Montgomery Ward jeans?  

 

Was hoping those were a 30s Lee in the case when I saw these photos on Instragram.  But can see now that's not the case.

Need more pics to make up my mind

 

At least that star can easily be removed

[Broark]

Yeah, I'm going to need some more pictures before making any judgements but we'll see. 

[Bobbo]

Think we will see repros of smaller brands for the other cuts as well?

afaik, warehouse has produced star-stitch jeans 3 times:

with free&easy in 2005

with rugged museum in 2007

with beams (individual order only) in 2012

 

but this time, complete repro of montgomery.

i actually never seen the vintage montgomery with star stitch, so it should be pretty rare.

just quick googled and found only 1 match:

looks like ww2 repro(or something oversea model?), anyways wait for new announcement from warehouse.

According to BiG, the denim used in the Montgomery Ward jeans with be a LHT version or the 1000XX denim.  That sounds interesting, and would love to see that denim used in a cut like the 800 or 1000XX.  

 

The cinch on the MW jeans doesn't look long enough to be of any use.

Just ordered a pair of the 1101's after seeing them posted up on here.

[Broark]

I'm with setterman on this, if they come out with this LHT 1000XX denim in the 1001 or 800 cut I'd be all over a pair...

Not really a cinch back guy myself.

[ironheartfan123]

the denim indeed looks nice on the motgomery ward jeans as usual for WH.. i hope someone picks them up and posts more pics, any pagans or bloods in the house?

I'm surprised by the negative reaction to these jeans, though we're all entitled to our opinions. I'm personally glad to see them pay homage to some lesser-known jeans. 

[aho]

It's WH! They can do no wrong in my book and honestly we all know it'll fade well anyway Honestly when's the last time you saw a Montgomery Ward repro, cinch back and all?

[Broark]

Yeah I'm not complaining at all! Didn't mean for it to come off like that.

I'm just waiting for some full detail shots and info to drop. 

Like aho said, it's Warehouse. They can't do anything wrong really.

There's a reason they've been around for 20 years now! And that star looks very easily removable. 

[aho]

Not aimed at anyone, I'm just being a WH fanboy as usual  but really, I think it's awesome that they're willing to dig into their archives to pull out random models that no one has ever seen or thought of repro'ing and it goes to show how WH is always pushing their boundaries and limits and trying something new!

[Broark]

Agreed fully!
Hell, I had to do some searching to find anything on Montgomery Ward jeans at all honestly.

Even that didn't turn up with much. I'm looking forward to the full breakdown, and it looks like there's a non-cinch model too which is more my speed.

Well, aside from this thing  :

It's two things..... They're not what people here have been waiting for this year, and most of the guys in this thread are looking for classic post war style jeans.  They aren't the going for the depression era farmer look.

 

I'm sure the MW jeans are great, just not something I'd have any interest in wearing.  And if they're going to do something 30s, I'd much rather see them make the best late 30s 501 copy they can with their 1001 denim, or a hair on hide, buckle back Lee 101B.

now that would be super cool but you would have to be fast to get a pair , would sell out really fast

I suppose that's the problem with expectations; they're never met!

It hurts so much reading this, having had my pair of 700 and 1936 WH Lee HoH BB 101B's stolen not too long ago. There remains a void in the late 30's era of my jeans, that these MW's just won't fill.

[ironheartfan123]

is there a link to see measurements on/purchase the MW jeans yet?

[Max Power]

Crosspost from DWC - Warehouse 800, around 7 weeks in, two initial washes, one machine wash.

[Bobbo]

I never get tired of Warehouse denim.

 

Those will become so so good Max. Though I'm wondering if they will last throughout the entire contest, haha.
