no while both are essentially straight cuts, they do fit differently. It's most noticeable in the top block where the 47 feels trimmer with more tapered waist. the 46 is a little more anti-fit in shape and has the obvious design quirks. the 46 fabric feels noticeably rougher and uneven than the 47 which is more uniform and has a smoother hand. I'm no expert in vintage but from what I've read and heard from sugar cane, the wartime fabrics were a little lighter in weight than the post war fabrics.

Warehouse can be confusing on the naming and knowing what fabrics are being used but I just took a look at the most recent line sheet and it looks like the DD-1001 1947 uses the no.7 x no.7 13.5oz tri-state US cotton and the 1001XX(1000XX) 1947 uses 7.5 x 7.5 pink selvedge denim which sounds like it should be the DSB. I'm not sure if that was different previously though.

yeah this denim seems like it'll fade with a decent amount of contrast. I'm already getting some lighter blues on the knees and backpackers. This belt is so beefy. it's the only belt I've had where the leather has not really stretched even though it's been my main belt for years.

I picked up the FN-D111. I really like the wider fit of these jeans and how they don’t run super small esp compared to flat head jeans a few years back. The denim is closer to the deep indigo color of the pioneer denim. It crocks a lot more than the jeans I’ve worn the last few years. I’ve only worn them a week but I’ll be washing them soon.
