I’ve been going for Den-eeem as I assumed / possibly heard it was French inspired?!

For some reason, I have been saying "Den-eem," but now I'm saying "Den-ime," which brings up the question, what is everyone else saying? Is it just "Denim?" 

I asked the same question in the Evisu thread years ago and nvr got a response..

Ee-vee-sue .. Ee-vee-shu .. Tom-aii-toes .. Tom-arr-toes

no time today for fit pics during day time. only my IIIV submissions pics... still after 30 days not so much to see. results would be  visible IMO after 3 months of wear....

Trifting today and found this Orizonti era paper patch well worn in my size kudos for the previous owner ヾ⁠(⁠*⁠’⁠Ｏ⁠’⁠*⁠)⁠/ 

The top button is black (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

Good afternoon!
Finally, the DENIME Lot 224 jeans reached me. Size W32 L32. It's a shame that most Japanese manufacturers don't go beyond the L32.
And it was immediately clear that the pants would be short. 
A few photos before shrinkage.

They sat down delicately. Manually. The water temperature is ~ 35-40 Celsius.

W/2              44,0 sm/ 41,5 sm
FR               29,5 sm/ 27,5 sm
RR               40,0 sm/ 37,0 sm
Hip              56,0 sm/ 54,5 sm
Up. tight        32,0 sm/ 30,5 sm
Kn               23,5 sm/ 22,5 sm
Lo               21,0 sm/ 20,0 sm
Ins              89,0 sm/ 81,0 sm
Outs             117,5 sm/ 108,5 sm

That's an inch missing. 

The photos are not very good, the sun is not enough.

well I think these fit perfect, also lengthwise... especially since the 224 are the 1966 repros, back than in the 60s shorter inseams were common and looked more neatly or preppier. 

[thisyearsmodel]

Perfect length, as stated. And as Sympathy said above me, the proper way to sport a ‘66 repro! Shorter length, no cuff. I believe Hayashi-san would approve!

[spidereye]

Nice fit 👌

Is the 220, 221, and 224 the same denim fabric or are they all different?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

All different 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

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

Shop descriptions... 😏

"This is a thorough reproduction of the XX model manufactured by DENIME at the time of its founding. The fabric was developed jointly with Kurabo Industries based on recipes from the time. The uneven thread is ring-spun from the same rice cotton used at the time, rope-dyed with a special indigo color, and finished with vegetable dyeing to create a deep texture. A certain DENIME-like color has been reproduced."

I was close to ask you guys what "rice cotton" actually is. You can find it nearly on all shops that carry Denime because they all made a simple auto translation (also for some other brands).

Actually, it simply means "US cotton" and if you don't translate the whole text but the words themselves, it becomes clear.

 rice cotton
 

Yes- mi -> America
Apparently from the phonetic use of the Chinese characters/kanji: 亜米利加 (the second character 米 is mi "rice") -> "a mi ri ka".
For example: For England: "ei" 英, for Germany it's "doku" 独.

Like 耳 mimi -> "ears" which is "selvedge".

This is one of the Yahoo scores I totally forgot to have bid on. And one Saturday I got the mail "you've won!".

Orizzonti era sweater.

 

On the short side but for 2,610 ¥ I won't complain 😉

Any idea, how the Lot 220A (previous XX, right?) would compare to the upcoming 47 and 54 models?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Sorry, no idea how big the changes are.

Different denim is known. In terms of cut, we have to wait.

[Geeman]

Can someone confirm actual post wash measurements of the 224 in a 30 or 31?

[nick682]

I received a pair of 220a but I'm thinking they might be too small.  They are slightly sung pre-wash. I'm typically a 31 in warehouse and went with a size 30.  Can any fellow 220a owners offer some advice?

[reallypeacedoff]

They definitely shouldn't be snug before pre-soak. They will shrink 2.5" for sure in waist...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

My advice, take the same size as in Warehouse

[beautiful_FrEaK]

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. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Definitely on the shorter side but that's why you have high-rise jeans

Good length imo... and grey sweatshirts always goes well with jeans... and with that faded denim in particular

[AlientoyWorkmachine]

Perfect sweatshirt for your type 2

On page 124 there are post wash measurements of a 224 in 31”. I just ordered a pair of the same size from Warehouse and they will be here in the next couple days

[Geeman]

I saw those, cheers. After seeing BF got considerably more shrinkage was looking for some more info.
