Warehouse

[Bobbo]

Fit looks very good mate, you'll get used to the extra room faster than you might think. Congrats on a great piece of denim and welcome to the Warehouse family. 

[garden gnomes in space]

yup, looks fantastic.  embrace the looser fit.  

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Have to agree with everybody here: they fit you very nicely on those pics! 

And with some more wear and future washed they might tighten up in the thighs

[Coolguyzack]

Those details are so cool! You picked up a really unique and interesting pair. I love the front pockets especially. And the fit looks sweet from where I'm sitting.

[aho]

Cucoo, that is an ideal fit for that pair of jeans...They will continue to shrink here and there as all denim does but one couldn't ask for a better fit!

[Cucoo]

Thanks! Regarding more shrinkage, I plan to wash these regularly (like every 30 wears or so) so it should sort itself out. Going unwashed doesn't seem a good idea since AFAIK these are cotton stitched. Plus, this is definitely not a cut for high contrast fades

[bradl]

Also once everything settles into place, it will look even better. But good pickup, never seen someone rocking them so will be cool to see them evolve

[redragon]

Agree with everybody above me, quite solid fit, like the detailing (not too sure about the crotch reinforcement but thats just me).

You will surely enjoy it.

[nycsurfer530]

CUCOO, I'm loving that fit.

 

Here's my 800s, around 6 months lots of washing, the threads are starting to wear out a little. I'm loving them

have any of you tried the motor jeans made by warehouse? the chinos also from motor im sure theyre made by wh too...

[S-Town]

Curious if anyone can shed some light on what the descriptions are saying about the new 1000?  What are they saying by upside-down center belt loop?  And what are they saying here:

 

Warehouse listed the "pursuit of defunct detail only" in concept, lot number to faithfully reproduce the vintage jeans but is "1001", models that have been listed in order to exceed it in every part is "1000" .

 

They look pretty badass.  I've stared at the center belt loop, trying to figure out how it's upside-down :-).

[aho]

S-Town, which page are you referencing? They say they're "light ounce belt loops" but I'm not sure where the upside down part is coming in?

[S-Town]

Sorry about that, it's their main "Basic" page:  http://info.ware-house.co.jp/basic.html

 

This is the full translation that I'm seeing:

 

Warehouse listed the "pursuit of defunct detail only" in concept, lot number to faithfully reproduce the vintage jeans but is "1001", models that have been listed in order to exceed it in every part is "1000" . Fabric, sewing, this top of what can be challenging because exhausted to study the vintage in silhouette, such as this until the "oxidation denim" "Light ounce belt loop", "sewing when the hidden rivets", has created a number of hit word. And now, I will be re-hoisted as embodying the best part number with strong Zara with "strength twisted denim". Its specifications, and sewn the folding of the back pocket dare to look like the end of the dough, processing as fabric rag comes out along with the fall colors. Furthermore, it is incorporate only the like put in upside down (have dichroic stitch is reversed) center belt loop, a rare specification at the time as the "secret ingredient".

[aho]

^My bad I missed that! They're referring to the stitch color; you'll notice the other loops have orange and yellow from left to right, however the center back loop is yellow orange! 

[S-Town]

Thanks man!  That was driving me crazy.  I honestly don't think I would have ever noticed that in a million years.  I like the detail though.

[edmond]

warehouse ss15  you will see some blended denim 60/40 denim and linen  awesome hairiness of the fabric.. stay tuned!

[edmond]

[Sugar Mountain]

Are you in Japan at the moment Ed? Was half expecting you to show for the RRL party in HKG earlier this week.

[aho]

Glad to hear about them experimenting with different fabrics...Unfortunately, it's an excuse for me to buy another pair :/

[aho]

BTW ed, any word on any Lee X Warehouse? They haven't done a pair in quite some time, I think I need to finally make the investment...

[edmond]

hi simon! no im in manila! yeah was  invited but couldnt go ;(

 

 

aho. nah man not profitbaly good for wh.. i think

[chicote]

Came across this magazine in Uwajimaya today (not sure of the title):

 

 

 

With a 20+ page feature on Copper King!! (now part of Warehouse)

 

 

Plenty of wonderful historic details scattered throughout this feature. You can tell the writers did an awful lot of research!

 

 

My favorite feature: a comprehensive look at every element of Copper King denim throughout the years (click for larger size)

 

 

If anyone knows more about this magazine, I'd be very interested to know! As my Japanese is next to nonexistent, I don't have much use for it besides looking at the pictures... I am happy to ship it out to anyone who is interested in reading it!

I have that issue; it was printed by Mono. Lots of great photos, especially the Copper King feature with all the comparisons of button designs, patches, etc. back to the Can't Bust 'Em days.

[setterman]

Hearing 20th Anniv models won't be until later in 2015, so I'm going to be a little late starting the DWC.  Guess that's okay, will give me more time with the current rotation (1003XX, FC 0105, LVC 551ZXX).

BTW ed, any word on any Lee X Warehouse? They haven't done a pair in quite some time, I think I need to finally make the investment...

I've also been longing for a pair of Lee x Warehouse for some time. Happy to say I finally acquired a pair.

I'm not as familiar with the various iterations of the 101B as the 501, but I love all the details on these 1936s.

(Stupid mobile version won't let me insert images)

[setterman]

Very nice. One I regret missing.

[PeterParker]

I assumed that all Leepros were LHT, but looking at these, they appear to be RHT. Am I off my rocker?
