TCB - Dude Ranch Shirt - Denim

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.

While at first the sawtooth pocket was a rarity and also foreign to our fashion sense, it quickly grew on us. The western components everpresent in TCB's reproduction techniques show through clear as day in their Dude Ranch Shirts. It may seem simple to some, but the angular nature of the pockets represent the blades of a saw - the saw's teeth. This shirt is filled with endless details, but one we can say we enjoy the most is the 7/32 inch seam width lapping seam in reverence to the vintage style. To pay that much attention to detail on such a small, otherwise unnoticeable aspect of a shirt shows just how much thought goes into their process.
