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 fit offer their own unique appeal.

The fabric is Zimbabwe Cotton.
Zimbabwe Cotton is renowned as one of the highest quality brand varieties, used even for dress shirts in Europe.
It is harvested by hand without machinery, making it almost pesticide-free.
This results in fewer damages and impurities during harvest, higher whiteness, high fiber uniformity, and a cotton that is glossy and soft.
Using Zimbabwe Cotton, the fabric is made with traditional spinning machines to produce yarn.
This denim fabric is crafted with particular care from the raw material.
The fabric used is approximately 13.5 oz (based on a 6×6 class warp and weft, roughly 13.5 oz; note that the "class" and "roughly" refer to the yarn thickness and fabric weight, which can vary due to the slub yarn).
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.

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 timeless, vintage-inspired style characteristic of TCB Jeans.
The front features pleats, a hallmark 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 double-needle stitching.
They feature a distinctive "onigiri" (rice ball)-like stitch at the corners.
This stitching follows vintage techniques.
The pocket flaps are sewn without cutting the thread from the pocket seam.
The bar tacks on the front pockets are also based on vintage standards, with adjusted thickness and width, aligned in the same position.
Every detail is carefully reproduced.
The side construction varies depending on size.
Sizes 38 and below have a single stitch.
Sizes 40 and above have an additional piece of fabric, resulting in two stitches.
This variation in sewing method by size is a characteristic 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 worth.
The buttons are original, stamped with the "TWO CAT BRAND" logo, modeled after vintage buttons.
They are made of iron, allowing for a pleasing patina with use over time.
There is one button at the cuff, making it easy to roll up sleeves.
The rivets on the sleeves are copper, durable, and develop a patina over time.
The jacket features extensive use of rolled seams.
The armholes are sewn with rolled seams, which are difficult and considered a key point in the manufacturing process.
The belt and cuffs are sewn with union special chain stitches all the way to the belt tip, without intermediate sewing, following vintage techniques.
The pleats on the front use selvage fabric, following vintage construction methods.
The patch is a paper patch.
Around 1957, the patch was changed from leather to paper, following vintage standards.
