@nick682 Celluloid seems to still have the older prices - 2102 is listed for $260 USD rather than $450 at Bears. Same thing seems to be true for 0105 and 1101 pricing

In case anyone is interested, I stumbled across what seems to be a very good condition for a pretty good price for a pair of size 33 2101 Leepros https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/h1104414259/

Yeah I remember this seller now. They have all sorts of unique Orrizonti and Shins era pants (corduroys, bootcut denim, black denim, etc.) among other things (older Warehouse and Full Count items). I almost bought an Orrizonti era pair of tan bootcut Bedford cords at one point that are gone now. Nothing is in my size so you're safe from me.

Ha! I actually stumbled across this exact eBay listing and was going to share it before getting sidetracked and forgetting. Glad that somebody got them! They were not my size.

The graphic that Denime released actually confuses me the more that I look at it. Nearly every jean model in it is labelled 232. The 15.5 oz weight and purple selvedge for the 220a in the translated write-up is different than the 14.25 oz and yellow selvedge in the previous run (and different from the Warehouse and Bears restock description). @Alec Leamas The 224 ecru description calls out them being part of the XX series. I wonder if they are the pair in the 3rd yellow column labeled as 232. The description makes the ecru 224 sound like the natural version of their new XX denim which sounds consistent with their chart

Thanks to both of you! I kind of figure that this would be the case for me as well since I have relatively large thighs and build for my waist size. I am a little concerned about the 710 rise and thighs on me, although I like the simplicity of the model and brand. The 220a rise actually would probably suit my frame pretty well and not be that large at my size and height and I like the denim based on the 232 jacket. I'm not necessarily looking or needing to buy any of them just yet, but I've considered all of those 3 (710, 714, and 220a) off-and-on for a bit. I'm in no rush at all and probably will at least wait to see what the new Denime XX and ring-spun series are like, before deciding if I want to buy any of them at all.

I've been spending a lot of time gardening and doing yard work in my pair of Warehouse this spring. Azaleas (pink flowers) and Siberian irises (purple flowers) are currently in bloom. Hopefully, Big Leaf Golden-Ray is next and later Russian Sage and Black-Eyed Susans.

@beautiful_FrEaK Out of curiosity, what is your personal preference (historical accuracy aside) between your Resolute pairs and their relatively similar cuts in the new Denime by Warehouse. For example, do you prefer Resolute 714, 711, or Denime 220a for a wider 40's/50's cut? Do you prefer the Resolute 710 or Denime 221 or 224 for a slimmer more tapered 60's/70's pair? @blooming I think that you have most of these too. I thought about including some of the older Denime models (e.g, classic XX, 66xx, Kyoto) but feel like that would be scope creep and a more difficult apples-to-apples comparison.

I'll add mine too. I try to keep things limited to pairs that I wear at least semi-regularly. Samurai S211VX got the boot this year - fades were starting to come in nicely but way too tapered for my calves and leg opening way too small for my feet. Warehouse Duck Digger 1001xx 1947 (probably my most worn pair) TCB 50's (close 2nd in terns of wear frequency) TCB Cat's Drive (occasional wear for now until the WH get too rough) RRL Black Slim High (nicely fade in lap but too slim and tapered for me now + waist touch too big; very occasional wear) Sugar Cane 1947 Black x White (new pickup to replace RRL in rotation as black pair) TCB No. 2 1890 (to arrive this summer - may bump Cat's Drive depending on how I feel or get bumped if not to my taste) Denime 232 Type II (only jacket for now)

+1 for MI. MN is my preferred cold weather state though

I kind of like this table graphic that Denime made, including some of their new models. The auto translation of the description is a bit rough though. I feel like they are trending into Warehouse-style nomenclature, which I find a bit confusing. Most everything is some variation of lot 232 or 233. https://www.instagram.com/p/C7eeN6pv2I-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

@dada mafiosiVarious versions of the 1001xx pop up secondhand occasionally too in minimally worn condition and for reasonable prices if you’re lucky or patient enough to find your size. That’s how I found my pair

@SLAYER What does the metal hardware look like after all of this? Hydrogen peroxide is a wicked oxidizer so I’d imagine that the metal rivets and buttons would change, especially depending on final acid/base equilibrium or stoichiometry.

Haha. Yeah I'm around 6'3" or probably really more like 6'4" if both my legs were the same length - my legs are a bit long for my body though since I have the same inseam as my 6'5" father-in-law. I have to wear a lot of jeans Hayashi-style regardless of choice (I need 32" to even hit mid-ankle), TCB being an exception

Same for me or I would definitely have bit on the black 714. Noticed the same thing about SC inseam too - almost too short for me

Are they black x white 714? I don’t see the coin pocket rivets in the photos but I might just be missing them

I snoozed too long to grab them on Bears or Hinoya, but I just got a pair myself secondhand after they didn't fit the original owner. I'm hoping that they can mostly replace my several year old RRL as my black pair - they look nice now but they're a bit too slim for my tastes now (plus the dreaded tight thigh + too large waist). Never having had the standard SC 1947, these are not as wide as I was expecting based on the size charts, which made them seem like they'd be wider than my Duck Digger 1947 pair. Rise is noticeably lower than Warehouse's take, about a full inch lower. Otherwise, all other details are similar as I'd expect for 1947 repros, minus the lack of coin pocket selvedge in the WH.

Thanks! I really like the fit - almost all measurements turned out to be almost exactly what I would have listed as my ideal post-shrink. The 232 is definitely not for the large chested since this is the biggest size and I'm only a 38-40" chest. Length is a bit short on me, but that's because I'm pretty tall (which also often makes pants rise seem low on me too) - jacket still covers the yoke though. Length is very comparable to older WH 2002xx (not sure about the new 1960 version) in same size and pretty close to other high fidelity Type 2 repros that I looked at. I'm not sure if the denim is the same as the 220a or as the upcoming 50s pair. Regardless it seems like it will be a very fast fader like the 220a - hard and rigid creases set in almost instantly

In case this is helpful to anyone else who needs long sleeves, I asked Ryo about the No. 2 blouse sleeve sizing because the size charts made the sleeves seem significantly shorter than other TCB models. He replied that the sleeves indeed measure 3 cm shorter than his 20s jacket in the same size, but that the sleeve essentially hits at the same place because of the shoulder and armhole construction. As for the jeans, I've actually come around to them and expect to grab a pair (probably with belt loops for function's sake) before orders close this week unless I have a last minute change of heart. I have no illusions of winning the competition and they probably won't truly be worn everyday because they are so niche, so the 18 month cycle helps. Hard to turn down curiosity for the details of this pair and I get the feeling that they will fit me pretty well. (Seeing the updated fit from TCB Instagram in a true-to-size pair helped too). More on the fence with regards to the jacket since I just got a Type 2 and don't necessarily need it, but it might help tie the jeans more into my existing wardrobe

Here are some close-ups of my TCB 50's that I've worn since last August in rotation with my WH 1001xx. They are relatively slow fading, but some electric blue highlights are showing through in the slubbier and higher wear areas especially in the sunlight. Like the WH pair, the color of these is beautiful in natural light. The color of the front pocket stitching and back pocket corner feel truest to real life - my son was starting to fuss during these so I had to compromise on finding proper exposure and white balance on a few.

I've been playing around with my macro lens to shoot close-ups of my son, so I thought that it would be fun to take some macro shots of my DD-1001xx 1947 out of the wash. I got these minimally worn secondhand last September. The color is really beautiful in the sunlight, although the crotch has seen better days after a couple quick repairs. Originally, I was a bit lukewarm on the pre-distressed leather patch and buttons, but they look pretty nice and fit in much better now with significant wear. Back pocket, front pocket, and belt loop shots feel closest to color in true life. \
