Denime wrote wome stuff about the denim used for the new 3 models.

I might have understood it incorrectly but it seems they had Kurabo analyse the old Banner denim and have it recreated. So another "Banner denim". They main difference seems to be the brown weft in comparison to WH's old Banner denim. 

I'm intrigued by the brown banner denim. Warehouse banner denim is one of my favorites so I'll be grabbing a pair of the Denime banner as long as the fit works for me. Have they announced what models will have this denim? 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The 220 1947 and the 220 1954.

The WW2 model will have a heavier, 14.5oz denim

Lot 224 on my business partner, he's 6'1 about 160lbs.

Post soak size 32.

thank you! 

 

would you say the top block is snug? im currently on my 3rd pair of fullcount 1108, always had a 33 and they always stretched a size too big, now trying 32's and they are super snug, especially in the thighs. looking for a high rise with a looser top block so they dont sag below the hips. these 220a's look promising

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If you can make a 1108 work you don't have to fear the 220.

I always found the 1108 unwearable for my frame, the 220 is perfect

I wore various incarnations (different denims) of the 1108s for many years (2010-2015 or so) and I can say the 220 are more generous in all dimensions and much more comfortable, IMO… especially as I get older.

[dennnnnnnnn]

would you say theyre slim straight, straight, slim tapered? etc

[tooth]

Regular straight fit

Good Afternoon

Long-time lurker here that just dove back into the denim game. I haven't bought a pair of denim in a few years and wanted to dive back in with japanese denim. Over the last couple years I've been slowly transitioning out of slim fit mindset and into regular straight leg pants/denim. This lead me back here to learn/relearn these brands/models etc.. I had narrowed down my choices to the Warehouse 1001xx, Denime 220a XX, and Resolute 714. After a lot of back and forth I decided on the 220 and I'm glad I did!

After reading through this thread about sizing and shrinkage. I decided on the 34x36. I received my pair from Japan after about 8 days from a shop I found on Rakuten Market. I received my pair and did a 45 minutes cold water soak, then let the jeans dry and followed up with a cold wash on delicate. 

Some fit pics below (first 3 are raw fitting and the last are after a soak and wash). Along with measurements.

34w x 36
Raw / Soak / One Wash
Waist: 17.5" / 17" / 16.75
Front Rise: 13" / 12.75" / 12.5"
Back Rise: 17.75" / 17" / 16.5"
Thigh: 13" / 12.75" / 12.25"
Knee: 10" / 9.5" / 9.25"
Leg Opening: 9" / 8.75" / 8.5"
Inseam: 35" / 33" / 32"

These are coming along great and the fit feels amazing. There's also some room for some shrinkage, which I assume will happen on the second wash. I'm going to wait until after the second wash to get these hemmed.

Looking forward to seeing the progression on these! I'm glad I stuck with the size 34 and not the 36. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I mulled over this pair in my head for several years. I already talked about it 2 or 3 years ago with Naoki from PSA who had a quite big stock of them. The stock got smaller and smaller and although I might have found a pair on Yahoo, it was easier to buy from Naoki. Luckily he could secure a pair from the Orizzonti era for me.

You will not find much information about this model although it had been produced in the Orizzonti and Shins era.

It's a 101B Leepro from the late 40s if I am correct. 

Beautiful LHT. I think 14oz

Nice
Special jeans.

What is the weight?
And the denim is still RHT, right? Didn't Lee only change that after WW2 or so?
I have two 101 models from the thirties (made by Edwin) and they're RHT and ca. 12oz.

 I'll leave this here 

[indigoeagle]

Oh, ok 😅

[Alec Leamas]

Denime heads! I require some advice..

Where is the most cost effective place to source a pair of 220A from to the U.K.?

The good people of Son of a Stag have some in still, and that would also be knocking the cost of hemming off in the end, but I wondered given the yen <-> gbp situation, whether there is another viable source at the moment?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Most cost effective will be BEARS. But most sizes are out of stock. So if you are not in a hurry, wait for them to restock. 

[Alec Leamas]

Awesome thanks @beautiful_FrEaK, I’m not in a mad rush, so I might wait for that.

[Maynard Friedman]

Denimio still have a few sizes left in the 220A.

[Alec Leamas]

Oh great, thank you!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

They are quickly becoming a favourite of mine!

On top of that, they are my cleanest pair of Denime construction wise. Up there with Ooe and the like.

Warehouse/Denime released the new models on their IG
(https://www.instagram.com/denime1988/)

WW2 (as expected)
1947 (as expected)
1954 (only knew of 50s)

and jackets for all these periods.

Then two 66 models, in black and ecru.

 

The jeans and jackets look more like Warehouse than former Denime (so Warehouse jeans with a Denime patch and hardware). I'll pass. Maybe, just maybe an expection for the WW2 jacket

Do we have any concept of when the WW2 / 47 and 54's will arrive? I've been told by Bears that they have no idea about WH production schedule, but does anyone have a feel for when it might be?

Wondering whether to hold my nerve for the 47's or just go 220A right now!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I would have told you the same: with WH it arrives when it arrives. Was with every release so far.

And the answer is always: Both!
