Where it’s made: Proudly made in Kojima, Japan, by the TCB crew
What it’s made from: 100% Memphis cotton, 12.5oz selvedge denim, warp and weft yarns both #8
Fit description: Vintage boxy 1920s silhouette with cinch-back adjuster
A standout reproduction from the early days of American workwear, the TCB 20’s Jacket is based on an original 1922 vintage garment owned by TCB. This was a transitional period in denim history—belt loops had just begun to appear, yet many garments still used suspenders and cinch-backs for adjustment.
Woven exclusively for this model, the 12.5oz selvedge denim is made from 100% Memphis cotton, chosen by TCB for its dry, irregular texture and incredible fading potential. Both warp and weft yarns are #8 count, producing a slightly uneven, deep indigo fabric that ages like the real thing. A wider white selvedge line—typical of pre-1930s production—is faithfully reproduced by adding 8 extra threads to the selvedge edge.
Key details include:
– Two-prong cinch back from SOLIDE
– Die-cast buttons moulded directly from a vintage specimen
– Belt loops made from a different fabric, just like early add-ons were in the 1920s
Every piece is cut, sewn, and finished in-house at TCB’s Kojima factory using vintage sewing machines and techniques true to the era.
A pure piece of denim history—interpreted with respect and built to fade.

The denim fabric used to make these jeans is pre-washed, but you can still expect them to shrink a little in both the waist measurement and leg length on first wash at home. Also, they run small in the waist even by TCB standards, so take a look at the measurements below and consider sizing up.
