I recently got these Warehouse X Unique Jean Store collaboration Jeans in hand! They use the 1947 DSB cut but the fabric is banner denim 😮‍💨 This is perfect for me because I need a really long rise for comfort reasons so the 1001xx never really suited me, however I’ve always wanted to try the almost mythical banner denim and these Jeans fit the bill perfectly.

I soaked them in the bathtub on the highest temperature setting for 60 minutes and agitated every 20 minutes. This gave me exactly the maximum shrinkage listed by Warehouse:

Warehouse 1947 Banner 34 Measurements before and after soak:

Waist: 91cm => 85cm

Front Rise: 33.5cm => 32cm

Thigh: 34.8cm => 33.5cm

Knee (34cm down from crotch seam): 26cm => 25cm

Inseam L: 89.8cm => 83cm 

Inseam R: 90cm => 83cm

Outseam L: 121.5cm => 112.5cm 

Outseam R: 121.5cm => 112.5cm 

Leg Opening L: 23.5cm => 22.5cm

Leg Opening R: 23.5cm => 23cm

Interesting that they use some kind of banner denim in the dsb line too. Just bought the normal 1001xx and a higher rise would not hurt at all. Also thighs could have a bit more room but maybe I am too used to TCB’s 50s and SC 1947’s.

I also tried to achieve maximum shrinkage out of my size 34 1001xx.

I did a 30 minutes soak in 60c and then a delicate wash in 60c without spin cycle. Hang dry.

Here are the measurements raw and after one wash.

 

Raw

OW

Waist flat

45cm

41

Waist BiG

47,5cm

43

Front rise

32cm

30

Back rise

42,5cm

38

Hip (7cm from crotch)

62cm

58,5

Upper thigh

34,5cm

32,5

Mid thigh (10 cm from crotch)

31cm

29,5

Knee (30 cm from crotch)

25,5cm

24

Inseam

90cm

80

Leg opening

23,5cm

22

I am happy with the shrinkage but suprised how much the back rise shrinkaged compared to the front rise. I think the whole top block will strech with a wear so I dont worry about it.

Edit. So only a few hours wear the back rise streched to 41cm when front rise streched 30,5cm. The waist streched to 42,5cm (44cm BiG) as I expected. The hips streched a 1 cm too and might strech more.

I’m looking to score a pair of the 53 or 47 1001xx in a 36 if anyone sees anything online that’ll ship to the US. I swear I’ve been trying to buy a pair of 1001s for years but everything always instantly sells out.

Try Western River. They ship to the US and are easy to communicate with. Looks like they have the 1001xx 1947 in-stock in a bunch of sizes, 36 included. https://store.w-river.com/smartphone/detail.html?id=000000004275&category_code=ct268&sort=recommend&page=1

Interested, has anyone been able to grab 1008 1947 MW Pre-Rodeo Jeans? They seem to sell out in japanese web shops quickly.

I know that they’re based on a little later models, but I did notice that TCB re-released their late 50s-60s Working Cat Hero 11MWZ repro and Junky has an official 1951 11MW repro in their Lee Archives collection if you can’t find a WH pit and you’re looking for other options that scratch that itch

Any word on the 30th anniversary jackets seeing the light of day? I want to pick one up but at this rate they’ll be hanging in a closet until fall rolls around.

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 :D

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.

4b_11a_wh_1003xx_1000xx_1941model.jpg

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."

1003hxx-dsb-12_1800x1800.jpg?v=173356813

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.
 

The 1941 is getting released now.
Heavier DSB with pink selvedge.

Seems to fit big.
Yoke seems to be the standard one.

Are those the DD 1946’s? I believe I have the same pair. Yours looks great!

^No, I’m not sure on the details but I think they were an irregular run that may have been produced for the Inazuma festival or Lucky bags.

Ah. They look really similar, have the same rounded coin pocket and little bit of waistband runoff as my 1003's. What year did you get them?

I bought them in early 2021 from Yahoo auctions, here they are new (after having arcs removed). They have the same cream/burgundy patch as the cotton/linen 800s.

Anyone here picking up the John Mung denim blouse and jeans? Price seems reasonable. Denim looks interesting. Limited to 200 tuxes apparently. 

Pinched from lnsta...

Sorry Austin that was thoughtless of me l was only enquiring as would love to know what the denim was like first hand and know how much you like to experience a wide range of denims, l'm sure some on here will pick a garment for us to nit pick over. Get back to getting better mate 🙂

@Dr_Heech thanks for posting... look interesting... especially that early jacket design with the wide shoulders and straight shoulder opening... seed planted :)... couldn't find them for sale at warehouse jp though... just window shopping!

This new FW '41 tux can't be far off now @Broark

Not trying to influence in anyway or plant seeds,  was honestly just thinking who would most likely be interested (apart from me - i do like the jeans but not the wrong sided patch). Tbf that blouse is essentially the same blouse as your FW 1922(?) model albeit different denim.

That denim does look REALLY good though but don't need it; 42 tux still on ice.

Looking forward to that FW 41 tux

@Dr_Heech Those remind me a lot of the old triple stitch cowboy Lee repro they made a while back.
