TCB - Black Cat Jacket - Brown Canvas

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.

They've created this black cat jacket in reverence of a vintage chore jacket from TCB archives. The asymmetrical pocket shapes and the raglan sleeves are often seen as the primary features for this type of jacket from the '20s.

The fabric is made of 100% cotton and it is 11.2 OZ brown duck.
In order to stabilize the quality of the fabric, they've selected to use the fabric made of a blend of American- grown and Australia-grown cotton.

They have analyzed a vintage duck jacket from 50's and have succeeded to make a unique, unsaforized fabric with heavy unevenness remaining on the surface for texture. In addition, TCB has chosen to dye the fabric without mercerization and as a result, the fabric has a very natural feeling and color. This will create the best fades, one of the most important parts of TCB's story.
