Apart from the WH/Hinoya collab 1941 model, have Warehouse ever released a 1941 or a 1942 buckleback model as standard?

As far as l'm aware the only 20's repro models available have been the 1922 model (several variations) and a 1927 model. 1930's repro wise l've only seen a 1936 model (early 1937 model with under-tucked rear centre belt loop) which l think @Broark had a pair(?)

If you count this as a standard, then yes

@beautiful_FrEaK - I think it's DSB, or something DSB-like.

I'm sure I've read that somewhere, but can't remember where now.

 

EDIT: Takeoff now also have them for preorder, and list the denim as the 6.7 x 6.7 WW2 denim, which is the DSB-like one that came out at a similar time, I think?

https://www.takeoff-clothing.com/item_detail?item_id=8574

Same description Celluloid was using for the denim. Probably that's all what they got from Warehouse HQ

There were so many WW2 models over the last years so yes, maybe the market and we are saturated. Not only from Warehouse but also all the other brands.

Is it a new denim or an existing denim? Couldn't figure it out by the description. 

I won't buy them anyway, somehow WH doesn't really spark my interest in the last years although they make great products.
 

The difference is the brownish weft. Like the WH Denime.
Otherwise it sounds like the DSB WWII denim from WH with the pink (and not the orange) selvedge.

Sorry prob millionth time this has been asked. Even AI hasn't helped!

Which Cut is slimmer the 1000x or the 1001xx? 

Is there a difference in 1001xx 1947 and 1953 cuts?

TIA

I wouldn't say either the 1001XX or 1000XX is slimmer than the other, the 1000XX is more of straight cut, as in it does not taper at all from the knee. The 1000XX may also have a marginally higher rise, but, that is often more determined by the period cut, e.g. 1947 cuts have a higher rise than a 53/54.

Yes, there is a difference between 1947 and 1953 cuts - similarly to the above, the 1947 has a higher rise, and also tapers relatively significantly, whereas the 1953 has a slightly lower rise (not by much, the rise comes down more so in 1954) and does not taper from the knee as noticeably.

So there's two different comparisons going on there, the 1001XX vs the 1000XX. And then 1947 vs 1953, confusingly, I assume you are referring to the two DSB 47 & 53 cuts, which are actually numbered 1001XX (1000XX), just to add a layer of confusion.

All of the above info still stands though despite that confusing addition!

A side note: if it is the 1001XX (1000XX) 1953 in deadstock blue denim you're looking at, a feature on them I really do like is the back pockets, the arcs are all jaunty, and, more uniquely - the folded over material at the top of the pocket is visible - I love that. Nearly picked up another pair in 34 in the recent re-release but pondered on it too long and they all seem to be gone, at a reasonable price anyway.

There is also a Duck Digger 1947 1001xx model without the (1000xx) labelling that uses Banner Denim instead of the DSB denim.

I have a pair of those DD ones. They have a nice high rise, but they're surprisingly pretty slim through the legs, at least in my size.

That- the "(1000XX)" in the "1001XX (1000XX)" name- means that it's DSB. If I remember it correctly.

Yes that is my understanding too. If 1000xx appears in the model alongside 1001xx, I understood it to be DSB. Otherwise, I understood it to be Banner. 

I’ve gotten really confused by their nomenclature though especially after they launched the new Banner Denim through Denime

[Lorcan]

I think they should put out a Warehouse x Denime collab model Lot 1001xx (1000xx) 220-xx47 [1947 model] that uses a DSB version of Denime's Banner denim with Warehouse's 1947 cut just to introduce some clarity to the line-up and make the most Warehouse-y jean to ever Warehouse

[indigoeagle]

Lot 1204 Chino Shorts
Short version of the Lot 1082 chinos.
9oz denim, rope-dyed warp yarns, natural weft thread

nice selvedge in the pockets

perhaps two months of wear and two washes

Has Warehouse's N1 always been so pricey?
It costs JPY 150,700.

The Freewheelers one is even cheaper at JPY 148,500.

The jeans (50s here) actually have the same price: JPY 35,200. FW 1951 and WH 1954.

For the jeans jackets it's still quite a difference. The WH type 2 Lot 2002XX(2000XX)【1953MODEL】costs JPY 42,900, while the FW Lot 507XX 1951 is sold for JPY 53,900.

It's very difficult to remember the differences of all the models and when which one was released.

Look at your post here.

I have that often, that I'm writing something and then realize I had written the same before without remembering

Anyway- as has been posted above, here is the '22 1941 version. With the black buckle but no reversed yoke.
In DSB 6.7x6.6 pink selvedge WWII denim.

And here the Hinoya anniversary model with the reversed yoke.
In the same denim.
The translated description: 
"Based on the 1937 model, they also feature the fabric and details of the 1941 model, known as the early wartime period. They are not exact replicas of vintage jeans, but rather original specifications conceived and proposed by Hinoya. The most distinctive feature of these jeans is the back yoke, which has a rolled seam on top, a design known as a "reverse high" (逆高-gyaku kou) seam."

The back pockets look a little bit different.
The cut seems to be more or less the same with the '22 1941 being a bit wider at W34 N/W: 24cm vs. Hinoya W34 N/W: 22.5cm.

The 1941 hasn't been released this year yet, so should come soon.
 

[Dr_Heech]

@indigoeagle yeah l obviously remember the 1941 model they released without the reverse yoke (first pic) but didn't like them. Apart from the inaccurate (in my mind) yoke, the pockets look too long and slim and the arcs aren't that interesting, whereas the Hinoya 41's have better details all round, although l would lose that added white label under the patch. Stitching colour between the two is another difference.

Ah, ok. Sorry, I had mistunderstood.
Hopefully the upcoming one (wasn't it announced in the catalogue a year ago or so? New catalogue should come soon, too, no) is more to your liking.

I think, Freewheelers will have some denim models come out in February or March. But no arcs, unless you Shredwin's granny can help out.

[Dr_Heech]

No problem and thanks. I've got plenty to keep me going,  A dozen pairs at least and not forgetting my Warehouse 1920s tux plus that unused raw Freewheelers 1942 tux. Both of which luckily have arcs with no help from shredwin's Granny 😁

But you know me, l'm a sucker for a decent repro 501XX so always have an eye out.

The 1000xx just got restocked! Celluloid says it‘s the 1946 but Bears says it‘s based on the Duck Digger 1947s. Anyways I snagged a pair and I also got the new WW2 Denime. I‘ll be posting pics and shrinkage reports soon!

I've always known the current DSB 1000xx as a 1946 model, but unsurprising confusion around Warehouse's cuts!

Really interested in seeing the pics and shrinkage numbers on the WW2 Denime!! (I know wrong thread for that though!)

[cusswords]

These are the latest 1101s in the newer 60s denim. I bought them when they were released and I have not kept track of wash or wear. I’ve got an another of 1101 from 2016 or so with the banner denim and I’ll get a comparison shot one day. This denim is a bit of a departure from the standard Warehouse denims. The color and texture reminds of a 70s Levi’s trucker jacket. I like the banner denim more overall, but this denim feels much more appropriate for the a Big E, post XX model.

They look great! I had a pair of these briefly, but it became obvious I'd picked up the wrong size pretty quickly.

Loved the denim and had such a bright blue tint to it quickly - and was clearly going to fade well and you've also demonstrated that!

If they do another run of these I would be very tempted!

Did you get anywhere with photos of either of these pairs? Recently got my 1000XX out of storage and enjoying them!

[PBTony]

Have Warehouse stopped making the 1101? Can't see any raw/one wash in stock? Is there a new 60s model that replaces them?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The 1101 is/was never a continuous product. It's always seasonal so you  have to wait.

[Alec Leamas]

Yup, as above, it’s a now and again one. As always with Warehouse no one seems to know what and when will be restocked.

The last run they did with the new denim mentioned above was pretty sweet though!

It certainly feels like we’re reaching the end of the obscure WW2 variations phase. 

They aren’t anything crazy, but I am currently missing a wacky pocket bagged, painted on arcs pair and it’s a lucky happenstance that it’s also the WH 30th that fulfils that gap for me.

I like them, but after some sensible (and brief) consideration, I’m waiting for the W34’s to come into stock. Or maybe will preorder.

Did you get them?

ScytheTV with Hooper were recently talking about that pair. 
Interestingly they said- and I don't know, that it has been written anywhere/strangely not in the WH product description- the denim is not the same as that of the other WWII models. 
I guess they keep some obscure details for their retailers.
Anyway- while the WH denim is normally made by a mill in Okayama, this one denim is made by Kurabo. Apparently it looks more smooth/even at first but will develop character/become rougher with washing/shrinking.
So that besides the different flannel pattern is probably the largest difference to the DuckDigger S1003XX.

I didn't in the end.

In the lead up to the release, I started wearing some other Warehouse pairs and realised that for now, their cuts just aren't my preference.

I find that for the thigh + rise measurements I need, the waists are too big - there are exceptions though like the 1001XX DD-1947.

I actually have a non-anniversary pair of S1003XX (not Duck Digger either, a random pair I have yet to fully identify the provenance of) - so am aware of how the cut fits me, and it's not my current preference, as much as I still love the brand!

However - all of my experience with Kurabo denim to date has been very enjoyable indeed. I think I've missed out on the W34 release entirely though.

Warehouse 1001xx, Self Edge edition, worn since fall 2021. I'd estimate these have about a year of actual wear, and numerous washes past the mark of about five months of wear. Color/contrast in closeup shots is very accurate. One of my favorite fades I've produced, and one of my favorite fabrics I've worn, as well - the Banner denim is really impressive. These jeans are functionally retired, though I may use them for dirty/hard workin' pants when needed. They could certainly keep going but would require costly repairs to the knees and rear end, and I'm not as happy about the fit now, as these are pretty saggy in the rear end and I generally prefer a longer rise now. 

This was one of the most reactive/fast-fading fabrics I've worn. With some denim (like Flat Head's), I'm just getting started with the fades around a year of wear, but I feel like I brought out the optimal color/texture of this denim in just a year of wear time, they could pass for a pair that's been worn for a year and a half, or more.

1101 Banner denim and the new denim. 
 

[NilsLW]

Both look great but the new denim is a lot more appropriate for a 66 cut. What's the inseam shrunk to after all the washes?

[cusswords]

The old 1101s have the standard Warehouse inseam and are about 32”. I had the new ones hemmed to about 30.5”. 
 

I know every roll of denim is a little different from the last, and the old 1101s are easily my favorite of the few banner denim pieces I own. The crosshatching really pops out through the twill. The new 1101s a starting to take on a great texture and need a few more washes to really take off.
