the durability as much as possible but these prison uniforms were originally clothings not intended for sale.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe stitching is just simply applied without the edge of the fabrics overlocked.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThey were simply sewn from the inside out with a plain stitch.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eI struggled to decide how to make them at TCB, but this time I decided to use a plain stitch with fringed seams.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWe have retained a realistic roughness that gives you a sense of the atmosphere of the time.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe same goes for the design.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThere are no pockets to hide anything.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWe thought that this would be a bit inconvenient outside the prison walls, so TCB added pockets on our take.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe cuffs are also very wide, about 19cm.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePerhaps this is also to prevent hiding things.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eI considered leaving this part as it is, but I prioritized the silhouette and ease of everyday wear,and adjusted the width.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnother thing that impressed me was the cut pattern.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAlthough the overall construction is rough, the stripe pattern on the front body is strangely perfectly aligned.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eI thought, \"This is the only detail they've put effort into,\" and when I looked more closely, I realized that it's actually a one-piece design with the bodice parts connected at the front and back.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt was only natural that the stripe pattern would match (laughs).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe result was a jacket with a surprisingly simple construction: one bodice, two sleeves, and one collar.Indeed, it's nothing but a clothing for prisoners to wear, not for sale.\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFor TCB, who have customers all over the world, this project is more than just a reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThrough the subject of prison uniforms, it is an attempt to reinterpret universal themes such as freedom, responsibility, and identity as fashion.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLike denim, uniforms also contain proof that a person has lived.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThat's what TCB believes.That's why we want to send this clothing to the world not as a negative symbol, but rather as a positive message symbolizing the strength in the pursuit of freedom.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e TCB Jeans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chambray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Denim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tcbjeans.myshopify.com\/products\/pre-order-sing-sing-cabreat-jacket\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eView at retailer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TCB Jeans","offers":[{"title":"34","offer_id":52991711772951,"sku":"52616887304499","price":264.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/5994\/1143\/files\/L1002281_bac6d44b-7378-40c9-9250-859c5c2e12bb.jpg?v=1777595649","url":"https:\/\/therightgarment.com\/products\/tcb-jeans-sing-sing-cabaret-jacket-10oz-10305824489751","provider":"The Right Garment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
