Warehouse Denim Contest [pics and discussion]

[pragmatics]

I'd get them rehemmed anyway whether you get more taken off or not. The hem spacing seems wonky, a little too much distance between the end of the pant and the stitching or something (or my eyes are just playing tricks on me).

On second thought maybe I'm just getting thrown off by the wearing angle on the right leg in the second picture.

gordons 660... he tapered them. working at a garment factory has its advantages.

Bit late, but damn...those look awesome. Sized down 7 from true waist though, wow... And tbh, they don't even look that tight, either. Props for the fit Gordon.

I didn't realize it had been a month already, feels like its only been a couple weeks. I've got wear, but nothing that would show up with my terrible photography skills so I'll wait a bit for the evo pics.

Soak, hot wash and hot dry

[tyson31]

yeah, those look great on gordon.

Wow.. as someone else stated before, DHL sucks! DHL was supposed to ship my item 3 days ago, but I guess they're too lazy to delivery it to me.. it's funny because it's currently stationed at our neighboring town, which is about five minutes away from my house. :confused:

there seems to be a misconception.

From what i understand everyone has a bigger waist than their jean size.

Gordon was 35 waist, but only a size 32 in jeans. A 30 in the warehouse contest jeans

is equal to a 32 so in reality a 29 would be sized down one, a 28 would be 2 and 27 would be 3. Think of APC sizing.

The first month has passed, and fast at that, so now it's time for the monthly evolution pictures! No closeups or anything, since I think it's too early...

Think I'm gonna do a soak today, maybe get them to shrink up just a little bit more, since they stretched a lot.

some pics for amusement

first repair: inside right leg near crotch

thigh was as slim as i wanted but waist was a tad too big.....so added a few darts.... with green thread for added spice

possibly cheesy, but just for fun added levi's (small e) tab from crappy old 527's i was cutting up / tossing out. warehouse shouldn't mind, they've used tabs themselves. thought about altering the wording to read warehouse or sufu, but couldn't figure out a way to do it.

sewing skillz are still rather amateurish i'm afraid

[dunkin deeznuts]

the repair and waist tightening look good data...not sure about the levis tab though...

[datasupa]

my feelings are also a little divided on the tab

it will probably fall off with wear by year's end anyway

[kenthenoob]

oh, did you use red thread to sew the tag on? clever

[datasupa]

^^yeah, didn't feel it was worth it to detach the back pocket and resew it back on

The stiching on mine is coming apart in the exact same spot.

me three..

[cheep]

mine too... already stitched it back up.

[concealed]

if i had a camera i would show you mine, but i have stitched both sides and i just added a patch of old nudie denim to prevent future blowouts, the spot is starting to get thin

[cheep]

its funny, because my other 660s that are my true size didnt have this problem, and they have alot more wear on them.

[jubei]

if I were Warehouse I would use the contest to tweak the pattern of the 660 and come out with a new spec that address some of the issues others have had, namely:

crotch wear

leg tapering

seat fit

They could call it the 661 or seomthing like that...and they wouldn't have to stop producing the 660 either, just offer an alternative based on feedback. I mean, how often is it that you get to receive voluntary feedback from hundreds of paying customers on how better to improve your product?

Just a thought...

[cheep]

they did stop producing the 660... and all other 5 pocket levis style jeans. they are now focusing on the duckdigger style stuff.

[ChattyPuma]

I just don't get the duckdigger style. It looks too frumpy to me....and I'm kinda a country bumpkin in ways.

[Fookums]

mine too... already stitched it back up.

Me 5. It's not coming apart anywhere else though. I guess I'll try to get some pics today then, (even if theres not that much to show

[bye4now12]

seriously? Fuck, so far these are the best fitting pair of jeans I've had, although if I could I might have gone down one more size.

I might need to order another pair just to keep around for whenever these are done.

fit (w31) pics after almost 1 month of daily wear.

^ Do you think a good hot wash will get rid of the pointy oompa loompa hips?

Ouch! I think I'm stuck with it. Could have sized down more, but I'm happy with the overall fit.

[tyson31]

^

i think everybody could have sized down with these fuckers ... but your fit is good.

[kenthenoob]

i should've been ballsy and stuck with my first pair. i sized up 2 for my actual post soak fit.

[tyson31]

^

i know, gordon told me the other day that his size 28 (33 raw, barely soaked and measured 31 when he started to wear them) are now starting to sag, and he and I wear the same size ... wtf? i ended up with a 33 and they haven't stretched out that much, but i should have got a 32 in retrospect.

[kenthenoob]

i demand a recall!!! lol kidding. kinda.sorta...

i had a size 32 at first and then swapped for a 34 :|
