Thanks Martin, some nice ones in there, although l'm a little confused by the 401, 403 and 467 lot numbers.  Is that to do with weight? Still double V rather than single or no V. Hey l'm in no rush, probably won't get much wear until October time anyway.

Just wanted to jump in and point out that the lot numbers are each cut with notably different sleeve/shoulder patterns. I just got a 401 and discovered that it's cut & sewn to fall off the shoulder quite a bit. It makes for a more relaxed, less fitted look than my buzz rickson's, which has narrower, set-in sleeve pattern . The warehouse "freedom sleeve" models look to have more of a hybrid set-in + raglan thing going on that gives a more fitted looking shoulder.

Thanks for the response anyway and yes that's my understanding of the 401 model and as you say, on one or two of the other models, the freedom-sleeve (and diff. cuffs) seem hybrid-like.

The 483 'plain rivers' (no V's) looks good and a bit (?) heavyweight but unsure if it's loopwheeled/reverse weave or not. They have a black and a green in this model and the measurements work out well with current wearers.

I haven't delved into anything with a double V as l'm a bit over it recently tbh. l have 3 cushmans (double V's) and 2 og buzz ricksons (single V).  Too many peeps saying that my jumper is on back to front, then when they see the front of it they give a 'wtf?' face   Would like a WH single V but no luck yet. Am going to London soon and will have a chat with the staff at Son of a stag and see how that turns out. They have some models (?) that at least l can try on, then I'll take it from there. Won't be buying at their prices tho.

 I think the 403 is similar to the 401 apart from the shoulder seams are more fitted and the 404 is the regular freedom sleeve model. Both are double V style so although nice, are going on the back burner for now. Hey l'm in no rush but further investigation may be required.

Those translations are awesome. I particularly enjoyed the ribs on both sides that were made out of rock.

Thanks @unders that's of great help mate.

I’m considering buying this, mainly for this highlighted feature (courtesy of Instagram translations) 

[julian-wolf 8,219]

1001XX DSB, don't remember which exact model

Similar wear to the 601XX: maybe 2–3 times / week for the last year and a half

Yoke needs re-stitching, and the crotch needs a patch, but I really like how they're looking these days

Beautiful jeans Julian - Banner denim?

My 800xx are at ~9 months of wear, going to wash them soon, take some pics, put them aside for a while to get some repairs before the situation gets worse/the damage gets more expensive to fix.

[julian-wolf 8,219]

Thanks! No, these are the DSB denim. I’d still really like to try the banner denim, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever get around to it—between the shallow / flimsy pocket bags and the generally short inseams, I don’t think Warehouse is the brand for me.

[AlientoyWorkmachine 1,675]

@julian-wolf have these been machine dried? They look great. 
I’m with you though - maybe for slightly different reasons -  I love my current pair but they’re just not holding up all that well for what they’ve been through. I might invest in one good significant repair (or give it a go myself), but not sure how much time that will buy me. 

Edited March 15 by AlientoyWorkmachine

[julian-wolf 8,219]

@AlientoyWorkmachine Never machine dried, no. I think they’d lose too much in the length. The whole reason I ended up with this pair in particular is that they were some or other special edition that measured around 1” longer than standard, which put them right in my sweet spot.

I’m used to needing to patch pocket bags and crotches, so that hasn’t been too much of an annoyance for me. The constructional thread on these is weaker than on almost any of my other jeans, which is sort of a bummer…but also re-stitching over a seam is about the easiest category of repair, overall, so it’s hard to complain too much about that either.

Overall, really great jeans in almost every way—just not perfect for me personally.

Can anyone share their experience ordering directly from Warehouse with oversea shipping?

Or can you recommend any Japanese shops with a large assortment of sweatshirts and t-shirts?

I usually buy from the European (and UK) stockists, but I’ve already missed out on a couple of pieces that I really wanted. So now I’m considering a bigger combined order directly from Warehouse

Yep I'm used to restitching too, and I don't tend to mind it, but the consistency of it and the amount of places threads bust with the wear I've had has been the bummer. I think it's the constructional thread which feels like the main thing to me. It is easy enough to fix in most places it's true but not everywhere. Maybe I got a bad pair - I think I'd probably have them on the list to buy again if I weren't already stitching minor repairs into them a month or two into owning and about just as often since. I like the denim itself quite a bit, but there are still too many other options I haven't tried...

Ordering directly from Warehouse is simple, just fill out the form and they will send you a PayPal invoice. It seems like a lot of stuff is sold out by the time it’s up on their web shop, though. Take-off, Celluloid, Bears, and Hinoya (and probably quite a few more) all ship overseas and are easy to order from, and usually will ship faster than Warehouse too.

Fair point, I wish my pockets were deeper too, and it's not the sturdiest twill I've ever handled (hi, 3Sixteen.) Inseams are a deal breaker for me since I'm real tall, but I picked up the Self Edge run of 800xx and 1001xx with a 34" inseam post-wash, length on these is just right for me.

Excellent - thanks for the wonderful recommendations. Will definitely check them out

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim 199,217]

the 1001 pair I bought in april '22 (see page 345) and worn ever since for around 80% of the time, like 4 60° celsius washes outside out.

the 32,5" shrank to an 30" inseam.

I can personally recommend celluloid. Great service, great English, and willingness to reduce invoice price for tax issues.

Lot 1001 1901

Color in person is unlike anything else I've worn, the fit and construction are really nice

Just trying my best to stick to a *single* pair this year!

[tjsma 11]

@julian-wolf, how would you compare the build quality of your 1001xx to the 601xx that you posted in the Freewheelers thread?

[Cold Summer 4,202]

Warehouse 800xx Self Edge edition, 9 months of wear, three washes (6 months, 8 months, 9 months). Worn since fall 2020.

Probably my best fade ever. Combined with my chaotic Dad Lifestyle, this extremely reactive denim has aged rapidly, usually it takes well over a year for my jeans to get this faded (and damaged.) Tons of life left in these, but I need to get the knees darned/reinforced, have broken stitches fixed, the rear end reinforced (which is looking rather worn from me sitting around on my butt all day.) There is virtually no sign of wear on the crotch, though. Thanks to my skinny thighs, that’s rarely an issue for me.

I really love these jeans, probably the best-fitting pair I've ever worn, wonderful denim, nice detailing, everything about these is just right. Now focusing on my 1001xx, which is around 6 months of wear. Guess I'll try to photograph those soon, too.

That sort of comparison is almost never straightforward

…but in this case it really is. On build quality, the 601xx win hands down

[Bobbo 7,954]

Think these old 1003xx have gotten some wear since I last logged in here. Really enjoy these.

[Bobbo 7,954]

And a little update on the old 800 cotton-linen mix. Mostly just worn over the past few summers.

[crownzip 570,656]

Here's my S1000XX wartime denim first worn unwashed in 2001.  Really impressed with how they've started to break in.

[scooby 3,760]

A few months in these 1901 jeans, surprisingly haven't washed them yet

The denim is some of the best I've ever handled. Having trouble comparing it to anything else

On top of sewing on belt loops I removed the suspender buttons. Sorry

[shredwin_206 8,066]

@scooby those are looking real good. How about some update shots on the Lee cowboys repros? 

[scooby 3,760]

Just for you @shredwin_206 

Cowboys and other WH pairs that have seen some wear the past couple years

WW2 Cowboys

DSB 1936, maybe a month of wear

Oil, Golden Gate paint, many bad days

Duck Digger 1943. My all time favorite pair, no contest

25th anniversary 1001XX 50s. Banner, correct? Great cut but the denim sheds indigo comically fast with each wash. Really dislike that

Duck Digger 1946. Denim is so good and the cut is perfect, also kind of saving these

Regrettably removed the arcuates after one side started to go

 

Most importantly WH jeans fit me well, I have yet to put on a pair from them and not go "These are the best fitting jeans I've ever worn". That said, if I buy another pair of jeans this year can the mods please ban me

[shredwin_206 8,066]

@scooby thank you!! 
what’s caused the crazy front thigh fade on the DSB? Tool bag?
