My pair of cloth patched M41001's arrived this afternoon. They definitely seem rigid and deadstock from 1997 with the shrink-to-fit sticker still attached. There was no cardboard flasher though. Was there one at some point or did this model not have one? I was in a bit of a hurry, but I tried to snap a few detail shots for posterity's sake. I plan to shrink these when a get a chance (either this weekend or in a few weeks). Let me know if there are any others that you'd like me to snap beforehand or if there are any that you would like a more ca refully focused shot of. Photo resolution should be better if you click on the image. I have raw measurements as well and will post before and after fit photos and measurements once they're shrunk16 points

So, I've looked again into the different types of denim by WH for the years 30-50s. Besides the well known banner (7x7, ca. 13.5/13.75oz) and Memphis cotton denim (6x6, 14.5oz) there are at least three different other ones. 1. The new denim, WWII denim. I think, this was first introduced with the 25th anniversary pair S1001XX (1946) (perhaps earlier?). This denim is not DSB and has an orange selvedge. It's 6.7x6.6, ca. 14oz. And quite coarse. The relatively recent Duck Digger Lot S1003XX (1944 MODEL) (with the flannel pocket bags) is also of that denim. 1946 model: 1944 model: 2. Then there are two DSB. Both have a pink selvedge. I guess, the idea is, that same as the denim has changed by oxidation in the decades of the storage, the selvedge lines have also changed. Same with the tab, which is also pink in some pairs. The suffix (1000XX) seems to indicate DSB. For jackets (2000XX). a) the lighter one 7.5x7.5 ca. 13oz Used for example for the 1953 and 1954 pairs. Also for the Lot.2001XX(2000XX) blanket lined jacket and the 1936 model. b) the heavier one 6.7x6.6, ca. 14oz. The Lot S1003XX(1000XX)【1942MODEL】is made of this denim. 1942 model:12 points

Levis definitely has more reach than just the repro/heritage/whatever folks so maybe 800 is limited and will sell out quickly in their eyes? But that price tag would definitely turn off some prospective buyers...3 points

My old, worn 1101s from 2017 and new (to me) one-wash 0106s (produced in 2018 but recently acquired). Both size 31 and 13.7oz denim. The 1101s have had 2 rounds of crotch repairs, the arcs have completely disintegrated and they’re now relegated to dog walking duties - note the short welly fades on the lower legs. They’re probably the slimmest fitting jeans I’ve worn in years. The 0106s aren’t seen that often, they’re supposed to be a wider cut than the 0105s but they seem pretty similar all round to me, other than the offset rear belt loop and perhaps wider back pockets. I have a pair of raw 0105XX too with arcs and tabs, so I’ll try to give them a proper comparison. The 0106s will need a little off the length.3 points

You may have more luck finding a longer Type 2 than Type 1 as there are more modern cuts available in that style.2 points

Lovely! If you could show a photo of the waist being measured with a tape while raw, then again when washed and update the post in a month or so's time with post stretch measurement, i would really appreciate it .. Thx!2 points

Every new pair from Ooe is my new favorite pair of jeans ever, and this time is no exception. Sized up to 40 as my size 38s have been a bit tight, and it's the perfect fit. Like my WOMCON's but tightened up in all the right areas. Will be hard not wearing these during the contest, but these will probably be my main jeans overall the next 10+ years they're that good for me.1 point

I don’t know any of the actual measurements, but TCB and Sugar Cane both tend to make longer jackets1 point

Sometimes LVC limited edition jeans are limited to 501 pairs for obvious reasons. I’ve seen them limited to 300 too. Perhaps they think 201 (which matches the model) is too low, so they’ve come up with an arbitrary number or added the 501 to the 300 and rounded it down!1 point

The slings are actually complicated bags - the standard and smaller sizes both have about 14~16 pieces of leather and a LOT of saddle stitching in relation to their volume Stitching is where the time is taken, that’s why you’ll see on commercial products the work is done by machine; or smaller businesses who do want to truly claim hand made but still look for ‘profit’ will look to use a design that has much less sewing (folding/glueing/rivets) and perhaps employ low SPI where sewing is still necessary1 point

I was trying to hold out until the three month mark for a wash, but we went to a ren fest yesterday and got rained on. So the jeans were just too grungy. Jeans are out drying in the sun now, I'll get some post wash pictures this weekend.1 point

Hey all. Here are my Warehouse 1101, worn regularly for about 18 months I think. Gotta love how the Banner denim evolves. I began wearing them a little before my eldest son was born in 2017 and discovered a whole new world of knee fades upon his arrival 😌… Jumping forward a few years, I’ve started wearing them again recently so will aim to get better shots of them on here later down the line.1 point
