Product Name: TCB Jeans TCB 50's JeanJacket Type 2nd
Material: 100% Cotton
Country of Origin: Japan
The TCB Jeans 50's JeanJacket has been redesigned.
It has been upgraded from the previous slim silhouette model to a more relaxed fit.
This is a second-type denim jacket crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from fabric to sewing and silhouette.
It is based on the paper patch of the vintage Levi's 507XX (2nd Type) owned by TCB.
With the renewal of the 50's Jacket, production of the old type has been discontinued.
Both the new relaxed fit and the slim old type offer their own unique appeal.

**Material:**
Made from Zimbabwe Cotton.
Zimbabwe Cotton is renowned as one of the highest quality brand varieties, used even for dress shirts in Europe.
Harvested by hand without machinery, making it nearly pesticide-free.
It has fewer damages and impurities during harvest, superior whiteness, high fiber uniformity, and a glossy, soft texture.
Using Zimbabwe Cotton, yarn is spun with traditional spinning machines to produce the fabric.
This denim fabric is crafted with particular care from the raw material.
**Fabric Specifications:**
The fabric used is approximately 13.5 oz (based on a 6×6 class warp and weft, roughly 6 threads per inch—note that due to the slub yarn, the weight and thickness are not perfectly uniform).
It is produced not by modern computer-controlled methods but by traditional spinning machine adjustments.
The characteristic "Ateri" (fading pattern) features a thick, short fall, which naturally connects into lines, showcasing the best vertical fall when it occurs.

**Construction Details:**
