@Jared_Lee haha wow - I spent a chunk of my youth collecting reggae vinyl and attending reggae dance's, inspired very much by a close friend's older brother who was a reggae DJ (eventually I and my closer friends all got into DJing - such a wonderful time). Anyway - these 3 were obviously some of our favourites (notwithstanding the questionable politics/views) - seems like Capleton still has it very much locked down, not so sure about Sizzla or Barrington though! Thanks for sharing, you've encouraged a huge wave of nostalgia!

@willi this is probably not helpful as I believe they're only UK based, but after years of buying and wearing out cheap crap frames I bought some glasses from Cubitts, they're hefty, stylish and feel like they will last a long time - I've had them coming up for a year now and no complaints at all - even with children constantly stealing them from my face and being not so delicate with them, and working out and running in them, drenching them thoroughly with sweat. They offer a free service after a year too which I'm looking forward to, just for a deep clean and to tighten up the temples now I've worn them in properly. I have it on good faith that Moscot NYC are as good as this, and also Cutler and Gross, which are UK based but have an NYC store. Sorry if none of that is useful.

@jkbrwn nope that was not me my friend. As nice as the jeans sound!

Seems to be domestic-ish pricing though so maybe fill your boots! Even if there is a bit of pasta on the product!

Those look great! Are they a new model? I have an older WW2 model (lot 203) with HBT pockets etc

That really is some beautiful scenery, what a great way to spend the day!

Yeah no worries at all I suspected all that was the case. I was just thinking it would keep our appetites whetted seeing maybe a new and used of each cut, but totally understand all the above. …and I would certainly not want to tempt a delay!!

That’s what I’m after, clean cut all the way down, looks great! I’ve been second guessing my size and hem choices a little bit but if I’ve nailed this fit then I am good to go. I was wondering if he would mind indulging us all in some suitably nerdy detail shots of each of the cuts being worn in the contest? I don’t imagine he has a tonne of spare time right now but I’m sure we would all be very grateful!

They are really nice! Chose the red as I like how red sweats fade, leaving the stitching still a more vivid red while the jersey washes out.

Nothing much more to add there apart from yes I fully agree it's actually hilarious on there.

+ that’s a Denime raglan sleeve hoodie too! Unplanned believe it or not.

Anyhow, here are the 220XX-47’s, about 2 months in. Suppose this is very topical given the discussion about fast fading! They are starting to look a lot like the Warehouse banner denim 🫠

They look great! Accurate sole unit too. Also wide foot magic sounds good to me!

They're stunning! I've always had a soft spot for M43 style roughout boots - probably since I first watched Band of Brothers and The Great Escape. I have a pair of the Lofgren M43's and if they age this well I'll be a happy man. When did you get these? I understand the RRL roughouts are well out of production now

Quite so! 😂 Yes I see what you mean, it has been swallowed up and I am aware the reason I probably like the new Denime so much is because it is literally just Warehouse.

My view is I love Warehouse and most of the stuff they do, thus I also therefore love their iteration of Denime.

Love that!!! Will be proud to wear that for 18 months and beyond! Will have to work out how best to preserve it against the stresses of washing and drying and the detergents etc (anyone got any good tips on that I'd be all ears!)

Kamakura Denime Alden

That's probably about it yes, I'm imagining fuller through the leg, varied stitching colours and spotted on the photos the rear belt loop is offset, but not diagonal like the Offset model. Can't check the dimensions yet though because I can't see a size chart anywhere. I think the banner denims are different for each of the models? Though I may have misunderstood that. I thought the intention was to produce a fabric and a cut that matches the period.

Anyone going in for the 220XX-54? https://www.ware-house.co.jp/?pid=179512068 Despite some sincere and intense yearnings, I will not be, not this round anyway - I will likely pick them up on a later restock (depending heavily on what Warehouse produce next year for the 30th anniversary!)

Ahh brilliant thank you!
