We've decided to renew the S40's Jacket, which we've been making for the past five years. At the time, the theme was to take inspiration from vintage styles, but to offer a more comfortable fit by shortening the length and slimming the armholes. However, as time passed and we re-examined the vintage style, we decided we wanted to create an S40's jacket with the same silhouette. The new S40's jacket has the same length, width, and sleeve angle as the vintage version. The fabric is the same, so if you already own a pair of S40's jeans, you can wear them together. Of course, some people will say they loved the previous silhouette, and others will say, "We've been waiting for this!" In baseball, a home run is 100% a home run no matter who sees it. But one of the fun things about making clothes is that the line between a home run and a strikeout isn't always clear. That's why we at TCB believe it's important to continue to throw what we consider to be the "best strike ball." ----------------- We've finally made something we had the biggest expectations about. When Hajime Inoue started TCB back in 2012, he was more fond of the standard vintages like 1955 model, 66 model but as he's got more skilled at making jeans and more knowledgeable about how to faithfully reproduce vintages, he started to find more beauty in the imperfections. The simplified models are full of sketchy work and far from perfect finish but are full of history and story behind. Jeans- the cut, the construction and every tiny detail is faithfully reproduced from the original S501XX.
