction as back then and created by a grandmaster of 60 years, which is already a very intriguing story but he also added some improvements to the fabric by using the two folded yarns for the warp to achieve more durability and he also pre-dyed some yarns to make the color more true to the vintage. I felt really grateful fo his consideration and I appreciated that he poured all of his knowledge into what young boys like us passionately wanted to make.

It's just a stupid story but any clothes are made by someone. The fashion sense and trends come and go like the waves and tides and I'm happy to see the new improvements on the sewing works or the pattern making. But at the same time, we both love vintages so we are dedicated to the vintage ways of making clothes but even in these fields we can find new techniques and new improvements, leading to raising the reproductions to the next level. I don't mean to brag about what we've made this time or anything but I'd rather brag more that we could work together with the grand master like Sato-san! I'm more feeling fulfilled and happy because we could make things together with TCB Hajime and the grandmaster, Mr.Sato, not so much because of the quality of what we did or how accurate to the vintage the wool fabric is.

■Size

The size chart is based on the actual measurements of one washed jackets taken when laid flat.
Model:5'9" (180cm)/ 180lbs (79kg)  Nude chest: 96cm wears size 44.

Other TCB jackets he wears in the similar fit.
New 50's Jacket: 44
30's Jacket: 44
Cat Boy Jacket: 46 

■Tips

The sizing is pretty similar to our New 50's Jacket. If you compare the size charts of the two,  this wool lined jacket measures larger than the new 50's Jacket but the fit will be very similar between the two since the lined ver needs more room to accommodate the lining.

If you plan to wear a sweater or heavy flannel shirt underneath, we suggest you size up!

We've finally made something we had the biggest expectations about.

When Hajime Inoue started TCB back in 2012, he was more fond of the standard vintages like 1955 model, 66 model but as he's got more skilled at making jeans and more knowledgeable about how to faithfully reproduce vintages, he started to find more beauty in the imperfections. 

The simplified models are full of sketchy work and far from perfect finish but
are full of history and story behind.

Jeans- the cut, the construction and every tiny detail is faithfully reproduced from 
the original S501XX.

TCB "SEAMENS" JUMPER CIVILIAN 11.2 OZ JACKET OLIVE

Regular price €200,00
/
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Fabric:10oz, made of 100% cotton
Details:Custom-made change buttons made of urea resin/ Handworked stencils
Sewing:Cotton yarns

PROUDLY DESGINED and MADE IN JAPAN only by TCB crews.

We've reproduced this trousers referencing the vintage deck jacket from the 40's which TCB owns.
We carefully studied the cut, the sewing threads, its color, and its yarn count to reflect them and also modified the shape to fit into your daily wardrobe.

You can see the details as follows.
・Double-stiched front pockets - In order to survive through the tough duty, the pockets needed to be durable so that they are sewn double stitched.

・TCB exclusive urea buttons- We've made the custom change-buttons for the jacket, made of urea resin. They will age nicely alongside with the jacket as you keep wearing.

・The fabric - it's 10OZ neppy denim with much slubbiness on the surface, woven by vintage looms. The roll of the fabric itself is selvedge but we don't use everyone's favorite selvedge part because that's how the original goes. The warps are pre-dyed grey so that when the pants get some fades, the grey gradually comes out, which look I find fascinating about this fabric. We are TCB so that you can have a high expecting on the puckering fades as well.

・Handworked stencil inside the waist belt

*The number is based on after-shrink, measured when laid flat.

TCB "TABBY'S" 10OZ DENIM JACKET

Regular price €260,00
/
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

It is not a reproduction of a jacket from a specific brand but a jacket loaded with some particular features seen in coveralls in 30's such as asymmetry pockets, chin strap and the location of the facing on the cuffs.

The denim fabrics woven using the 2×1 weave (2 warp threads for every weft thread) looks flat at first sight but as you keep wearing them, it will start to show its roughness and its beautiful fades underneath.

We've selected neppy, grey-colored threads for the warps, which makes the fabric 10 OZ.

 

*Measurements are after-shrinkage number, measured when laid flat.

TCB "BLACK CAT" JACKET

Regular price €235,00
/
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
TCB created this jacket in reverence of a vintage chore jacket from TCB archives. The asymmetry pockets shapes and the raglans sleeves are often seen as the features for this type of jacket from 20's.

The fabric is made of 100% cotton and it is 11.2 OZ brown duck.
In order to stabilize the quality of the fabric, we've selected to use the fabric made of the cottons blended with American- grown and Australia-grown ones.

They have analyzed a vintage duck jacket from 50's and have succeeded to make an unique, unsaforized fabric with much unevenness remaining on the surface.
In addition to it, we have chosen to dye the fabric without mercerization and as a result, the fabric has a very natural feeling and color, which we wanted for the best fades.

*Mercerization is a common process for fabrics to get more silky and shiny look and after the process, the color after dyeing will look more fine and uniformed.
