TCB - Ranchman Shirt - Chambray Blue

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. 

By studying examples of western shirts from 40's, TCB has modified the silhouette of this shirt to be slightly slimmer. This doesn't mean they got rid of the details from the past. With the slimmer shape, the shirts are easy to mix and match for layering.

• 6.5oz Vintage Blue Chambray
• Universal Dot Buttons w/Silver Lip Shell
• Sewn on vintage Union Special for Puckering and Fading
• Period Correct Lapping Seams on the V-Shaped Yoke
• Woven Label with LongHorn inspiration (long ears in this case)

The chambray is woven with low-tension and very slowly by vintage looms for the natural unevenness on the surface. This is exactly what TCB views as the best aspect of vintage shirts.
