denim contest: dubbleworks 660 interst check

[sneakeraddict]

Thanks for the info.

I'm out on this now, due to inseam, but sounds like it will be a great contest.

I find it implausible for Warehouse to say "its not possible to make a 36 inseam" - its perfectly possible - just be honest and say "we cant be bothered", rather than lie.

Anyway, rant over. Looks like it will be a great contest for those who can join.

Where's BP - I'm back in the Sugar Cane comp!

[-questionmark-]

nobody actually needs a 36 inseam post soak anyway. i can live without ridiculous stacking on my jeans.

[PG2G]

I'm out too. A 36" inseam before shrinking is probably going to end up around 33".

[Guest jeffvyain]

I won't be able to be in for sure until BIG does their wash/dry method on these and gives us solid feedback on the inseam. 36 was ideal, 34 is minimum. If warehouse can't pull a solid, measured 34 post-wash, they're not trying very hard to make this a truly special item. It almost sounds like they're not changing it at all.

Well I'm 6'6" so speak for yourself.

But I hope the contest goes well for everybody involved.

alright then.

i still think most people would be fine without a 36" inseam. im 6'2'' and im good with a 32 inseam. i would prefer a longer inseam but i dont really care all too much to be honest.

[brentos]

Im excited...

Yeah - it's kind of said...I also thought that going a bit out of their way would be a great rep for the brand...

It sucks for all those who really need a 36 inseam...

But I guess the majority will be fine with 34 prewash...

Here's a fit picture of a smaller guy (175cm/5'9", 55kg/121lbs size 29):

[Guest jeffvyain]

looks like a great fit, if you're a shorty. Guess we'll have to see, but I'm guessing they'll lose a lot of possible customers by going with the short length. 150 people wanting these is a lot different economies of scale than 250...

[munkyballz]

Man, for the first time, being semi-vertically challenged has actually benefited me somewhat, heh. Though, that sucks for the taller sufu'ers out there...

Still a lot of details left I'm sure, but if the price can be kept low like originally thought and pre-order payments aren't collected tooooo soon, I'm still stoked and in this epic mutha'.

[ninjapie]

Hm, kinda the same build as me. I weigh 62ish, though.

29 in raw should be good.

[cheep]

ok... we will be able to have a 36" post shrink inseam... bad japanese translation... sorry for the confusion. warehouse has never sold jeans that long... so this is a first.

heres what we have confirmed so far.

*660 cut

*1000xx denim

*Original leather patch

*Warehouse hardware

*Raw unwashed state

*36" post wash inseam

fit pics and measurements should happen next week.

Can it get any better:D

I'm back in!!!

[fre-co]

Nice work cheep!

[justiz2]

I'm in. Deposit or whatever, anything to get my hands on a pair....

Thanks for all your work cheep

[cheep]

pre orders should be able to start by the end of next week. i think it will be an extra 10$ for the post shrink 36 inseam... but like i said, this is somethign warehouse is only doing for us, and has never done before.

oh, and usually, to get this kind of customization, you would need 2000+ pairs ordered, so this is really somethign special. japanese shop minimums are usually around 1000 pair, and they get what warehouse gives them.

[justinbaily21]

Is there any way to try these on at BiG before we make the purchase? I assume that that is asking far too much.

Either way, great job cheep.

[cheep]

probably not...

[-questionmark-]

would it be possible to pay for and pick up my pair at BiG? as to avoid shipping costs/times?

[cheep]

probably... but lets wait for any more payment questions till i know something about that.

ok? i dont know anything about payment or cost as of right now. that will come next week.

[beatle]

GREAT ...mothafucka - you just made my day !!

[PG2G]

Wooohoo

[mizanation]

this is revolutionary. thanks cheep, gordon and warehouse. i wish i could give gordon and warehouse rep, but accept my thanks instead.

[cheep]

yeah... this is... these are some real special jeans. WH has never done the following:

raw

36" inseam

dubbleworks is also the budget brand. usually they use non-brand specific denim, but we are getting denim that is only used by warehouse, and only in the 1000xx. we also get upgraded hardware, and a leather patch insted of paper. and all of this at around japanese retail for the cheaper version of the jeans.

[Chicken]

insane.

tgfsf (thank god for superfuture)

[cheep]

thank god for gordon... hes really the one who is making this happen.

[Chicken]

yes. gordon is a big part of superfuture.

(i just realized the bad pun and i'm a little embarrassed.)

[will_i_am]

maybe there should be an announcement that the 36' is still available?

change in the title?

a lot of people were discouraged when it was assumed we couldn't get that length.

[beninparis]

one single world, french but universal:

BRAVO

for making that happened
