  1. Had an email with the balance remaining from Simone today! Exciting! Just to reiterate, for me and others getting the email from him today / this week? Is it just paypal payment to [email protected]?
  2. @81FXR that's a lovely pair of glasses! How big exactly are they? I've a large bonce on me!
  3. UPDATE: Measurements of the one wash 220XX-54 pair provided below Waist: 16" (half waist, laid flat) Thigh: 13" (at crotch) Front rise: 12" Back rise: 14" Knee: 10" Leg opening: 9" Inseam: 32" (Second pair may have been sent to me in error, Warehouse have requested I ship them back to them to check - and hopefully hem them 🤞)
  4. I think if I requested to return them it could potentially work out, but I would probably lose out more on the shipping, export/import charge etc than selling them on myself! EDIT: I have actually asked them about returning again, but in the meantime, they're available for sale and as said, will add measurements too, probably tomorrow!
  5. Yeah this one is largely on me! I requested both pairs be hemmed prior to shipping, neither of them were hemmed (this has worked previously). In my entirely unnecessary urge for the in-house (Warehouse) hem I reordered and requested it again (hemming was on all the invoices at every stage I might add, though a complementary service). Thus, both are up for sale. If there is no bite anywhere, I will probably keep one and send to the capable SOAS hem department! Ultimately, I took it as the universe saying: "You're going to be wearing your WOMCON jeans for the next 18 months what are you playing at?!" ...and in fairness, I agreed. For what it's worth, they're a lovely pair of jeans in a great denim - just way too long for me!
  6. Welp. Same thing happened twice. I now have two pairs of the Denime 220XX-54 W34 L32 for sale. Both at £175. I will share measurements shortly!
  7. That's a nice price on a rare pair!!!
  8. Oh they’re lovely! Do you have any comparison to other Alden lasts sizing wise? It appears the common wisdom is to go the same as your Barrie last size.. There’s a nice pair of the Kafka Mercantile make up of the military derby going for a great price on eBay.. I’m virtually there I was just gathering a few more notes on the sizing! Ha
  9. Do any of you good people have experience with the Alden 379x / Military last?
  10. Agreed, looks like a good fit, and yes once they soften up they'll feel a lot better I'm sure!
  11. For info, mine are up for sale, I ultimately came down on the fact I got the size wrong. A learning experience, if they do a re-run I may be tempted to get a size or two bigger.
  12. Yes @willi they look awesome! Didn't need the reminder that I wanted a pair though! Still never really nailed down my ideal WW2 era pair
  13. Kamakura Cushman ~25 layers of undergarments keeping the cold out!!! Denime 220XX-47 Alden
  14. One for my hem roping nerds out there! Hems on the 220XX-47.
  15. I would say that the fabric Warehouse produce now is V V susceptible to the veiny fades (I can't comment on historic fabric), but I have also noticed it promimently in my Buzz Rickson chambray shirt, I guess it's the diagonal pull you get from washing and the warp x weft working against each other (or some such scientific thing).
  16. Very excited that those of us who do celebrate Christmas might be putting our waistbands to the test over the festive period!! 🍰
  17. They do yes, much more of a straight down from the knee 50's kind of vibe, the waist is also larger on these. These are the raw measurements from their site: 220XX-47 W34: Waist (W) - 88cm Thigh (T) - 34cm Front rise (F) - 33.5cm Back rise (B) - 45cm Length (L) - 88cm Hem width (O) - 22.5cm 220XX-54 W34: Waist (W) - 92cm Thigh (T) - 35.5cm Front rise (F) - 33.5cm Back rise (B) - 44.5cm Length (L) - 89cm Hem width (O) - 24cm
  18. NOW SOLD Had a bit of a boo boo with an order direct from Warehouse. For sale: an unworn, one wash W34 L32 pair of Denime 220XX-54. I have another pair on the way (with hem done!) For sale here for £175 + shipping. (also listed on ebay)
  19. Vintage Barbour Butcher Products sport shirt Warehouse T Warehouse DD-1947 Alden
  20. Me too! It feels pretty special for us to be so close to the manufacture of the jeans for a contest!!
  21. @willi just harking back to the conversation around spectacles a few weeks ago(?) It seems Cubitts now do have a US presence: https://cubitts.com/blogs/stores/west-village
