TCB S40´s WWII 14oz Regular Straight Jeans
The 14 oz EMOT blended cotton and hard twisted yarns in this WW2 repro jeans ensure a solid texture, preserving the original indigo color appearance. Vintage Toyoda shuttle looms and a unique cotton blend recipe replicate uneven threads, while a departure from modern whiteness preferences focuses on recreating the creamy tinge—a hallmark of WW2 fabric. The fit, staying true to Levi's S501XX, features a regular straight fit with a high rise, providing both comfort and a classic aesthetic. Every detail, including back pocket shape commitment, wonky finish, steel-made laurel wreath buttons, distinctive pocket stitches, and unique belt loops, contributes to iconic fades.

When Hajime Inoue launched TCB in 2012, his appreciation for classic vintage denim reflected his initial perception of perfection. However, as his expertise in jean craftsmanship grew, so did his recognition of beauty in imperfections.
The simplified models, while not flawless, encapsulate rich history and stories. Faithfully reproduced from the original Levi's S501XX, they embody the essence of vintage charm. After meticulous analysis of the original Levi's WW2 fabric, TCB settled on a 14 oz EMOT blended cotton, incorporating hard twisted yarns for a solid texture that mimics the original WW2 material's first impression. This yarn ensures the indigo color doesn't fully penetrate the core, preserving the authentic vintage appearance.
Uneven threads are meticulously replicated using vintage Toyoda shuttle looms and a unique cotton blend recipe. Departing from the modern preference for whiteness, TCB focused on recreating the creamy tinge—a distinctive detail of WW2 fabric.
The fit remains true to the original Levi's S501XX, featuring a regular straight fit with a high rise and ample space in thighs, knees, and calves for both comfort and a classic look.
Every detail, faithfully reproduced from the S501XX, includes a commitment to the back pocket shape, wonky finish at the top corners, a bit of fabric hanging at the bottom, steel-made laurel wreath buttons, a distinctive right-back pocket stitch, and unique belt loops that contribute to iconic fades.
Like many other TCB jeans, the S40's model runs slightly small. In general, we recommend choosing one size larger than your usual, as is common with many Japanese one-wash models. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.
TCB (which stands for Two Cats Brand or Taking Care of Business) is a Japanese label founded in Kojima by Hajime Inoue in 2012. It specializes in reproductions of the classic American denim icons produced from the 1920s to the 1960s. Among his garments, we can find some of the highest-quality reproductions we have ever seen, made in his own workshop on sewing machines more than a hundred years.
