Could be Orizzonti based on the crotch stitching 

Just noticed the blue tag on left pocket. Also can't see any info online regarding a 082 fit

The number is just a lot number, no indication of a fit. Blue tab means overseas models from the 90s so it's an Orizzonti era

Thanks, guys (@beautiful_FrEaK & @Maynard Friedman).Much appreciated!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@MJF9 some inspiration for you

@beautiful_FrEaK very nice!!  I should have mine like that in about 2035!  Unless I go down the accelerator route with that there size 36 😀

[Jared_Lee]

Jeans arrived today. They fit perfectly. The wear is actually less significant than I expected. There are faint lines of thigh whiskering, a tiny bit of fading on the back pockets and a little wear around the hem. Damn near new. The fabric is fairly dense compared with the Full Count and WoM that I wear most often. It might even feel a little stiffer than the White Oak fabric on my LeRoys. Overall, they actually feel a lot like my Deviant S01XX, but thankfully one size bigger.

What's the oz on those @Jared_Lee? Look real nice!

[Jared_Lee]

@reallypeacedoff, pulling from @beautiful_FrEaK's Denime thread, the Orizzonti era was listed as 14.5oz (in theory raw weight) and potentially 15.9oz washed.

[Ciabatta]

Woah what a score! They fit you great! I love the length on them too. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@Jared_Lee they look great on you! I bet they feel  quite different to FC  and they won't get that soft

[reallypeacedoff]

I found the Denime denim to be one of my favorites, it's soft for the weight but crucially is pretty breatheable. My Momos give me the sweats way more than the Denime, both roughly 15.7oz.

Orizzonti-era 66 pair

For the Lot 220A owners-

the fabric is a fast fader without doubt.
If you own a pair of jeans in the Denime Banner denim with the brownish weft: how would you compare the fading?

And if you also own the Lot 232 Type 2: Does it also fade that fast?

[Lorcan]

I have 233 type iii and yeah develops faster than most of my other jackets. Haven’t worn it enough to really get going yet so mostly at cuffs and back waistband so far.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Another beauty but again too small for me:

178 A Type

224 1966 model Denime Not the best pics but just mowed the lawn and didn’t want to lay them on there after a wash. Started wearing them last April

They seem to sell quite quickly.
So this is a unique denim fabric, right, different from the Lot 220 A?

Did anybody hear anything more about why the Lot 220 A fabric by Kurabo will be discontinued, but the Banner denim will continue?
Was the banner denim also by Kurabo? Or WH's "usual" mill? 
I think, it had been said somewhere, that this was the first time that WH had worked together with Kurabo.

Couple sizes up on Warehouse's site too: https://www.ware-house.co.jp/?pid=179511502

Yes this is a new (?) fabric, not used for Denime jeans yet. But maybe a denim WH used before. I don't know.

It was said Kurabo is closing a mill because they have no workforce. But I said it earlier, the new "Denime Banner Denim" was also made by Kurabo, so why they don't discontinue this one as well, I don't know.

The only clue Warehouse have put on the item listing is "No. 6 x No. 6 Memphis Cotton" - nice and clear

Yes, so it will be the same weight-wise as WH's Memphis cotton. But probably coarser with more grainy/vertical fading.

And WH's denim is made in Okayama Prefecture by Ishizaki Textile (I had read that somewhere, not sure, if it still correct).
And this one will be made in the soon to be shut part of Kurabo.

Yes, curious.
They might have a section for ultra-niche/experimental stuff and perhaps they will close that down vs. the more in demand general selvedge denim fabrics.

[Alec Leamas]

I think I've come round to not picking up a pair of the 220XX-S, or at least not until they do a full size run in one wash L30 anyway!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I'll pass. Discussd them with some folks but they just don't interest me much.

On another note, if you like a nice old Leepro 101J by Denime, here

https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auction/yahoo/input/h1205743041/

[Broark]

I feel like the 220XX-S look too neat and cleanly constructed.
Not sure how else to put it really, but they don't really feel like a war model to me.

I’m eyeing a pair of 220a offset model from denimio but they are only available in unwashed form…anyone have post soak measurements of a size 36 they can share?

Have a look back at this thread from about 2 years ago. I have a 36 that I have posted the shrinkage...

Pre-soak

Post-soak

Measurements (size 36/32)
Put it through a warm, delicate wash cycle; originally air-dried but I realized it wasn't going to dry in time, so I put it in a delicate low-heat dryer.

Pre-soak / Post-soak
W: 37.50 / 35.25
FR: 13.50 / 12.50
RR: 17.50 / 16.75
TH: 13.25 / 12.75
KN: 10.25 / 9.75
LO: 9.25 / 8.75
IN: 34.50 / 32.50

These fit great and the denim is spot on! I probably could do another wash and dry and probably will once IIY4 starts and I'm onto my comp pair.  Either way, these fit awesome; enough room for some additional shrinkage, but I like the fit as is, to be honest.

Found it!
