TCB 505

I’ve bought a pair of TCB 505 one-wash jeans. I needed a pair of dark raw denim, wanted a regular fit. I’m somewhat disappointed, because these feel more like a slim fit, after having worn a bit roomier trousers. But I was afraid the 22cm leg opening of the 1947 501s would be too large. After having worn these (their opening is 20.5cm) for a couple of days I don’t think that at all, and wondering if I should’ve bought those. (I do love the cat patch on these, though :D) So I’m asking for a fit check from you. The jeans are a bit snug in the top block when sitting, but I think (I hope) they’ll stretch there a bit with time. Here are some pictures with various footwear. +1: how do you think they look with sport coats? Are they too slim or fine? +2 The fabric at the top of the zip looks weird, standing out a bit, I think it’s visible in the pictures. Not sure if because of the zipper pushing it out, I’ll try and iron it in place. Sorry for the long post and many pictures.

yeah definitely slim straight, fits you well though. Tiny bit snug in the top block but that should loosen up. If you flip the pull on the zipper that might help with the fabric issue. Looks fine with the first sportcoat, second is too matchy matchy for me

Flip the pull, so it’s on the inside of the zipper (closer to my body)?
