cross post from Osaka 5 thread. 700 OW and 1001XX 15th Anniv. Can't begin to guess at the washes and wear on the 1001XX. 700s are 7 1/2 months old, one wash by the factory, two by me, I'm guessing a little over 4 months actual wear.

Seeing these has me sold on Warehouse. Can I expect this kind of fading on all Warehouse? Or specifically the 660 model?

[setterman]

the 660, 700, and 800 all use the same denim (old 1000XX). look to the 660 contest page on BiG's website to see the various results that you can get.

What Warehouse jeans are comparable to Billikenman 101 denim?

Happy washing

Keep on wearing and never retire these, they are fvckin lovely.

[SLAB]

anyone picked up the 1100? I wonder which denim they use for that one.

Glad to hear my pair of jeans could lure you to the Warehouse side, phillyfresh

[setterman]

And I'll add, the measurements for warehouse at BiG are right on. The 800 is only available in one wash, and my experience with the O/W 700s is that they will shrink a tiny bit, but not enough to make a difference in sizing. In a different thread you posted some measurements you were looking for phillyfresh, and Maynard suggested the 800 in a size 31. But since the waist stretches easily, you might want to consider a 30.

[PhillyFresh]

I've always been under the impression that the OW wouldn't fade as well as the raw because, well, they aren't raw. That and I just like the feel of raw, stiff denim. Can I expect the same results?

[Quoise1203]

Since they are unsanforized you should soak them anyway (if you were able to buy the raws), so there won't be any effect on fades in the end.

[setterman]

My 700s above are one wash, and the close up shot give a true idea of the color and wear. Camera doesn't capture it as well I'd like, but they're fading fine and will have plenty of contrast by the time they're a year old.

All the one wash has done is take care of the first wash/soak for ya, and made sizing a lot easier. And you HAVE to soak raw denim before wearing, unless you want to put a bunch of combs and whiskers into a pair of jeans, and then have them move two or three inches up your leg when the jeans finally get wet.

[PhillyFresh]

So the OW are still unsanforized?

I always thought OW were sanforized, so that you wouldnt have to do all that initial soaking/shrinking.

[Maynard Friedman]

Nooooooo!

Sanforized means the fabric itself is pre-shrunk (without washing) using a special compression process.

Unsanforized means the fabric has not been sanforized so will shrink upon washing.

One wash (in this context) refers to unsanforized jeans that have been factory washed once to eliminate the shrinkage before buying.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanforization

http://www.rawrdenim.com/2012/08/what-is-sanforization-and-why-does-it-matter/

"Unsanforized denim will shrink a few inches in the waist and inseam when it is first soaked, hence Levi’s aptly-named “Shrink-To-Fit†denim. Sanforized denim shrinks is generally considered to be “pre-shrunkâ€, and therefore does not need to be sized up or down accordingly.".

One wash are "shrink to fit" jeans that have been washed once.

[PhillyFresh]

So how exactly do Warehouse size? Im a true 30-31. I was looking at 31s and 32s on BIG but from earlier posts ppl say to size down 2??

Received the new 1001XX in the mail yesterday. The denim is amazing. Setterman is right. The new 1001xx is darker and much bluer than the 15th version which is somewhat grey casted. The back pocket stitching is yellow instead of the usual orange color.

2012 1001XX (Left); 15th 1001XX (Right)

2012 1001XX (Left); 2011 1000XX (Right)

Still working on my warren so they have to wait till the end of the summer to get into my rotation.

You should post some fitting picture for the WH 1001xx (2012)

Would love to see the fit
