60's Jeans - Indigo One Wash
TCB - 60's Jeans - Indigo One Wash
You may be asking yourself why Two Cat's Brand (TCB) is so special. Well, beyond all the obvious details, there's a story. This is a brand that truly does what they love. Most things have a rhyme and reason, but sometimes they just create what suits their needs. The vintage, reproduction inspiration behind the brand is clearly visible. They're honoring styles from the '30s-'60s with a few items dating pre-1900's. Sometimes they create fantasy or future (e.g. present) cuts that didn't exist in the past, but the bulk of their work is true reproduction. That's what we went with on this round. You may also be asking, why such a low price compared to other Japanese brands. This is due to the fact that everything besides the milling of the fabric is done in-house. There is no outsourcing for cutting or sewing. In Kojima, the denim capital of Japan sits their vertically integrated factory where they do:
fabric cutting, single stitch sewing, lapping seam sewing, applying buttons and rivets, and much, much more. We are so excited to introduce you to TCB.
TCB is getting more and more traction with each passing day, which makes getting product only that much harder. So, when we do snag some beautiful jeans like this, we get super stoked. The 60's jean is a 13oz exclusive fabric made of 100% San Joaquin Cotton. The more blue indigo and hairiness were a standard of this time period. One of the coolest nerdiest factors of this fabric is that it is produced in the central valley from cotton watered by the purest mountain snowmelt water. Details down to the paper patch being sewn with a good margin in from the edge of the patch so that it curls and rounds with time are what you're going to notice with time. They've even thought about how the old paper patches ripped with time exposing the dark indigo underneath to contrast the fades you've created. They really do it all to match as perfectly as they can the time period from which they pull their jeans. You can see, in comparison to the jeans from the previous decades that the jeans of the '60s have started to become more perfect. The 20 count core-spun yarn and chain stitch work throughout show that.

Fit Notes: This is a tapered fit with a relaxed rise and thigh width. You can see from the pictures that there is plenty of room in the thigh. We are recommending people size up one from their regular fit as the waist tapers pretty heavily towards the top button. The slightly higher rise ensures this.
Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 31 in the pictures. His waist measures between a 32-33". These were super tight in the waist and he would probably size up one for a better fit. We are fully expecting at least an inch of stretch in the waist in these.
Apparel
The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
