^ Are they S1003XX or 1003SXX?

S1003XX

Wasn't expecting non-Levi's DSB's so these Cowboy's really piqued my interest:

Wow yeah that's interesting! 

[Alec Leamas]

Found some more 1003XX clues, here: https://indigoveins.com/warehouse-1003xx/

I believe the creator of this blog is on sufu?

Anyway, this pair have some of the details of the one's I've just picked up, though the pair described here have flannel pocket bags and normal buttons, whereas mine have plain pocket bags and donut buttons.

Ahh thank you! I knew it was one of the Swedish contingent, but I couldn't remember who!

These 1939 Montgomery Ward's are what started my love affair with Warehouse. Loved the back arcuates of these so much:

These popped up on Celluloid 1984.

Warehouse DEAD STOCK BLUE 1010 DSB OFFSET LOOP COWBOY PANTS WW II MODEL TAISEN JEANS WAREHOUSE 2025 New - Celluloid

I like them and I'm a sucker for Leepros. The size chart seems pretty similar to the cut of the TCB Cat's Drive, but with some WW2 details instead of a late 40s model. I'd consider getting them, but I still have a tab open for a deadstock pair of Sugar Cane M41027 in my size for less money which would scratch that itch.

Warehouse Bodies wool jacket came in earlier in the week and I am having trouble getting it dry cleaned because of the leather piping on the pockets. No care tag to be found and not sure of the details from Warehouse regarding when it was made, etc. Does anyone have any info on this jacket that may be helpful?

[Alec Leamas]

No advice @okimoto sorry but just to say that's a very nice jacket!!!

[jkbrwn]

Not that it’s a competition but my one wash DD-2001 just came in and it’s yet further proof as to why I love Banner so much. Type 1s suits my build far better than Type 2s - particularly my paper tag 2002 and Banner is also way comfier right off the bat. I can also actually button this up fully, comfortably. It’s a 44, 2002 is a 42, the largest size that was available. 
 

DD-2001 pocket on the left. 2002 pocket on the right.
 

Very stoked.

And for reference here is a photo earlier today of my 2002 fit wise. Noticeably slimmer all over but particularly in the shoulder. 

[Alec Leamas]

My S1003XX arrived today, so here are some raw images and measurements...

You'll see all the details below. I'm relatively certain it's banner denim, but I can't be sure - I've only seen Banner raw once. 

I feel I've struck it lucky here anyway! I'll be washing them at some point soon then working out how long I want them - I'm going to go for some cuff this time out, I reckon. Not too much though.

I've spammed a tonne of images in the hope that someone may have some idea on date or fabric type. Not bothered with an inseam measurement, but it stands at about 34 1/2" at present.

[Maynard Friedman]

They look great @Alec Leamas, now get a seam ripper and carefully unpick the tab stitching to reveal the GENUS beneath. I love the donut buttons too.

[Alec Leamas]

Absolutely! Had mixed results on other pairs with that, some are frayed to high heaven and others legible and pretty much unscathed! Will be doing it prior to the first wash I should think

Couple shots of the raw fit.

If this is banner, I know I'm in for hecka shrinkage, but I really like the rise, I hope it stays as lengthy as it was raw. Waist will be fine, the thighs will need a bit of caution as always.

@Maynard Friedman the red tab held up pretty well.

They're now in the wash!

[Alec Leamas]

Little measurement update on the S1003XX:

Waist: 16 1/2"
Thigh: 12 3/4"
FR: 13"
BR 16 1/2"
IS: 32"

Wondering whether it is indeed Banner denim as these shrinkage numbers don't look like your regular Banner denim stats.

It's also remained very hefty after the first wash. Wondering whether it's a slightly heavier "WW2" denim I know we've mentioned on here a few times.

Anyway - they're heading to SOAS for a hem and then will wash again and get some wear in.

@Alec Leamas hard to tell from photos alone, but I don’t think it’s the WW2 denim. Reason being my WW2 tailor jacket was described by celluloid as having the WW2 denim, and it looks to be both darker and a bit more irregular than what I’m seeing here. However, I will say that the stuff is stiff and crunchy. Additionally, I gave my jacket a second wash (hot) to get any more shrink out and got almost nothing on the 2nd go, which was unexpected for warehouse denim.

That would be absolutely right, I believe the current WW2 denim (a variation on DSB, I think?) is a lot rougher and irregular than this. I think this may be the older WW2 denim - from around the 25th anniversary kind of time - I remember 2 pairs came out then - the 1001XX-25 in banner and an S1001XX war model too - with a different fabric....I'm assuming this one to be that WW2 fabric, rather than your newer DSB-related one!

That comment on 2nd wash shrinkage also rings true for DSB type fabric, I get much less prolonged shrinkage on anything I have that's made from DSB.

Just got these bad boys in. I never thought I would get into Lees or Lee repros for that matter. These have a bit of a higher rise than my ‘cowboy’ pair . Maybe that’ll change a bit after shrinkage.

[frank]

Nice, you already ripped the top arc off? I need to wash and dry my pair to make sure they fit before I take a seam ripper to the arcs.

[Alec Leamas]

@olmecasteve - that older pair is looking amazing!!

Are both of these the same size??

That could be the S1001XX denim, but it's hard to say.  Figuring out Warehouse naming/denim styles can be confusing.

 

Here is a picture of my S1001XX 25th pair after their first wash.  I'll get some pics with better natural lighting when the weather is a little better here.

That denim does look more like banner to me - I've also considered the fact that I perhaps didn't give it quite enough time in the wash / water temp to liven it up.

I wonder what response I would get if I just went direct to Warehouse and asked them - has anyone tried anything like that before? I had the whole Denime hemming issue back and forth end of last year but that was more a practical matter than a denim nerdery investigation

It can't hurt to ask them! I'm curious what their response would be.

Here is a pic of the S1001XX before I washed them and taken in different lighting. 

[Alec Leamas]

Yeah - I will ask actually.

If I get any sort of response I'll share here!

Unwashed those S1001XX are looking more similar to mine, the patches are the same material too that's for sure, and had a look at the care tag on my 1001XX-25 and it's got blue text too, so probably all from around the same time!

@frank Yeah I get you. I just tried them on and they were just a bit loose in the waist, but I figured that would get fixed with a warm soak so I just went full commitment and got to ripping the arcs off.

@Alec Leamas Yes both are size 34. I referenced an old measurement chart for the cowboy model and they were pretty similar in measurements so i decided to stick to the same size.

I grabbed another pair of my favorite fitting jeans - won't wear them too hard though

[Alec Leamas]

Nice! Picking some of these up has crossed my mind again a few times. Love the hair-on patch!
