[TCB jeans "Good Luck Jeans" 10oz Denim]
Good luck jeans from TCB jeans. A special project born from an encounter with vintage collector Viktor Fredback.
2023 is said to be the 150th anniversary of 501. Should TCB make us an 1873 Two Horce too? I was asking myself.
At that time, when I was allowed to film an interview video for the previous Viktor's Voice, he said, "There is a special piece that I dug myself. 』 『Between 1873 and 1890, Levis had a patent, so other brands could not use rivets and included dirt stitching. This is a detail peculiar to this era.” I remember having a conversation with him, “The name is Good Luck.”
TCB, who reviewed the video again, is it good to have a spin-off work that shines a spotlight on other jeans brands that could not use rivets on the 150th anniversary of the birth of rivets? I came to think.
I immediately told Viktor about it, and he readily accepted it, and the project started. All you need is one piece in front of you and Viktor's voice.
Viktor collaborated with fashion archaeologist Brit Eaton to sample an 1880s Boss Of Tha Road denim blouse.
It's rude to Good Luck and Boss Of The Road to write it like this, but when I put the dirt stitch in the production this time, even though I didn't sew it with care at the time, it took many times more effort than the rivet. increase.
In 2023, Riveted jeans in various silhouettes and colors will be worn all over the world. But before today, 150 years ago, the use was locked by a patent, and if everyone laughs when they know that there was such jeans in the background, Good Luck Jeans, which has been in the sun for the first time in 150 years, will be happy. I should be able to.
Viktor told us. Jeans that are now here in my Good Luck. TCB's Good Luck can make it happen again. I hope everyone will have good luck by getting this Good Luck Jeans. That's what I'm talking about.
denim
The denim fabric used this time uses Indian cotton. The dye itself is also rope-dyed with Indian indigo.
10oz fabric with 10th warp and 12th weft is used. It is characterized by a lot of unevenness in the warp threads, and when the color starts to fade, the lines appear violently.
silhouette
Sampling from the 1870s, it may have an image of being rather thick and unfashionable, but in terms of thickness, it is rather sleek.
It is slightly roomy, but the rise is not too deep and the silhouette is not too thick.
detail
The cloth patch is made of linen, and when you put it on, the print will rub off like Vintage. The design of this patch does not include the word TCB.
In addition, although it is a model in the era when there were no belt loops yet, this patch is sewn in a single stroke when sewing the stitches on the lower part of the obi.
It can be imagined that the number of times the thread is cut increases = the production efficiency decreases.
Dirt stitching, which can be said to be the biggest feature, enters 4 places on the front. A back pocket with a very distinctive design.
The back side of the cinch strap is lined with white fabric, and it can be seen that the careful work of the time was done.
The buttons also use iron buttons with reference to vintage. Since it is iron, you can enjoy the best texture when rust is mixed.
