Summer, 1998.
Before I jumped into the denim world, I used to work at a large shipyard in my hometown.
It was a workplace filled with the smell of sweat, sea salt, and paint thinner.

Even now, it's a pretty intense place to remember.
I once dropped a wrench into the sea while working at a high place, and my boss got furious. Also, I remember playing Titanic with a tough-guy-looking colleague on the bow of a ship, which now is  a bittersweet memory.

This time, TCB has created a new design based on 1930s Frisco Pants with suspender buttons.
My first question was, what exactly is Frisco? And what is the meaning behind those distinctive front pockets?
Upon investigation, I discovered that Frisco is one of the old names for San Francisco.
Rather than a refined name, it felt like a word encompassing the port city, laborers, and the rough atmosphere of the West Coast.

Gold Rush.
Ports.
Railways. 
Workers who carry goods, do tough work, drink a lot.
Small towns that prosper around infrastructure works.

More than the name of a neatly maintained city, it's a name that evokes the smell of dust and sweat for me.
Continuing researching about the origin of Frisco and the work pants, I encountered the word "Dock Worker.", a port worker.
Just hearing it, I initially mistook it for "Dog Worker."
Dock Worker. Dog Worker.
From there,
"If that's the case, then TCB could be called Cat Worker Pants," and my usual cat-pun began.

And another thing that caught my attention was the shape of the front pocket.The unique, large, round opening is apparently called a frogmouth pocket.
Easy to put your hands in and easy to take out tools and small items. More than just a design choice, it's a shape created for workers.
Thinking about it that way, these pants suddenly connected with my memories.

If I had been wearing these Frisco Pants back in 1998, when I was working at the port, I might not have dropped the wrench from the ship and gotten yelled at by my boss.
No, I probably still would have been yelled at for other mistakes, haha.But if I had used suspender buttons to hold the pants up, my impersonation of Leonardo DiCaprio's Titanic scene at the bow of the ship would have definitely been more accurate and fun.  These pants are a TCB interpretation based on 1930s Frisco Pants.From port worker's pants to Cat Worker Pants.

□Fabric
The fabric is a TCB original, designed based on the vintage Frisco pants we own.
Both the warp and weft threads use a straight 7-count single yarn blended with high-quality American cotton. Left-hand twill weave. It has a firm, substantial feel, yet is finished to be comfortable and easy to wear from the first wear. For the finishing touches, we use a brushing machine made by MARIO CROSTA of Italy. Instead of shaving the surface like typical paper brushing, this process raises the fibers gently, creating a soft, fluffy texture and a natural look. A nice feature is that it has a slightly vintage feel right from the start. The dyeing is done using sulfur dyeing. As you wear them, the color will fade, creating fading and puckering, allowing you to enjoy the aging process characteristic of work pants.
