■Product Name: TCB jeans Seamens Jumpers■Material: 100% Cotton■Country of Origin: Japan
This Seamens Jumper is produced with the aim of recreating the USN DECK JKT (USN Deck Jacket) from the 1940s.It is made based on a vintage deck jacket owned by TCB.
The SEAMENS Jumpers are made based on a vintage 40's USN DECK JKT owned by TCB.The sewing thread count and color were meticulously matched for each part.While the silhouette traces vintage clothing, the body width and sleeves have been slightly slimmed down to maintain the vintage feel while being wearable today.Excerpt from TCB jeans website
The fabric used is TCB Jeans' signature 10oz denim.It has a slightly thin feel.With repeated wear and washing, it will age and develop a vintage texture.
The fabric used is a 10oz denim with natural slubs, not the artificially controlled slub yarn that is common today.Although the selvedge is not used in the finished product, the fabric is made on a power loom with a selvedge.To withstand hard wear, pre-dyed gray thread is used for sewing.Excerpt from TCB jeans catalog
This jacket is based on the vintage denim jacket adopted by the US Navy in its early days, commonly known as the "hechima collar" (chrysanthemum collar).Marines wore it for utility purposes, such as deck work.It faithfully reproduces the era.
The collar is a shawl collar.This is one of the characteristic details of a deck jacket.As this is a denim jacket that can be enjoyed for its fading, please be careful of color transfer when wearing it with items like white shirts.
The front pockets are patch pockets.This is a construction typical of workwear.The pocket openings are sewn with a double chain stitch.Fine details have been reproduced.
The buttons have also been reproduced.Resin change buttons, custom-made by TCB Jeans, are used.They are glossy at first, but this gradually settles down to achieve a similar atmosphere to the originals.
The buttons are secured with rings.This button specification is a detail often seen in workwear and military jackets from before the 1930s.In an era when washing was done on washboards, buttons were removed for washing to avoid damaging the fabric.This is a good old detail that became less common after the 1940s with the spread of washing machines.
It is sewn on a SINGER 99, a rare sewing machine operated by only a few generations today.To accommodate the best change buttons, the buttonholes (grommets) must also be of the highest quality.Although not commonly used today, we sought out a sewing machine with the same mechanism as 40's vintage models and met with a person known as the "god of sewing machines."Excerpt from TCB jeans catalog
The jacket is constructed using a lot of felled seams on the shoulders, armholes, and sides.This sewing method follows the vintage style typical of deck jackets.Compared to other sewing methods like folded seams, felled seams can be completed in one pass, making them suitable for mass production.It is a simple, visually appealing, and strong sewing method.
The sleeves are simple, without buttons or other attachments.This construction follows the vintage style.You can also roll up the sleeves, making them usable even as the weather gets warmer.
The inside of the hem has "TCB" and the size notation stenciled.The stencils are applied by hand, one by one.
