Around The World

My denim box was getting a little full. So I decided to send my two pairs of TCB - the 1920s and the 1950s - back home. Very honoured to see they're hung up in the factory in Kurashiki!

The 1950s are the standard fabric, so you can see how nice these jeans turn out with use. I think the 1920s have a variant on the normal fabric, ones from the earlier run I've seen are more of a royal blue.

the photos made me think how my jeans are a bit like my guitars. They all turn out much the same! I personally don't fixate on details, I think if you wear them much the same way they look much the same. Just like rather than fixating on a guitar or amp, if you play the same way, they sound much the same. Don't fixate on the details too much, and enjoy what you have. I certainly enjoyed these jeans! Thanks to Inoue, Ryo and all at TCB.

TCB 1920s (left) and 1950s (right). Note the 50s pair have a loom fault on the left leg, and a lot more leg twist. I nearly always opt for the same waist size, 32, but went for a 31 on the 50s, which still fit well.
