Cat Worker Pants by TCB JEANS
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.

These pants have a unique vintage look that feels authentic. The suspender buttons and front pockets give them a strong workwear vibe. I wear them for casual outings and they stand out in a crowd. The fit is comfortable and the fabric holds up well to daily wear.

I was drawn to the design because of its connection to shipyard history. The Frisco reference adds a cool backstory. The pants are well made and have a rugged yet stylish appearance. A bit stiff at first, but breaks in nicely after a few wears.
