The TCB 50's jeans is a reproduction of the iconic vintage 1950's Levi's 501 with a paper patch. It is made with an unsanforized 13,5oz denim fabric. From the fabric to sewing to silhouette, it is made up to the details.
The fabric is a proprietary TCB denim unsanforized fabric, It is made by 100% Zimbabwe cotton, rope dyed and It has a slubby and irregular Texture. It has the natural unevenness such as unstable thread thickness and irregular tense on the fabric made by a vintage loom, not by the mainstream methods of the computer regulation. The trademark Zimbabwe cotton will show beautiful grain fades and TCB's signature roping.
The fit is also inspired in the 50's Levi's 501. A Regular straight cut with a good amount of space in thighs, knees and calves, thus achieving a very comfortable while classic fit. They have a high rise.
The paper patch is all sewn by hands. At around the timing when the fades start to look great, the patch starts to be torn apart, showing the dark blue from the inside.
