I always thought the same , the style seemed to go with the other Take5 ( HK shop ) that I've seen 

Those 37's look great,  only thing I'm not keen on is the donut button 

We’re the neputa not made by Warehouse ? ( I may be mixing them up with another brand ) 

I think the jeans are released periodically throughout the season because the S/S is already in stores as far as I know 

Both my pairs ended up at just over 31 after 2 hot washes and a bit of a tumble dry  

Chucks and jackstars

Anyone else hate starting a new pair of jeans ? 

I've tried the new warehouse i got on a few times and every time I wear them I'm missing my old worn in Conners ( don't worry I'm not going to sell them ..... again ) . I love the warehouse but its just I prefer wearing faded denim 

Some really nice stuff coming for f/w

Glad your happy with them mate 

Well it seems warehouse have answered my wish and there doing a reproduction of the early war ( hair on hide ) Lee 

That it is mate 

those buzz were actually really close apart from the pocket shape and patch ( as you mentioned )

...the saga continues, here's another contender Ryan, not the hair on patch.. and not quite the pocket shape you're after but damn close..

 

Thanks mate , seen those on my hunting ..... lovely pair of jeans but just not what I’m after . It’s those lovely rounded pockets that really make them special for me

I wasn't being critical, i think jeans still have a future as something for keeping your legs in, but these larger wallets have a pouch for change and a flap for notes, they'll last a lifetime but serve very little purpose the way society is heading regarding cash.

No mate , didn't think you were .... I just didn't want to come off as being critical 

I'd rather buy a cheap velcro one and have the £1000 in it 

But each to there own I guess , we cant be all that critical when we look at what  all of us on  here spend there money on

I know the differences may be minimal, but which jacket do you prefer @Flash or is that a contentious issue?

I'm not quite sure mate , there both awesome in there own right . 

I love the fit on the ww2 for its boxy fit and the room for heavy sweats but I also love the tighter fitting 46 because I love the contrast when wearing looser fitting jeans

The ww2 wins as far as denim and details though ( love the simplicity) but then again the 46 also has some great little things like the shirt weight denim lining the pocket flap 

So it's kind of a 6 of one ... half a dozen of the other type thing 

Yeah that's what I thought mate , thanks 

Am I right in thinking that if ordering directly from Warehouse the state full value on the customs form ? 

Love the felled outseam,  the denim reminds me of amoskeag denim

Wished my boy liked wearing jeans. Right now he’ll only wear sweatpants

The denim is actually pretty soft , I definitely dont want Jack to be wearing super stiff starchy denim so I hand washed them with a little soap to remove most of the starch . I can understand about the sweatpants though  

Cool , bring it along the next time we meet up for a pint mate

Just an FYI..

The centre back belt loop was moved to the offset position in 1958 then was returned to centre position 1966.

The cardstock patch wasn't introduced until 1959 at the earliest, and the words Every garment guaranteed were removed from the patch in late 1961.

Is this info from the little japanese book mate ? I was mainly using the 501xx book for reference , crazy how much the dates can change from book to book .

The dreaded flat lay .....

But they dont fit jack and I thought it was a cool pic . Be a good few years before these all fit but I know he will look awesome when they do 

Not much going on today , weathers a bit weird .... snowing one minute and sun splitting the trees the next so I took some pics of some 503zxx 

Ok so starting at the top .

They feature a card patch without "every garment guaranteed" so that puts them post 62 and since the middle belt loop moved back to the centre just after 63 , these must have been made sometime in 1963 

Middle .

So these have a leather patch with off centre belt loop , that means they have to be post 54 but before the change to card patch in around 57 . So these were made anytime between 1954 - 57

Bottom 

These are the earliest pair I own , the centre belt loop and the leather patch put them somewhere between 1953-54 .

I'd love to find out more about the single sided tab 503zxx ( that I'd love to own .... ) , zippers weren't used on mens Levi's until 1954 so that date can be disregarded because the single sided red tab was phased out in 51/52 , so the 503zxx could have been introduced as far back as 1947 ??? Not even sure where to start in terms of research but I'd love to find out 

Anyway... more pics 

........ take all dates with a pinch of salt
