I think the rise is still a little short compared to vintage jeans, but closer to the real thing than the '78s were. Overall proportions look good. Though that $285 price tag.... that's a no go, especially when a lot of Japanese brands can now be picked up for $160 to $230.

Looking at the measurements at unionmade, they've tweaked the 70s fit to have a higher rise.

Very nice and I didn't expect Warehouse to create such specific repro pairs. That said I would have been nice if they would develop a new denim for them (I am correct that they use the Banner Denim again?!)

Was thinking the same thing, enough with the banner denim. it's currently being used in six models. It's nice, and appropriate for the 1004, but I'd like to see something different used in this 1001XX (which looks like the shape they used back in 2012). Out of all the Warehouse denims, the 15th Anniv 1001XX is still my favorite. Would like to see something like it again. And whatever happened to Warehouse X Lee Archives? Those were the best Lee reproductions out there.

Need a taller cuff to get rid of the sloppiness in the leg before I'd judge the over all fit. But nothing about them looks tight other than maybe near the waist. I can't imagine sizing up from these.

35" is the smallest a size 36 800 will shrink to in the waist. I think mine were 35.5" post wash, hand stretched them to 36", and they're back out 37" with some wear.

Without seeing how your Oni's fit, I'm willing to bet a size 36 800 would be big on you, and a 34 should be okay. Dig around here, I know Max posted some measurements for the size 34 800 after some wear.

Ohh the new 1003sxx in the warehouse website are those modified? The cut i mean

No. It (1003SXX) looks like it's basically the same cut as the 1003XX I got from a couple years ago, and the current 1000. The 1003XX from earlier this year, with the arcs on the back pockets, is different and iirc closer in pattern to the 1001.

Went with a 36, same as I wear in the 1002 and 1001. Falls right in between them fit wise, though is higher waisted than both. Gave them a wash and some time in the dryer last night so I could wear them today. Another wash tonight to hopefully lose another 1/2" in inseam, and then they're ready to be worn five days a week, and the 1001s the other two. I really need to sell off some jeans. I've got about four or five pair that don't get worn more than several times a year.

...well unfortunately I would easily guess these mirror 501 will be in a priece range same as the denim tuxedo few years ago.

@ Paul T, are your '66 from 2016? Mine are 2012 made, I think it´s also due to the smaller size to match the right proportion, though the

original 60s 501 of mine at W29 still has a higher rise...

Yeah, looking at the details of the mirror jean, I'd expect they'll cost at least double what a standard pair of lvc 501s cost.

Don't know why they shrink the rise on some models. I'm sure my old lvc 66s had a rise shorter than a vintage pair in the same size would have had. Dr Heech had a vintage pair of size 34 late 70s 501s, and the rise on my size 38 lvc '78s was shorter than them by like an inch. 😕

are you selling the 1001xx? i came here to post a question b/c i am in love with my big and wide 1003sxx (20th anniversary)! does anyone know which of the standard cuts this 1003sxx is similar to? i'm about half-way through them and want to get another WH pair with the same cut, and also a WH pair with the same upper block and slimmer thighs and leg opening if anyone has any suggestions!

The 1003SXX and 1000 should be very similar in shape.

If you want something as full up top as those models, but narrower at the ankle, I'd look at the 1101.

Just picked up a pair of 800s on sale from BiG. Shoulda got a new pair of these years ago (had a bigger pair when I first got into Japanese denim, and then lost weight and sold them). Woulda wore a pair of these for the DWC if Max hadn't already decided to go with them. I really like the 1001, but the 800 is just about perfect for me. If someone is having trouble with them, ya need to size up one. They're slimmer than most of WH's models, but compared to most brands they're a pretty regular straight cut.

It was mentioned at denimbro. Hope they correct the rise issue of the 78 (too short) when making the 76. I put the denim used in the 78 right up there with that in the 44 and 66, but the low rise/wide thigh pattern they went with in the 78 blows.

Any further word on the LVC 1976 501 made of vintage cone denim?

Looks fine, though don't gain weight. 😄

Yes, jackets like the B-10, L2, and MA1 were shorter waisted compared to today's jackets, but I think, at least in the case of that buzz b-10, the shortness of the body is a bit exaggerated.

It's my opinion that with any jacket that has a knit waist band, where the knit meets the body of the jacket should be at or just below where your belt rides (assuming you're not wearing low rise jeans). I also think jackets like the B-10 and B-15 look better worn slightly big. Too trim and you look and feel like a sausage. I'd say the guy in the Buzz photo should size up, even if that means the sleeve knits tunnel. Jacket is too trim to wear a sweater under, and too short in the body.

I'd wash 'em, just because you don't know who's dirty legs they were on before you!

Hope to see you here more. Your enthusiasm has been missed.

He's alive!

If cuffing them really so bad? I kinda like the look, actually. My only gripe is that they get juuuust too short when I cuff once but definitely way too long if I don't.

 

Looks fine.   

 

Some guys are able to pull it off, but for my tastes taking a garment that was designed to fit a certain way with certain proportions and then simply stretching the garment lengthwise, doesn't necessarily work.  Pretty sure FC does the same thing with their jackets.  Looks a little odd at times having a long narrow body on a jacket with sleeves that are long and narrow and have to be cuffed.  

 

Rather than the true vintage reproduction that's so short you have no choice but to wear your shirt tucked in, and a modern take where they're simply taking that vintage design and made it longer, I'd like to see someone rework the Type I and II into something that has the basic design of the originals, but fits modern bodies and styles better.      

Anyone out there got the new 1101? Looks like it's a hair bigger in the thigh than the 1001, but was hoping to confirm.

I cannot get over the length of those jackets. I don't understand it. 

 

guys wanting to wear their shirts untucked. 

 

personally, I think the jackets would look better 3" shorter, closer to the original style.  take 2" off the sleeves while they're at it.      

X post from the Warehouse thread.  I need to track down someone with a decent camera before the end to this thing.  Jeans aren't as light as they appear in the over all photos.  Close ups are the closest to the real color, but still on the light side.    

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's some photos of my 1001s.  400 day of wear, 12 washes (including two initial).  Using a different computer, and photo's color always look like shit on it's monitor, so not sure how these turned out. If they're garbage, my apologies!   Different hosting site too, so if they're huge, again, I'm sorry!  

 

 

 

 

Spot on the left leg where the denim is thinning out.

 

 

 

posted a couple on instagram.  tough to capture with the phone what the naked eye sees so easily.

Hit 400 days of wear on the 1001s yesterday, and gave them their 12th wash (including two initial). When they're wet and turned inside out I can easily see all the damage. Thinning out on both thighs right above the knee, and combs thinning out and getting ready to open before long. Will try to get some pictures once they're dry. Love the banner denim, but I can't see it holding up for two years worth of actual wear.

BIG version are one wash and look pretty accurate from my experience.

 

Yeah, their measurements match every thing I've seen online for a washed version of the 710.
