TCB New Releases & Restocks

Sep 14

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, lap seam sewing, applying buttons and rivets, and much, much more.

60’s Jeans - Indigo One-Wash - $185

TCB is getting more and more traction with each passing day, which makes getting product only that much harder. So, when we do snag some beautiful jeans like this, we get super stoked. The 60's jean is a 13oz exclusive fabric made of 100% San Joaquin Cotton. The more blue indigo and hairiness were a standard of this time period. One of the coolest nerdiest factors of this fabric is that it is produced in the central valley from cotton watered by the purest mountain snowmelt water. Details down to the paper patch being sewn with a good margin in from the edge of the patch so that it curls and rounds with time are what you're going to notice with time. They've even thought about how the old paper patches ripped with time exposing the dark indigo underneath to contrast the fades you've created. They really do it all to match as perfectly as they can the time period from which they pull their jeans. You can see, in comparison to the jeans from the previous decades that the jeans of the '60s have started to become more perfect. The 20 count core-spun yarn and chain stitch work throughout show that.

30’s Denim Apron - $90

These are the coolest overalls we've ever laid eyes on. To start, they have a split leg that allows you to really work in them. The apron is built to get shit done. Well, this one actually stand-ups to that motto becuase it allows you to be mobile. To make it even better, they slapped on these beautiful green workwear bar tacks. It has a utility loop on the left side, and the icing on the cake is the beautiful green selvedge ticker running across the top of the pockets. Then you look at the sides and you see an orange ticker on the left and green ticker on the right. The details are absolutely insane.

60’s Jeans Fit Notes: This is a tapered fit with a relaxed rise and thigh width. You can see from the pictures that there is plenty of room in the thigh. We are recommending people size up one from their regular fit as the waist tapers pretty heavily towards the top button. The slightly higher rise ensures this.

Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 31 in the pictures. His waist measures between a 32-33". These were super tight in the waist and he would probably size up one for a better fit. We are fully expecting at least an inch of stretch in the waist in these.
