Got the TCB 40’s jacket
Nice denim and pretty well put together
The T back is a nice feature on the larger sizes
I had a 44 which I am selling if anyone interested and settled on the 46 in the picture
Will try some of there jeans next

Kann mir jemand eine Webkantenjeans empfehlen, die im Aufstieg eine hohe Taille hat und nicht teuer ist und sich gut trägt.

Personally I would suggest the Lee 1943 WWII denim. If they're anything like other Lee Japan Archives denim, they are perfect copy cut repro's in killer hard wearing denim, and a good price. You can see 'em in the link below

Stanier thanks for your input most appreciated ,how ever I need a 38 inch waist and they only go up to 36" .I must say you are a real sleuth when it comes to finding jeans very impressed . I really hate this current crop of low waist-ed jeans on offer the ones I have at home I just want to put in the dumpster ,there like a pair of glasses that do not fit annoying .

No I get that for sure, which is why I am so hacked off with how Levis have gone
Check Denimio as they might have TCB for less
Have to say those Bronson look ok...I haven’t checked waist sizes on TCB or that Bronson link though BIP

Sugar Cane 47's might be what you're looking for. Ok, not WWII but should be able to meet your price point and size and incredible denim. Far, far superior to the LVC namesake.

Keep an eye out on ebay, Facebook and Instagram for guys selling Valencia St 555 LVC. Every now and then, some nice denim still comes up at not crazy prices.Five years ago I bought these unwashed tagged LVC 555 '37 Cone Mills 201's dry with tags for $120 and have worn the hell of of them. No blown out crotch and worn pocket bags. The denim does not give up fades easily and wears like iron, unlike a lot of current Japanese denim. If you can find old LVC Japan, even better.

You always manage to make your pieces look so cool in your pics Grant. The 555 201's are such nice jeans. I had a pair and they were lovely. The only snag I found is that they were seriously undersized. I had a pair tagged 36 waist and hoped they'd be around 34 but when they arrived they were pretty much a 32 waist and I had to move them on the end. You got a great result with that pair!
