Warehouse

@Alec Leamas I sized up but I could've gone with my normal size and probably would've been happier with the fit

[Newman]

Can anyone help me ID these or tell me the cut and fabric about these ones. I just found them in a box I've had for storage in 10-15 years. Didn't like the cut back then but now I quite like it. So thinking of start using them.

@Newman - they’re the Duckdigger DD108 - the same as the original Warehouse Warren DD108 (I wore one pair to threads years ago and have another pair squirrelled away). They’re a late 40s cut I believe and made with an oxidised 1000XX denim of about 14-14.5oz that’s supposed to give them some kind of unique, authentic ageing (I don’t think it does). They’re from around 2007 and Warehouse produced them after the Levi’s lawsuit when they started to move away from strict repros with red tabs and Levi’s style arcs (yours have the lasso loops) and before they moved back in that direction again. I hope that’s useful, you can find a bit more information in this thread or via a Google search and also some old Lighting magazines.

They’re great jeans, well done on the (re)discovery!

[Newman]

@Maynard Friedman ok cool, thanks for the info, I will try to dig up the post with your pair :).  

Just tried them and they seem to fit quite nicely even though I'm not used to the fit. 

What do you guys say, keep or sell? 

[AnOldFolkSong]

Keep, they look quite good

[MJF9]

Are they one wash or raw?  If the former, they look like they fit well and look nice jeans.  If they're going to shrink in the wash, that might be an issue

Anything else squirreled away?  

[Newman]

@mjf9 they are one wash so the short inseam should be okeyish. Otherwise I agree they are too short. Will have to wear these  uncuffed, which is nice for a change so I can see the roping. I decided to keep them as they are super comfortable. 

Yes I actually found a Steam Locomotive unsanforized unwashed denim jacket as well 

[MJF9]

Good news.  I think the length looks good mate.  Good luck with them.

Looking forward to the Steam Locomotive pics!!

[Alec Leamas]

Definitely keep! Fit looks great. What a thing to have stashed away!! Haha

S1001XX banner denim. Repaired all over

[southofnonorth]

My 1001 in need of some repairs

@JohnnyD @southofnonorth this is why I keep coming back to sufu 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

[Newman]

Agree, beautiful jeans! 

[Hendsch]

Had some photos taken by John Watson of the Radavist of some of my bikes while wearing my DD-1004XX.

Side note, I'm still on the look out for hand me down denim for my son...

[jkbrwn]

Ah, my real life worlds colliding on niche internet forums. Have met John a few times at Cub House events and he's always been nice. Jealous that you live in Santa Fe, jealous of the Omnium and jealous of how those 1004s look!

[AlientoyWorkmachine]

Lovely photos. 

I second looking out for a pair for my son. He's in an outdoor/forest based preschool and I know he would shred them. He's finally probably old enough to wear a pair of those Nippers, but it seems like that didn't stay afloat. I wonder if they're still out there?

^ I think @Flash sold all his Nippers to Tony at https://www.fulmine.co.uk/collections/nippers and looks like there's still some available. Top kids jeans - Ryan knows his stuff and his lad looked super cool in them.

@jkbrwn John is a good dude. Him and I interacted a bit in LA, but I now see him way more since moving to Santa Fe.

@MJF9 Thanks for the link, might be some Nippers under the tree this year.

Howdy y’all - long time no post as usual. 

Maybe there was some talk about the stitched-down red tabs some time ago and I’m failing to remember. Do the tabs deteriorate quickly if the stitching is undone?

[Maynard Friedman]

^ Mine didn’t. When I first unpicked the stitching the tab felt quite weak and flimsy but over time and washes, it somehow seems to have tightened up and become more resilient.

I unstitched the tab on my 25th anniversary pair and after a few washes the tab was trashed.
