Warehouse Denim Contest [pics and discussion]

[Panda-san]

Speaking of hardware, is anyone else afraid they're going to rip the buttons off the fly everytime they undo these? These fit me loose in the waist, so it's not like they're tight and I have to yank the buttons out. They just don't feel as secure as..., well, any of my other Japanese jeans.

Fit pics after a few days of wear.

Wash history: 5 hour warm soak, then hang dry. Then wash with Sam's & no detergent, then machine drier. Then a final overnight soak, hot machine wash, hot machine dry. They shrank after each one, but I could still go for a size 29. I got the 30. My Sam's are 32. But I have skinny thighs.

[lilldavid]

nice lilldavid. have they stretched out much?

Thanks! yeah I guess they stretched a bit, I did a machine wash at 60 degrees Celsius and threw them in the dryer on the hottest setting until they were almost all dry. Maybe next week I'll see if i cant shrink them a little bit more. they measure 16" across the waistline

No. These jeans feel pretty sturdy to me. I'm honestly surprised people are having construction issues.

hah! nice tab!

Same here, I am mystified about all the concerns with construction; these compare favorably with other japanese repros I have worn.

Regarding the fit comparisons, I agree with Gang; these fit me much the same as my APC NS, though these are tagged one size larger.

[fndmybetterhalf]

I just hot soaked and dried these, and my pocket stitching completely came apart. The patch is almost black from the drier. Not too impressed with these jeans so far

i'm confused. did your pocket stitching completely come apart or no...?

[JohnnyRed]

i'm confused. did your pocket stitching completely come apart or no...?

No I was totally joking! I thought the 'black patch' would make that obvious, but I guess I should edit that. No the construction on seems pretty great to me, I'm really confused about all the complaints

[cheep]

so my first pro fell thru... well... second pick, but the one who would beat them up the most. im pretty sure this other guy will do it. no names as of yet, but lets say hes east coast, repping florida, and used to write for big brother.

[kert]

i've had absolutely no construction issues with mine. stitching still in tact everywhere.

[bye4now12]

did you soak them? I can't imagine no fading without a soak but I've been in mine for a total of 10 hours and I already have a wallet fade starting

[Skeese]

Got my jeans ...

Will soak soon

[kenthenoob]

finally

I really don't understand why my jeans went from New York, to, Pennsylvania, to Utah, to Texas, then back to Utah, and now are back in Texas. They say they are on their way though. I guess better late than never (that is, if they ever come)

#210 - No need for alarm - checking in w/ start date of Nov. 10 - post pics later

[spunkey]

I got #156, too dark/late tonight for pics, but I got size 29, first real pair of raw demin and I'm in love. Hot soaked/dried and could just barely button to button, think I'll soak again tomorrow to see if they shrink anymore

no, not really. but the top button on my pair is loose. but im not worried about it.

[MirrorLockUp]

Yeah, the buttons feel weird in some way, but not so loose I'm afraid I'll rip them out. Also, there seems to be an odd distance between the top button and the second from the top button. Like there's just a bit of extra space there. But I think that was done on purpose.

Singleton's dope... I used to ride an Aesthetics deck signed by him back in high school. Tell him the internet says 'sup

I knew they were supposed to, was just checking. And figured it would help out anyone that wanted the jeans but missed out on the contest.

Anyway here's mine, size 29, true waist is a 33 and waist measures 32 on these

need to cuff it 3 times right now, gotta get them hemmed sometime

[noni]
