Warehouse

[Sugar Mountain]

Hey all. Here are my Warehouse 1101, worn regularly for about 18 months I think. Gotta love how the Banner denim evolves. I began wearing them a little before my eldest son was born in 2017 and discovered a whole new world of knee fades upon his arrival 😌… Jumping forward a few years, I’ve started wearing them again recently so will aim to get better shots of them on here later down the line.

Has there ever been a Warehouse type 1 or type 2 jacket made with the 1000XX memphis cotton (6x6, 14.5oz)?

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.

Hi mate! Like Maynard says that is my not so updated blog. Rarely stops by here these days, easier to shoot me a dm on instagram (indigovein).

What do you want to know? 
 

Yours seems like a newer model than mine, going by the patch design. But I still think they used the 1000xx denim on the 1003 models back then.

Comparing the DSB with the WWII denim.
The jacket sleeve is from the Blanket lined Lot.2001XX(2000XX) which is the 7.5x7.5 pink selvedge DSB denim.
The jeans are the 25th Anniversary S1001XX (1946) 6.7x6.6 orange selvedge WWII denim.

So, I've looked again into the different types of denim by WH for the years 30-50s.
Besides the well known banner (7x7, ca. 13.5/13.75oz) and Memphis cotton denim (6x6, 14.5oz) there are at least three different other ones.

1. The new denim, WWII denim.
I think, this was first introduced with the 25th anniversary pair S1001XX (1946) (perhaps earlier?).
This denim is not DSB and has an orange selvedge.
It's 6.7x6.6, ca. 14oz. And quite coarse.

The relatively recent Duck Digger Lot S1003XX  (1944 MODEL) (with the flannel pocket bags) is also of that denim.

2. Then there are two DSB.
Both have a pink selvedge. I guess, the idea is, that same as the denim has changed by oxidation in the decades of the storage, the selvedge lines have also changed.
Same with the tab, which is also pink in some pairs.
The suffix (1000XX) seems to indicate DSB. For jackets (2000XX).
a) the lighter one 7.5x7.5 ca. 13oz
Used for example for the 1953 and 1954 pairs. Also for the Lot.2001XX(2000XX) blanket lined jacket and the 1936 model.

b) the heavier one 6.7x6.6, ca. 14oz.
The Lot S1003XX(1000XX)【1942MODEL】is made of this denim.
