The TCB Faded S40s Jeans in a 13.5oz Indigo Denim, have been masterfully distressed to create an authentic pair as if you've owned this for years of wear. Even if you love the idea of personally faded denim, it's hard to look past the beauty that this piece exudes. Part of the "Fat Cat Records" series, these jeans are modeled after the real-life fades achieved by TCB founder Hajime Inoue, meticulously recreated by the skilled artisans at Bito Co. in Kojima. The process involves hand-scraping, grinding, and multiple washes with calculated ratios of pumice stones to ensure that the whiskers and honeycombs look natural across all sizes. The S40's jeans are a reproduction of late 1940s WWII-era jeans, with its flannel pockets being one of the unique markers of this style, and feature a regular straight cut, with a medium-to-high rise that should accommodate most body types.
Please note that like most of TCB's denim, these have a significant leg twist; if this type of thing bothers you we would recommend looking at other denim.
Note: Generally runs smaller than the standard Late S40's due to the intensive fading and washing process; we recommend sizing up one to two full sizes from your typical TCB size to achieve a comfortable fit. Due to the rinse and wash process, no shrinkage expected. Recommend cold wash, hang-dry.
Model: 6'0" and 175 lbs, wearing size 32 for a very snug fit in the waist and snug fit through the thighs. This is a bit too snug for model, and he would definitely prefer going up to a size 33.
