This model was released as a replica of the Wrangler jacket worn by John Lennon, and is meant to be paired with jeans to match the jacket. It is unlikely to become a standard item.
When we visited TCB in Okayama, they were just in the process of producing it. "This won't sell, but I want to make it, so I'm going to make it," said Inoue, but TCB has a lot of fans, so the first batch sold out in a flash, and it's finally arriving at retailers.
And this is the last one.
The sanforized 11.6oz warp and weft count 9 fabric is slightly soft and comfortable to wear, typical of left twill. It has been treated with sanfo, but it has not been singed or skewed (a finishing process to prevent twisting), so it can be twisted properly (lol).
These jeans were made for cowboys, so they have reverse-rolled yokes to prevent items from falling out of the back pockets, coin pockets that are easy to access, reverse-rolled rivets, and lots of rolled stitching. They are jeans with a completely different appeal from Levi's.
