ガチャPOCKET

私はワークウエアでも1920-30年代に見られる左右非対称なデザインが大好きです。
古着屋さんでは通称ガチャポケと呼ばれる奴です。
大戦明けからは徐々に左右対称になっていくのはもちろん作りやすいから。
そんなガチャポケでも大好きなブランドの一つがUNCLESAM
一見シンプルなポケットですが二重構造になっててBIG YANKとは違う形でタバコが湿気ない構造になってます。
TCBではシャツを作る事が極端に少ないのでカバーオールのガチャポケばかり注目してましたがシャツに目を向けるとまだまだ素敵なアイデアに溢れています。
そういえば明日2/22はCATS DAY IG LIVE企んでます。

I love many details of vintage work wears but if I had to choose my favorite I would say the asymmetry pocket design on jackets/shirts is definitely one of them. Maybe you might have noticed my preference if you have know TCB for some time.

After the 40s, the asymmetry pocket design started to disappear because it’s just easier and more efficient to use the same pocket for the left and right, you know. We’ve referred to the pocket design of Uncle Sam on this new coat. The look is simple but it has the dual pocket.Not sure why people back then wanted to have this kind of dual pocket but it’s said that one of the reason why is to keep cigarettes away from sweat. The previous TCB shop coat, Tabby’s Coat, had the swinging pocket of Big Yank and that’s designed so for the same reason.

We will be releasing this new coat on the IG live tomorrow.
