@tooth how was your experience with indigo proof? I hear she’s tops ? 

[tooth 105]

@unders - for a while now I've wanted to wear a repro pair as they may have been worn back in the day; purely speculative, but I doubt people in the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's obsessed over their wear/wash routine as I have with every other pair I've worn over the past ~15 years. So I threw caution to the wind and am quite happy with the results to date. I was also thinking that maybe this type of wash routine (ie: no routine) is what Warehouse had in mind with the development of the DSB denim (again, speculation). By the way, I took a lot of inspiration from other guys on this forum and their routines and I've also just become less enthused by my higher-contrast jeans, esp repros, so figured why not wash and see what happens - what's the worst that can happen?

@shredwin_206 - Rain at Indigo Proof is awesome. If I had more patience I would have waited for her to open up her repair applications, but I'm super happy with the service provided by Denim Therapy... I had my jeans back within 10 days of shipping them out and I think the price was quite fair. Will definitely use them again.

these turned out great.

[Dr_Heech 568,658]

Some quick and dirty snaps of my Warehouse 1922 ( actual model is 1915 'belt loop model) jeans and the 1927 type 1 blouse. Jeans have the initial wash and have had roughly 6 months of wear and the jacket 1-2 months worth if that.

You can see on the jeans by the wear pattern l do alot of sitting or standing (but no 'scooching down' any more so no honeycombes ). Denim is comfy as (...) though.

The jacket is still a little loose but it's great chucked over an old sweat or thick work shirt. Only wear a denim jacket now for short spells so l'm not going to get too excited about Evo as l'm in it for the long haul as usual

Warehouse 800. 23 months. Just came out of the wash again. I lost count of the number of washes at this point and I’m starting to think about my next pair. Probably going to be flathead or samurai. Can someone make a recommend something that fits similar to the 800? I love this cut.

[Cold Summer 4,202]

Looks great. I agree, 800 is the best cut I've ever worn. I don't think any FH pair really fits similarly, though the 3009 isn't too far off. In Samurai, maybe S710, sized up one from your 800 size.

710 is a bit slimmer in the the thigh and notably lower waist, but they do look amazing when sized correctly. I'm debating going all in, all-day everyday on my 800s after I sufficiently fade my current Resolute daily driver.

Perhaps THE item that got me interested in "historical" Japan repro was this jacket. I have been looking for one ever since. My second hand grail for many years. The bullshipper 10th anni 2001

[Graytrain 225,129]

Sadly the patch isn't going to make it. Jerky would be a kind description. 

[blooming 236]

That is beautiful. RIP patch.

Anyone reckon we could get this guy to post up his 800s this year? I've had a sneak peek... they're a sight to behold

After a successful no-buy 2022 I just copped this 30s 213 repro. The stars aligned as I’ve been after a 213 repro for some time and this released in Jan 

 

[Dr_Heech 568,658]

Nice pick up @unders - looking forward to seeing how this one develops.

I really like the 800 cut and the graininess of the 14.5oz XX-denim Warehouse uses but I have serious doubts whether I can make the waist work.

If my best fitting pair has a 34" waist, would the size 34 stretch that much? Every shop I see that carries these says to size up 1 or 2 sizes and I can't find a size 36 anywhere (also worries the slimmer fit in the legs would be offset too much in a size 36 on me).

I typically wear a 34 as well but got a 36 in the 800. 
 

While they are nice, the legs are pretty wide on the 800 in a 36. They are honestly barely different than my 1001 in a size 36 when I wear them. 

[YossarianRaw 545]

Thanks SML. What size is the waist on your 36s now, then? 

[Talan 596]

Does anyone know how to buy or get in line to buy a John Mung?

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,676,069]

The reservation time was last September, so you missed that. But BerBerJin seems to still take reservation if the info is still correct. The other shops already closed the reservation. 

I would keep an eye on JeansFactory to see if they also have stock after they fulfilled the pre-orders.

Love this - the cut, the atmosphere they have is fantastic 

[beautiful_FrEaK 1,676,069]

Yes the whole John Mung project looks nice, the denim they used as well. I prefer the jacket though
