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.

The fabric is made from Zimbabwean cotton.
Zimbabwean cotton is renowned for being among the highest quality in the world within brand varieties, and is so fine that it is used for dress shirts in Europe.
Since it is harvested by hand without machinery, it is almost pesticide-free.
It has fewer damages and impurities during harvest, superior whiteness, high fiber uniformity, and is full of luster and softness.
Using this Zimbabwean cotton, yarn is spun with traditional spinning machines to produce the fabric.
This denim fabric is crafted with a focus on quality from the raw material.

The fabric used is approximately 13.5 oz (based on a 6×6 class warp and weft, roughly 6 threads per inch; note that the "class" and "roughly" indicate that due to the slub yarn, the weight and thickness are not perfectly uniform).
It is produced not by modern computerized forced 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.

The design is based on vintage denim jackets from the 1950s.
It is a second-type denim jacket with pleats and chest pockets.
It has been finished in a vintage-inspired style typical of TCB Jeans, with a timeless appeal unaffected by trends.

The front features pleats, a characteristic of the 2nd type.
Great care has been taken in the sewing of this part.

A major feature of the 50's JeansJacket, the front pleats are sewn to replicate vintage styles, using a "Square Stitch Sewing Machine" from start to finish.

The chest pockets are sewn with a double-needle machine.
They feature a distinctive "onigiri" (rice ball)-like stitch at the corners.
This sewing faithfully reproduces vintage techniques.
The pocket flaps are sewn without cutting the thread from the pocket seam, maintaining authenticity.
The rivets on the front pockets are adjusted in thickness and width based on vintage standards and placed in the same position, reproducing fine details.

The side construction varies depending on size.
Sizes 38 and below use a single stitch.
Sizes 40 and above use an additional piece of fabric, resulting in two stitches.
This variation in sewing method by size is a hallmark of a true factory brand.

An adjuster is attached to the side, a classic detail of the 2nd type that follows vintage design.
It allows for adjustment of about one button's width.

The buttons are original, stamped with the "TWO CAT BRAND" logo, modeled after vintage buttons.
Made of iron, they develop a patina over time with use.

The cuff buttons are single, making them easy to roll up.
The rivets on the sleeves are copper, durable and aging beautifully over time.

The jacket features extensive use of chain stitching.
The armholes are sewn with chain stitches, a challenging and critical part of the manufacturing process.

The belt and cuffs are sewn with union special machines, with chain stitches running from the belt tip to the cuff, without additional topstitching, faithfully reproducing vintage construction.

The pleats on the front use selvage fabric, maintaining vintage authenticity.

The patch is made of paper.
Around 1957, the patch was changed from leather to paper, following vintage standards.
