TCB - Wool Lined Type I Jacket - Rinsed Indigo

Launching Saturday, March 12th at 1pm EST

TCB has worked so hard on this jacket, which made us want to support it even more. They've custom-developed this blanket liner, or should we say two different blanket liners, to repro this Type I as close as possible. The two front panels are a lighter, almost faded-looking version of the sleeves and back panels. We saw them wearing these beauties inside out, and it sunk its claws in. 

In this version of the blanket lined jacket, they decided to go with a type I that they realized was originally produced just before they changed to the Type I in 52. The two-tone wool liner is most likely a "batch-to-batch" detail which makes it an extremely rare find. It truly blows us away that TCB would go to these lengths of production to reproduce such an incredible detail. To create two different batches of striped wool is dedication. 

For the front body, the stripe pitch is wider and the color is lighter. On the other hand the back body stripe is narrower and the color is deeper. The yarn count of the warp is as follows: 20/ single thread and of the weft is 10/ triple thread.

They decided to use our 30's fabric for this jacket. It's the closest to the repro, and they wanted to give customers an opportunity to buy what they consider one of the top denims they've ever made. The 30's denim is made of Memphis cotton and the yarn count for both the warp and weft is 8, making the fabric 12.5oz in weight. The single sleeve detail was by no means easier or more cost-effective and confounds TCB about the original. In true TCB spirit, they reproduced it anyway. 

We know there are a ton of details, but the hardware can not be missed. This slide buckle has been made of steel, plated with copper, then oxidized to get the black color. Then, they rub them with sawdust to get the matte look. It's freaking wild to be honest. This plating is built to rub off and get rusted in a red/black manner. 

This piece was a pre-order, and we think very few if any other retailers ordered it. We may be the only people on the planet who got access to this incredible, incredible jacket. They are limited and therefore, once they're gone...they're gone forever.

Fit Notes: This type I jacket is sized higher, but it fits fairly well if you look at how it scales. We avoided the small sizes, and treat the 40 as a small. Tommy is wearing the size 42, or medium and it fits spot on. He's 5'10," 162lbs with 40" chest.
