  1. Upcoming Freewheelers 2012 Spring Permanent Products.

    Ironall Jacket in "Original Express Stripe" (indigo hickory stripe)

    Steam Donkey Overall in Olive Duck

    Bakehead Work Shirts in grained purple chambray, grained green chambray, and indigo check (cotton/linen)

    Deltablues shirt in brown x gray linen chambray

    Lenny Bruce Hat in black wabash stripe

  2. A good hand wash with warm water will take care of most of the shrinkage. There is no need to hot soak your jean and ruin you leather patch. FC denim may take a couple soaks/handwashes to get all the shrinkage out of the way.

  3. I think Fullcount uses their standard 13.7oz denim for the 1922 model. It does stretch a bit. I would be careful sizing down 2 or even 3, official one wash sizing from FC states that they run pretty true to size.

    This shop sells the one wash version and they indicate waist shrink to tag size as well.

    Edit: Also depends how you wear this too. If you gonna go for the 30s look with suspender and tuck shirt, probably size down one max.

  4. Yeah, the himel jacket is very similar to the Heller’s Café durable brand horsehide jacket. (http://www.ware-house.co.jp/index.php?page=item&ic=42390.)

    I didn’t take any pictures. The freewheelers guy was wearing a leather hat, FW sasquatch vest, gray neal cassady shirt, and some vintage cut denim tuck inside of a 9†black engineering boots. Also wearing a lot of silver bangles. I was at the bottom level browsing through a rack of vintage leather jackets when I felt a tap on my arm. He recognized the FW UPR flannel I was wearing and introduced himself as “a guy from freewheelersâ€. He was checking out all the vintage stuff as well.

  5. I was only there for about three hours on Saturday. A lot of great vintage stuff. I got to talked to David Himel and check out his leather jackets. Really like the black horsehide railman jacket. But the hightlight for me was meeting a guy from Freewheelers.

  6. From Warehouse's blog

  7. I bought them from clever id a few years back. They've been sitting in my closet all this time. This was the first Warren model. Warehouse produced four different versions. Which one do you have?

  8. I use warm water. I find that Warm water + hand wash + 1hr to 1.5 hr soak gets rid of all the starch and the max shrinkage. I use the same method for all my subsequent washes as well except I add soap.

  9. I've contacted Flash and will be the third Warehouse contributor. Since we already have 1001xx and 1000xx denim, I figure I'll wear my Warehouse DD108 with 14oz 1000xx oxidiation denim made of memphis cotton.

    The threads are mainly this muted yellow color which I like quite a bit. The belt loop stitching are furthur apart compare to the recent Warehouse models. The threads used are also thicker compare to the current Warehouse lineup, especially the lower waist chainstitch.

    Warehouse denim up close. A bit hairy.
