TCB Jeans_Baggy 50's Jeans 13.5oz

When TCB jeans was born 13 years ago, the first jeans we made were the TCB 50's.

They were our starting point, our first answer to "what are jeans?"

And as our jeans began to cross the oceans, just as Japanese cars switch to left-hand drive when exported, the Slim 50's were created to be a better fit for overseas customers.

For me, the 50's are like the North Star.

Whenever I make something, I always use this model as a reference. Is the silhouette wide or narrow, is the fabric thick or thin, what about the color? The 50's are always the benchmark for all of these judgments.

And now, we are adding a new silhouette to the 50's: the Baggy.

The inspiration came from seeing young people at our factory customize the 50's pattern into a baggy style, and how cool it looked.

Seeing that, I thought, "We really need to formalize this." Just as Mods used to soak their jeans to shrink them for a snug fit, and skaters wore theirs oversized.

It made me realize again how much the look of a single pair of jeans can change depending on who wears them and how.

The Baggy 50's are the direct embodiment of that realization. Of course, the fabric and sewing specifications are the same as the 50's. But it has a modern wide silhouette with ample room in the hips, thighs, and hem.

These jeans were made because we wanted to see how the next generation would interpret our origin, the 50's, and how freely they would wear them.

Below is the product description for the 50's Jeans.

This is a standard TCB model aiming to reproduce the paper patch of Levi's 501 XX from the 1950s. The silhouette is traced from vintage pieces owned by TCB, and the sewing threads are carefully selected, strand by strand, for their count and color.

The fabric used is approximately 13.5oz Zimbabwe cotton. It's not the forced unevenness created by modern computer-controlled machines, but rather a traditional unevenness achieved by adjusting old-fashioned spinning machines. The fades are characterized by thick, short vertical drops, and when these naturally connect into lines, they are expected to show the best vertical fading.

The cut for inserting the hidden rivets reproduces the strongest method among the many available at the time. The idea is that when the base color fades, the paper will tear, revealing a darker fabric underneath.

The waistband below the belt loops is not sewn with a blind stitch, but rather with a chain stitch all the way to the end of the waistband. The "kara-kan" (loop for belt hooks) is intentionally left exposed rather than tucked inside.

The pocket lining (suleki) in the vintage era was often sewn roughly, so TCB jeans 50's reproduces this to an extent that doesn't compromise strength.

Four colors of sewing thread and five different thread counts are used for stitching. There are many highlights in these jeans, such as varying the stitch width depending on the location, and adjustments and modifications to the sewing machines.

Although I can't quite manage to wear baggy jeans low on my waist like a skater, I hope that the younger generation will have a good encounter with quality jeans, and I think this model could be a great starting point.

Skateboarding, like playing the guitar, is one of those things I've tried many times and repeatedly failed at, haha.

Even if you don't wear them low on your waist, the rise is deeply set and there's plenty of room in the hips, so they're also recommended for women. They look cute when coordinated with a tight-fitting top.
