Denime

b_F, I think you would turn the world out to find some nice pieces of Denime. It's nice strong passion....

@beautiful_FrEaK extremely tempted.  Why it isn’t a 32

[obama]

Btw is your @beautiful_FrEaK favourite 10th or 15th anni? I can’t recall.

10th anniversary so far, haven't got the 15th at all

I checked out Denime when I was in BEARS' and damn, some nice crunchy denim. Pity they run such short inseams.

I have found in Japan, the domestic market seems to only stock shorter inseams, however, most places are sold out of size 36 usually. Has been good for my wallet.

Haven't noticed it yet.
I mean the explanation is rather strange since most denim we talk here is rope dyed and I haven't noticed it so strong on other brands. Yes the denim changes from lot to lot like every product. I would then just assume that the production runs were rather big and they cut the front panels from different denim rolls than the back panels. Other brands might cut all pieces from the same roll and thus the difference is not as striking.

In fact it's strange not to cut the front and back part in the same roll. I've never noticed this on other denim either.

[reallypeacedoff]

Denim is so nice though. Would have purchased but they didn't have any 36s at the Warehouse shop. Am I wrong, did they white-out the "XX"?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That's the BigE model so no XX model anyway. The Lot 220 is the XX model.

It's weird, but they also had the 220 and again, some white-out after the number (?). All of their Denime are one wash too. BEARS' had both models, and they were definitely raw (with the stickers "Buy em big..."). I wish I kinda tried them at BEARS' now since they are wider cuts, a 32" or even a 30" inseam would have been pretty fine for me. Really nice denim though.

I pulled my 220s off the shelf and have been living in them for the last 2 days. I forgot how comfortable they are, especially after a run through the dryer.

[blooming]

Also, I just got the Orizzonti Type-2 XX. They are an amazing fit EVERYWHERE but the hips and waist. 

 

They are available if anyone wants, size 30, unhemmed/unworn/unwashed- this was the listing: https://jp.mercari.com/item/m18933914565

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Too tight?

[blooming]

Yeah. Interesting cut. It’s very straight and somewhat roomy in the legs, but the top block is very narrow. I could button them raw, but if they shrink even 1cm they’ll be unwearable. Shame, the denim is really nice.

Just started breaking these in. The usual fit pics to follow…

How do you like them so far? Wore my pair today.

Some inside rumors:

There will be a 1947 or 1955 model, a WW2 model and another 66 model which will have a different denim to the 66 model that haven't even been released yet.

We will see...

Small snippet from the Warehouse blog, looks like the WWII jeans will be ¥29,000.
Not much to see but it at least confirms the model and an accompanying jacket.

[Maynard Friedman]

Hi b_F, I’ve only worn them a few times but I really like them as a slimmer alternative. I’m saving them for ‘smarter’ wear so progress will be very slow as I aim to keep them dark. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction of this pair as the size 32 I had were just too tight all around but these 33s are just perfect.

Thanks for the info!

I kinda fear Warehouse will do the same with Denime as they do with Warehouse: creating a model for each month of the year from 1940 until 1955  
So we will certainly see A LOT models with minor changes.

Does anyone know where to reliably find Warehouse/Denime seasonal catalogs? They don't keep it updated online, but retailers must get digital copies. I'm always curious what their flannel patterns are going to be each year.

[Broark]

@willi It seems like in recent years Warehouse has stopped posting the catalogues online, no idea what the impetus for that is / was but here we are.
Every now and then you'll see a retailer post preorders with images from the catalog (i.e. Take-Off Clothing), but I've haven't seen a full digital catalog available like we used to see in quite some time.

[willi]

Thanks, yes it's too bad. There's nothing like flipping through a catalog and then calling around to find out who is going to stock the pieces you like. Part of the pleasure for me.

[obama]

@beautiful_FrEaK love the fit. It is kinda low in rise?  what size has you got? 
 

Btw, always wonder have you got a Japanese style garden cement wall for the background?

[Maynard Friedman]

I think that’s the industrial setting where he works! They’re a mid-rise, I can give you the measurement for my size 33 tomorrow but I think it’s a little over 11”.

EDIT: after a handful of wears, the front rise measures approx 11.25”.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@obama

Maynard is right, that's from my work place.

My pair is a W34 and I would list them as a lower mid-rise. Similar to the 66 model from old Denime.

[yung_flynn]

Has anyone ever run across Denime's 5-pocket Bedford cords - their white tab Levi's 517 repro?

I found a pair secondhand in roughly my size and I'm kind of curious after sizing out of my existing 5-pocket chinos. The listing has poor photos though and minimal details.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^ sorry, no idea...

The WW2 today. They are plenty long but I don't wanna hem them somehow...

@beautiful_FrEaK Hahaha Yes that's exactly it lol It's a little hard to follow sometimes. Do you know if they will release batches 220 and 221 again? I wonder how model 66 will be, certainly thinner than batch 221.

[Maynard Friedman]

220 = 50s

• 221 = 60s

so…

• 218 will be late 30s cinchback
• 219 will be WW2

Might need some decimal points for the variations within a decade 😉

[CharlieMike]

For those who are interested, Take Off has just released a new stock of lot 220. https://takeoff-clothing.com/item_detail?item_id=7211

You answered your own question with the last post

Yes they will be in constant production. IMO, they should name them Lot.220B, 220C and so on

and yes, the 224 should be a tad slimmer than the 221

[indigoeagle]

Is there a historic reference to the Lot numbering?
