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:

Comparing the DSB with the WWII denim. The jacket sleeve is from the Blanket lined Lot.2001XX(2000XX) which is the 7.5x7.5 pink selvedge DSB denim. The jeans are the 25th Anniversary S1001XX (1946) 6.7x6.6 orange selvedge WWII denim.

I've got that jacket in 48. Compared to when I got it, after wear and a cold wash chest and shoulders remained more or less the same, sleeves and back length shortened by 2 and 1.5cm respectively. A great jacket, a bit lighter denim, interesting little details.

How did you size the 45 jacket- 44?

I agree. I was wearing contacts for many years, but apparently overdid it. So the optician strongly recommended to me to wear glasses again, which I've been doing now for a year. And in winter I have to wear a watch cap or similarly and I'm always happy when I get inside and can take it off. It just feels better. Before I'd sometimes wear a hat or cap the whole day.

Recently besides their 105 and 107 OrSlow had released a 101 Dad's fit jeans. Now there is also a 101 Grand Dads Fit. Apparently 12oz. There is also one by Full Count. In their super smooth 11.5oz denim.

Has there ever been a Warehouse type 1 or type 2 jacket made with the 1000XX memphis cotton (6x6, 14.5oz)?

I see. Thanks So in the US, not in Japan. I'd be also interested in a pair via proxy.

Looks good. What is the tomodachi tour?
