Warehouse

[arinrauf]

wanted to try it, heard it would bring some special results. It didn't in the end though they smelled really nice.

[grooveholmes]

perhaps to prevent color loss? seems a bit much imo, but they look great. isn't black tea supposed to help with odor?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

some do also green tea soaks...I think it should add a certain shade to the fades

[arinrauf]

actually, it was just the pocket bags that dyed into brown color.

[wgmds]

those 660s are looking pretty far along for 6 months. they seem to need a lot of love, but yours are looking pretty good! probably better than my over 1 year 3 months pair....

[Gilangaditya]

3 month ++ 2 wash maybe

treasure detail

[Cobblers]

I've finally nailed my wh fit thank christ. I found this one pair of the 800's in raw amidst a sea of one-wash on Rakuten. I'll post some fit pics in a mOnth or so.

Fit compared to a 660, as I'm sure you're all aware, is a fraction looser in thigh and a higher rise, same denim and nice white lot tag detail.

Was this a limited run or just old stock? If anybody comes across some more raw in a 34 give me a nod please. I'm loving them!

Would anyone possibly be interested in buying a deadstock pair of 1001xx (old arcs and tab) from me? I bought them quite awhile back as a backup pair after I'm finished with my Denimes, but I tried them on recently and they're way too big on me now. I'll post pictures later this weekend. Size 33.

How much and waist measurements please?

[anklspr]

Gilangaditya, thanks for reminding me of how inactive I've become. Looking great for 3 months for sure!

too bad they are not my size (goes back to checking yahoo auctions...)

[setterman]

Anybody know anything about this Blue-Grey line mentioned on Warehouse's blog?

http://ameblo.jp/forgetmyself/page-1.html#main

Looks like they've got four or five different models lined up.

[SLAB]

yeah, sounds very promising

2501; straight model (i guess like Levis 47)

2502, tapered slim (66 model)

2505; bush pants

2506; tapered chinos

1920's logger jeans

1930's cinch back cowboy jeans

looks like an entire line! bloodpressure is rising, got to keep my cool

[aho]

gotta love that post on the FORGETMYSELF blog, "Still Alive"...you can really sense the passion these guys have for their craft, always pushing themselves to make their product better and better even after 17 years...inspiring stuff, and I look forward to seeing the new 1001XX denim at the end of April! yes warehouse, I'll buy another pair!

Changing from what they've used since the 15th Anniversary?

[aho]

^presumably, yes....and to confirm once and for all, the 15th Anniversary denim really is the same denim on the 1001XX etc. right now, straight from Warehouse's mouth when I was in Japan...

Hmm, will be interested to see what they come out with, especially if it's the same cut used in the 15th 1001XX. Was kicking around the idea of getting a pair of the 1000XX when they restock, but I don't like the color/fading of this pair from the Warehouse blog...

I realize I never posted this so I thought it would be fun to show...

Warehouse booth at Inazuma this past November...

[Snake]

The Archival Series 1930 and the Classic Series 2501 looks promising.

Aho - any info on the details of the new 1001xx?

[SLAB]

this thread really is no good for me; new 1001xx in april??? Also i'd love to have another pair from Warehouse that is a bit more slim fitting (such as the 660's); the upcoming blue & gray 2502 seems to fit the bill.

[aho]

sorry, I only know that they'll have the details on the new 1001xx around the end of april...

slab, I picked up a pair of the heller's cafe 2012 olympic jeans which are fairly slim (size 32, usually wear a 30 in most warehouse)...I wish they'd make a 660 in different fabric to switch it up though!

[ranonranonarat]

can't agree more on the 660 cut in another fabric. shorties like me will appreciate a smaller leg opening, post hem.

[MJR]

If anyone on here was the person who just outbid me on those 660s, damn you.

just got my hands on my second pair of warehouse jeans, some 800s i got off the market for cheap. fit is spot on after a hot soak and i fell back in love with the 1000xx denim...i've had many pairs of japanese jeans over the years but this is seriously the nicest fabric ive ever had the chance to handle, by far. fit pics soon to come

[shinobi2000]

lucky you, how much did you get it for? I've been salivating for another pair of Warehouse denim but I just can't justify spending the cash on something that is only slightly different in the cut. Warehouse should vary up their denim and weight like Samurai does to give us excuses to buy more.

[blasterofair]

i got em for 130$ shipped, and they are pretty much brand new save for some light wallet fades on the back pocket. I had just sold a pair of samurai 710s to a friend so i had a bit of cash lying around...it didn't take long for me to "reinvest it" though haha.

it's true warehouse would probably sell more if they put out new fabrics and weights but imo they've had the right approach to their craft so far: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I also feel that since they don't put out crazy heavyweight fabrics and such, they have stayed a bit out of the spotlight compared to brands like ironheart and samurai. that's one of the reasons i love the warehouse brand so much: low key attitude, top notch fabrics + construction and subtle detailing.

those who know, know.

[aho]

^It's funny because the impression is that WH doesn't sell much (which maybe true for the sufu crowd) but in japan they're probably in the top 3, maybe even top 2, sales/size wise....as they are first and foremost a repro brand, they don't really have the need or want to pursue extreme fabrics. which isn't to say they don't experiement or change it up fabric wise (Duckdiggers, Heller's, Lee x WH etc. give them room to play)....the time and dedication they put in yields subtle results but this is what makes them great IMO (as you said blaster)

currently wearing my Heller's Olympic 2012 jeans, they are my dedicated pair until the samurai contest. very interesting fabric that is very much WH, but still different from the standard 1000XX denim.
