After working for a tailor in Hiroshima as a teenage, and seeing the custom jeans being made for customers, Hajime Inoue decided to learn to make jeans. To this end he moved to Kojima in Okayama prefecture to work in a denim factory. In 2008, he left to form his own factory, and eventually, his own brand TCB. Contrary to the popular interpretation, TCB means "Two Cats Brand", as Inoue loves cats, and always has two.
The 505 is a late-60s fit with a narrow tapered fit with a medium high-rise. A paper patch, 100% cotton thread, and a dead stock Talon zipper complete the repro details on these. They're sewn up from a soft, long-staple San Joaquin Valley cotton, which is dyed and woven to Inoue's spec in Ibara City, Japan. The color is true to 1960's Levi's in a lighter blue than the XX denim used up until the 1950's.
These run small, size up. Minimal shrink with a cold wash and hang dry.
