Denime

Yep that's correct.

So all the time Wego and McCoys were named simultaneously, that's why I think Tsujimoto-san is connected to Wego.

Probably the way the picture is taken or just because I know who made them but this product picture screams "Warehouse"

Denime XX model

@beautiful_FrEaK Here is an image for the 1001XX model:

I think I'll be getting an XX pair though 

[julian-wolf]

I’ve never worn Denime, but the shape of the top block on the new XX looks right up my alley—might end up finally giving these a go

[xchen]

I am planning to pick a pair up on launch too.

[Talan]

Expected "new" Denime -- will it be a Denime made by WH, or will it be a WH with the Denime label?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

What's the difference?!

The denim will be from Kurabo (like the original Denime denim), all the other parts will probably be from Warehouse incl. sewing. So the main differentiator will be the denim.
In terms of pattern...we will see

[ranonranonarat]

will these be sold through BEARS'?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yes

What difference does it make? Well, for example, if VW starts making BMWs. It could be an VW with a BMW nameplate, or it could be a BMW made at the VW plant...))

Didn't WH ever use denim made at Kurabo in the past? Heard it was used by various brands, starting with Big John.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Well, at first we would need to establish what makes a pair of Denime a pair of Denime?
Is it the cut/pattern or the denim or the construction or the details/branding (e.g. "nameplate"). Or is it just Hayashi-san as the designer?
Obviously all of the above

To my knowledge Denime never operated its own sewing factory so the construction differs naturally about where they had their jeans made (of course Denime made guidelines how it should be done).
The denim was first made by Kurabo but they also used other mills as well (Nihon Menpu if Paul T's info was correct).
The pattern was "made" by Hayashi.
The details/branding are easy to copy (although a different leather for example still makes the whole patch different :D ).

Now we do have the former mill, we have the same details/branding (with some differences).
We don't know the pattern yet but it will surely be different and made by Warehouse's pattern makers.
And we have the construction that clearly shows Warehouse's influence.

Conclusion: it's a hybrid.

Celluloid has Denime on their site for pre-order. Seems like more models will be available!

I will still buy from BEARS though 

 

Somehow nothing here anymore.
Did they sell already sell all the preorder quantities?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Seems like it, yes

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Took out the XX model from the Original Line. Size 36 so a bit oversized. I hope it still has some shrinkage left.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Nice pair of 178 A-type available, tagged size is 32 but these run small

Just put a bid in because these would fit me perfectly. They look kinda like a 66-type, @beautiful_FrEaK, is that a correct assessment? 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That's correct, they are a 60s model

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@blooming did you score the 178 model? I saw there was also someone else bidding.

Orizzonti XX today

[blooming]

@beautiful_FrEaK no, got outbid at the last second. A little sad, but I also really do not need more jeans at the moment lol. I still haven't put the Kyoto's through any real wear yet.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Reunited at last...my old contest jeans are back now. I remember the leather patch being bigger though 

Edited February 14, 2023 by beautiful_FrEaK

[pomata]

They’re back from where? Is the patch detached?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

They were with one of my best friends the last 8 (?) years and he could wear them. So the fades are mostly his work.

The patch was sewn on again it seems

[pomata]

It certainly shrank a good bit. Jeans look great and in good shape after all these years

I was really excited when I heard the news Resolute will bring out a new model and when I was told it will be a WW2 model I was even more curious.
Now, after I saw the first pictures and the info it will use the 711 denim I felt underwhelmed. The details looked quite familiar to me and I thought, why not try go get the "original" one? And so I did...

Denime WW2 from the Orizzonti era.
They were available for some time on Mercari but the price was too steep. The seller slowly reduced the price day by day and with a 3,000 Yen coupon they reached an acceptable level (and @Flashmade me order them because of FOMO). The pair was washed quite hot it seems which the leather patch obviously didn't survive. Other than that they look unworn. 
To me, all these sewing quirks done by the brands are rather new stuff and are done more and more over the last 5-6 years. So it's fun to see these 20+ jeans have also some of these quirks.

So here are they:

 

And some fit pics:

[NilsLW]

Looks like a good fit, very classic.

[indigoeagle]

Great find.

 

Re the by WH- did I see that correctly, besides the XX and Big E there will now also be a 66 issued- and there will also be three different kinds of denim?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

There will be a 66 model, yes. If all pairs have different denim I don't know yet. 

 

EDIT: just got a message from Naoki, all pairs will have a different denim and the XX pair will drop in a few days.

Edited February 28, 2023 by beautiful_FrEaK

[indigoeagle]

Interesting.

I'm wondering, what details they'll have for the BigE and 66 models.

[Maynard Friedman]

Good find Tilmann, how many pairs of Denime do you have now?!
