@yung_flynn Good observations. Those "relaxed tapered" cuts are really made for big guys who want a proportionally smaller hem. If you wear a size 34-36 waist there's a good argument for jeans like that, which will give you maybe 8-8.5" hems while a straight leg fit is around 10" and extremely wide. But in my size those tapered fits are usually something like 6.75" with a 12.5" or larger thigh and look completely ridiculous. I can see why a guy would need more room than me in the top block, but not why they'd want such a tiny hem. To me these jeans seem like they negatively emphasize one's midsection, especially in the smaller sizes where you don't need all that taper.

All this raises what is, to me, an obvious question: why don't jean makers offer at least some models by hem size? For instance, a "22 cm" pair that's a pretty classic 8.5" hem, and as the waist size goes up, the top block and thigh get roomier, and taper proportionally increases while the hem stays about the same. Even better if the rise is also pretty consistent (let's say, 11.5-12" or so in the front), and only when you go down to size 29 or smaller does it scale down a bit.

 

It’s been done by Dior Homme. They had a 21cm, 19.5cm, and a 17.5cm cut (if I recall correctly). Not a denimbro label but still a brand that got plenty of airtime on SUFU ca. 2008.
 

That said, I can’t vouch for whether the leg opening actually was the same across all sizes – I doubt it based on @Duke Mantee’s very accurate observation.

Hello, I would like an opinion / advice for the Warehouse lot 1001xx deadstock blue 1947. In terms of cut, is this “the real cut” of the 501 from this era? I'm looking for a "perfect" reproduction. Does anyone have the measurements for a size W33? And I was wondering if this is the same fabric that is used for Deadstock Blue 1947, 1953, 1954? Is there a wider model in these 3 models? Is Deadstock Blue the same as Banner denim? Does it fade well? Thank you in advance for your help.

I think of mine as a nice fitting approximation of the 1947 501, not a perfect repro. Can’t help you with W33 sizing – I’m a W31 in all the Warehouse I own. I’m a fan of Warehouse but their streaky/grainy fades are not my preference.

In the waist and the top block my size 31 220a are easily one size larger than my size 31 WH1001X. This is after the 220 have had a hot wash and air dry. 
 

A this point, I regret not getting a 30 in the 220a 

Forgive the n00b question about the Lot. 220a, but I've seen mixed descriptions from retailers. How does the size of the Lot. 220a compare to Warehouse 1001 sizing? And are they a 40s, 50s, or 60s, (or none of the above) cut?
