{"product_id":"tcb-jeans_sing-sing-cabaret-jacket","title":"TCB Jeans_Sing Sing Cabaret Jacket","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat TCB got their hands on this time was a prison uniform estimated to be from the 40s.\u003cbr\u003eThe moment I saw the large stencil on the back, what jumped out at me was the word \"SING SING\" along with the inmate number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt first, I thought it meant \"singing,\" but upon researching, I found out it refers to the real **Sing Sing Prison** in New York State.\u003cbr\u003eIf the name sounded familiar, it was from the beginning of Audrey Hepburn's \"Breakfast at Tiffany's.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I've always thought it was a funny name for a prison. Sing Sing. It sounds like an opera house.\"\u003cbr\u003eIn English, she says \"opera house,\" but the Japanese subtitles translate it as\u003cbr\u003e\"Sing Sing sounds like a cabaret.\"\u003cbr\u003eThis translation of \"sounds like a cabaret\" left a strangely strong impression on me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I was talking to RYO-kun about it,\u003cbr\u003e\"Then, how about 'SING SING CABARET'?\"\u003cbr\u003eAfter the war, American-made sewing machines were imported to Japan, and domestic jeans began to be produced. Around that time, this movie was translated into Japanese, and in the context of the times, it might have been translated as \"cabaret\" because it was unfamiliar to Japanese people.\u003cbr\u003eAt TCB, which pursues traditional craftsmanship, this jacket with the \"SING SING CABARET\" stencil, which we were able to incorporate precisely because we are a Japanese brand. Before I knew it, I was drawn to those words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCabaret = a place of expression.\u003cbr\u003eOn the other hand, prison uniform = a symbol of restrictions and rules.\u003cbr\u003eI thought this combination of conflicting images was very much like TCB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I actually observed the vintage prison uniform I got, it was truly interesting. The world of workwear is constantly plagued by \"efficiency for sales\" and \"the battle against cost,\" but this prison uniform was originally **\"clothing not intended for sale.\"**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seams were neither felled seams nor overlocked.\u003cbr\u003eThey were simply joined from the back with only plain seams.\u003cbr\u003eI pondered how to make it at TCB, but this time, I dared to use only plain seams with fraying allowances, just like the original. We've preserved a realistic \"roughness\" that allows you to feel the atmosphere of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same goes for the design.\u003cbr\u003eThere are no pockets at all, so nothing can be hidden.\u003cbr\u003eI thought it would be a bit inconvenient outside the prison walls in modern times, so TCB added pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cuffs are also very wide, about 19cm.\u003cbr\u003eIs this also to \"prevent hidden items\"? I hesitated whether to leave this as is, but prioritizing silhouette and everyday wearability, I adjusted the width so it wouldn't get dirty while eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd another impressive thing was the \"pattern matching.\"\u003cbr\u003eDespite the overall rough construction, the front placket and stripes were strangely perfectly aligned. Thinking, \"Only this part is carefully done,\" I observed it more closely──\u003cbr\u003eActually, the body panels were all connected front and back in a one-piece specification.\u003cbr\u003eIt was natural that the pattern matched (laughs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result,\u003cbr\u003eA jacket made with a surprisingly simple construction: one body panel, two sleeves, and one collar. Yes, clothing \"to be worn, not to be sold.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor TCB, with customers all over the world, this project is not just a reproduction. It is an attempt to re-interpret universal themes such as freedom, responsibility, and identity as fashion, through the subject of \"prison uniforms.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like denim, \"the proof of a person's life\" resides in uniforms.\u003cbr\u003eTCB believes that.\u003cbr\u003eThat's why we want to send this garment out to the world, not as a negative symbol,\u003cbr\u003ebut as a positive message that symbolizes \"the strength to seek freedom.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e□ Fabric\u003cbr\u003eThis fabric was specially ordered and custom-made for the SING SING Cabaret Jacket.\u003cbr\u003eActually, it's used horizontally. In its roll state, it's originally a vertical stripe fabric. By deliberately cutting it horizontally, it's made to finish as a border pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis usage doesn't feel out of place precisely because the fabric's structure is **duck (plain weave)**.\u003cbr\u003e10 count warp × 16 count weft, approximately 10 ounces.\u003cbr\u003eIt has a firm weave yet a soft texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough we use high-grade Zimbabwe cotton for the raw material,\u003cbr\u003eour aim was not \"quality\" but the rough texture of the uniforms provided to prisoners at the time.\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, we adopted slub yarn with strong irregularities, which we normally don't use for TCB jeans. The wild yet warm expression faithfully reproduces the realism of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding the vintage border part (navy), I initially thought,\u003cbr\u003e\"Maybe it's indigo dyed?\"\u003cbr\u003eHowever, if it were indigo, there would have been color transfer to the ecru parts.\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, this time, we recreated the navy using **reactive dyeing (cheese dyeing)**.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove information reprinted from TCB official website\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rather unique item has appeared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an item that takes quite a bit of courage to wear, but please do give it a try.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the sleeves are quite wide, you could roll them up and use them as an accent for layering, which I think would be interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActual size chart: Unit cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003ediv.clsmje2w6hv{margin:5px;}div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl table{width:100%;}div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl th.nowrap,div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl td.nowrap{white-space:nowrap;}div.clsmje2w6hv{padding:10px;border:3px solid #ffffff;}div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl th,div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl td{border:1px solid #000000;padding:5px;}div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl th,div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl td{background-color:transparent;}div.clsmje2w6hv{background-color:transparent;}div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl table{border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;table-layout:fixed;}div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl,div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl a{color:#000000;}div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl{font-size:12px;text-align:center;}div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl th,div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl th a{color:;}div.clsmje2w6hv div.tbl th{font-weight:bold;text-align:center;}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clsmje2w6hv\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"tbl\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e34\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e36\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e38\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e42\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e44\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eShoulder width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e45.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e47.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e49.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e51.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e53.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e56.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e68.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e70.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e71.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e72.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e75.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e77.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eBody width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e54.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e56.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e58.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e60.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e63.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e65.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e60.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e62.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e63.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e64.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e66.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e66.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCuff width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e15.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e15.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e15.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e16.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e16.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e17.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TCB Jeans","offers":[{"title":"34","offer_id":46769177067669,"sku":null,"price":29700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"36","offer_id":46769177100437,"sku":null,"price":29700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"38","offer_id":46769177133205,"sku":null,"price":29700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"40","offer_id":46769177165973,"sku":null,"price":29700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"42","offer_id":46769177198741,"sku":null,"price":29700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"44","offer_id":46769177231509,"sku":null,"price":29700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0434\/3116\/6101\/files\/DSC02165.jpg?v=1766230294","url":"https:\/\/store.spiraljeans.jp\/en\/products\/tcb-jeans_sing-sing-cabaret-jacket","provider":"JeansShopSpiral","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
