A comfy Sunday outfit!

TCB 50s type 2 jacket paired with TCB 50s baker pants in olive! Sprinkled with some SJ shirt and Vans slipons

Some lifetimes ago I was in a dark patch and had an hard time finding myself out.
Art always helped me express and cope with big emotions.
And at that time I stumbled on an artist that inspired me to create! A safe place to collect my then chaotic mind.
Unfortunately I have forgot the name of her, but this was my take after being totally devoured by her art.
A mix of her and my own creativity. My wellbeing eventually changed for the better, and the need to finishing it faded.
But it still kind of represents a part of my journey to where I am today. Finished or unfinished… I’ve come to terms that some things just needs to be left the way they are️

@Kjunx congrats man! New Label was a really neat touch

@tvaillant75 I would say ever so slightly maybe, not the biggest difference in chest for me. By size chart the chest width on a size 42 is supposed to be 22,5” pit-to-pit.

And if I measure it now, it’s 56cm pit-to-pit that’s equivalent to 22,04”

And I never measured it to begin with so can’t say for sure exactly how much it may have shrunk in chest. But maybe a little if I trust the chart, that say it’s 22,5” and it’s now 22,04”

So maybe expect some “shrinkage” in the chest. But shouldn’t be so much. At least not for me, the biggest change was by far the arms length

@twin thanks you sir! Trying to wear them every single day! Did my first soak two days ago, never thought they would become even stiffer then what they were brand new. Quickly changed back. But they truly felt like body armor when I first put them on again!

Really like these🫶

@tvaillant75 trust me, I was in the same situation. Living in the northern part of Sweden we have no shop that even sell resemble jackets.. so I asked a lot of people, measured a million times. And paired that with elaborating all thoughts with TJ. He is the man, and gladly helps out the best he can!🥰

So from all the people helping me, I’m glad if I can repay in any shape or form if I can🫶

@tvaillant75 You can kind of see where the arms stops at my hands. On the left picture the jacket is brand new, I think the same day I got it. And the right picture is from now. Almost a year of wear. And you can see it’s significantly shorter in the arms.

@tvaillant75 yeah it ”shrunk” or formed quite significantly from being brand new.

At least in my experience. Because the slightly heavy/stiff horsehide the creases in the arms stay in place. They became shorter for sure. Even if the jacket just hanging on a hanger, the arms are slightly bend and the creases are there.
And the total length also formed to my body and kind of shrunk too. Not nearly as much as the arms. But it changed alot for me. So buying a horsehide jackets slightly snug to begin with, is potentially not the best idea.
Mine felt bigger in the beginning and form “smaller”. So it kind of became perfect for me.

I often wear it open, with a denim shirt or hoodie. I can’t wear both layer under, it’s then too tight and feel restricted. But I didn’t buy it for many layering.

TJ helped a ton for me figuring out the right size for me. He is very good to elaborate on sizes, ideas and any concerns. I would totally send him a DM

@paulmtg I’m typically a size Large in the shirts and denim jackets from Iron Heart.

My chest circumference is 102cm =40,15 inches.

I could have chosen the Y2 chore in a size 44 too if I wanted more room for layering. But for me and what I wanted the size 42 is snug and nice

@FlavourFade yes sir, had a initial plan to start with a soak. But I opted for a slightly smaller fit and was worried for too much shrink. So ended up waiting, and that wait went on a little longer then planned hehe!

So now I feel comfortable doing a real soak or wash. Just been to eager to wear them and haven’t prioritized the time lately

My 666XHSib, been wearing them since 27 January

It truly is @mmerkle ! TCB are great! And this jacket exceeds any expectations I hoped it would🥰

Thanks @denim-dawg I appreciate it much🥰 it’s really cool! And I just continue to like it more and more each day

Man, this jacket is cool!
