My vote goes to 1000XX!

Leaning towards these, as well ... hoping they’d be available stateside though.  I don’t particularly relish having to go through the proxy route.

25th anniversary '46 jeans have arrived, I'll unpick the arcs and tab tomorrow and get some better photos then.
Lighting on these is a little off since I just snapped these photos quickly before sunset.
Shipped via DHL (pricing was the same as EMS actually) and arrived in a little over 24 hours which is insane.
Debating if I should keep the 25th tab on or not.

[aho 677,906]

Congrats! Glad to see them, really like the details all around

[MJF9 12,138]

@Broark result! Fit pics would be good when you get a chance 

[Dr_Heech 568,900]

Nice pickup @Broark

 

[Broark 17,307]

Thanks everyone, I'll get them unpicked and washed this morning most likely so fit pics tomorrow hopefully.

[Broark 17,307]

Well, a little disappointed as I gave them an initial wash and one of the rivets fell off one of the front pockets. I guess it shouldn’t be a difficult fix with a hammer? Anyone have any experience fixing this? I’ll get some photos later. Also even though I ripped the red barracking off the tab really cleanly it got destroyed in the wash. Oh well. 

[tchengaa 112]

what does the dd fabric feel like? is it a bit rough?

[cusswords 1,704]

I’m 1 for 2 cleanly picked tabs. 

 

And since we’ve been talking new denim, here’s some banner denim now that I have some good lighting and a full length mirror.  

[Broark 17,307]

Here they are before the tab got destroyed in the wash.


And any tips on how to fix this back on?
Y'all know I've owned so many jeans and this is the first time this has ever happened.

[kiya 1,080,253]

There's no way to put that back on yourself.  I suggest sending it back to the store you got em from and they'll send you a new pair.  Defects like that are always either repaired or swapped out by the retailer for free.

[Broark 17,307]

I've emailed Warehouse directly about this (since I preordered through them).
Not expecting a swap out, that's part of the risk involved with ordering direct. But we'll see!

The denim on the s 1001xx is incredible ,but he does not much shrinking.So i am afraid to buy a 1000xx in the same denim ,my old 1000xx in w 33 fits like 32,but with the new denim it will be a adventure.

Are you satisfied with sizing ? Or its to big too?

I actually haven't tried them on yet since I've been trying to fix the rivet situation.
I suspect they'll feel similar to my other 1001XX jeans.

Of course there is a way to fix it

YouTube "How to Set Copper Rivets" and/or Google "How to Set Copper Rivets in Jeans"

HERE you will find an example of setting rivets in leather.

You might need to buy/get a couple of simple tools to be able to sort it out, either of this it's a piece of cake.

Also, your new pair of jeans have already a story to tell, even before you started wearing them ;-)

I would just put that washer back over the rivet and hammer the pin flat 

[BrownMetallic 602,474]

@zuko Never had an issue w/rivets,  but that’s good to know ... thanks!

[Broark 17,307]

So far my at-home attempts haven't worked, going to go buy something like this tonight and see if it helps with striking the cap back on...
No word from Warehouse yet either. Might send them to Rain at Indigo Proof if this doesn't work.

careful with doing too much to get it to work. if either part of the rivet gets too bent or the washer gets warped, it'll be impossible to put back on even if you have the right equipment. I'm saying that bc the rivet is a WH branded rivet and I'm guessing whoever can fix it for you will just have blank rivets. 

[julian-wolf 8,423]

^ Shouldn’t be too much of a bother, here, since the rivets are a mix of branded and unbranded to begin with—if anything, needing to add in a replacement from a third party would add to whole effect

[Broark 17,307]

I've been pretty careful so far, and the rivet is in decent shape. But like Julian said, they're mixed branded rivets so if I have to throw in a third party rivet then it'll be even more repro right? 

[Broark 17,307]

Well I've given up on resetting it myself, Warehouse basically said get in contact with the retailer you purchased them from...which was them. 
But luckily someone agreed to help me replace it. Sending them out tomorrow. 

[SuperJackle 1,107]

@Broark I know you’ve probably sent them off, but I’ll bet you could also just put a tiny bit of JB weld on that. They make specific versions for copper that I’ve used to repair copper plumbing joints. 
 

EDIT: nevermind; it looks like the problem is getting the washer back on, not securing it. 

Edited August 11, 2020 by SuperJackle

[Broark 17,307]

Yeah I think the post was just too short to secure the washer on at all.
I've just sent them off, will post some photos once they're back.

[Lazerr 184]

@Broark I hope you are able to get it fixed quick! I ordered the same pair last week so hopefully there aren't any issues with them. 

[Broark 17,307]

@Lazerr this is the first time I've ever had this happen to a pair of jeans before. 3 pairs of WH so far and no issues.
I think my washing machine is just super aggressive I guess.

[Lazerr 184]

@Broark ahh good to know! I’ll try to be a bit gentle with the first wash then. 

[Broark 17,307]

@Lazerr I wouldn’t worry too much about it, I think that one rivet was just a dud. No issues with any of my other WH jeans. 

[BrownMetallic 602,474]

Looks like I’m breaking in 2 pairs of 40’s this F/W ... had I change of heart about the 1001 & scooped the s1001, instead.
