Warehouse

[Snake]

I just realized the fake red tab uses rayon threads instead of cotton threads.

Contemplating on buying a pair of 800s. I've only had experience with Strike Gold jeans so any tips for a Warehouse newbie? Like stretch, general sizing etc.

And for all you 800 owners, hows the taper?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

IMO the taper is gentle...it will stretch a good amount. I don't wear my pair anymore but gave it to a friend so he wears it for me...haven't seen him for weeks I wonder if he wears them often and how they evolve

[wgmds]

warehouse is almost the polar opposite strike gold. it's no gimmick, love fueled fades.

Warehouse stretch pretty easily at the waist, so you want to go TTS or size up 1" at most. With the #800, you have to pay more attention to the thighs than the waist. I wear a size 38 in 1001XX and #700, but a 38 would be a little bigger than I'd want in the #800. Looking at the thigh measurement, I don't know that I could drop down to a 36 though. BiG refers to the #800 as tapered, but to me it's pretty straight. The #700 actually is a little more tapered between the knee and leg opening.

^amazing as usual...

another look at the new 1001's, up on blue gear:

Might be the lighting, but to me that new 1001XX looks darker than the denim used in the anniversary 1001XX, and even the 1000XX used in the 660/700/800. That's a good thing, IMO Warehouse starts out a little too light blue for a repro of pre-70 Levis.

wanting the 1001xx bad...1000xx seems slimmer than the 1001?

[Maynard Friedman]

The 1000XX is slimmer, according to BiG measurements.

tough to compare. According to the measurements at big the 1000XX start pretty close to the old 1001XX. It's all going to depend on how they shrink. My 1001XX 15th anniv started out with larger measurements everywhere other than the waist when compared to my 700 in the same tagged size, but once shrunk, the 1001XX is a little smaller.

Received the new 1001XX in the mail yesterday. The denim is amazing. Setterman is right. The new 1001xx is darker and much bluer than the 15th version which is somewhat grey casted. The back pocket stitching is yellow instead of the usual orange color.

my "bandana" is actually my patch that i've been to lazy to sew on there. my bike seat is a real killer, and those jeans see a hell on a lot of action on there.

repped snake for having another pair of the 15th 1001xx's. are they that good that you needed two pairs?

[ranonranonarat]

never too many pairs of warehouse.

great comparison shots. really love the darkness in them. pity i cant wear jeans that much anymore...

[anklspr]

Oh, I was just joshin' ya, wgmds. You jeans look good.

[shinobi2000]

snake

you should alternate the two pairs every other day so that we can get a true comparison!

setterman

i'm perplexed by your comparison of the 800s and the 700s -- you think the 800s fit looser? I've found the opposite to be true on my legs

oh, i know! i do my fair share of sitting, too!

[Snake]

This is what happens when I don't listen to reason and give in to my impulse. Wanted a pair with the arc.

I am rotating between warren and ooe 2101xx right now. I'll start the 1001 soon.

[SLAB]

Compare the size 38 700 and 800 one washed versions as measured on big's website. The 700 is smaller everywhere above the knee. To get the measurements I'd want (waist wise) i'd have to look at the size 36 in #800, then it's starting to get too small in the thighs.

i seem to have thrown ever denim i've owned into the washer at some point...the warehouse denim was the only one i thought got negatively effected :/

I don't understand why Warehouse made the Blue-gray line. Whats the point? Why make a product that isn't as great as Warehouse? Is Blue-Gray a budget line? The denim doesn't look as nice thats for sure. They are not repros. I am a little confused. I do love Warehouse jeans, and the Blue-Gray looks okay, but I want more insight into the brand. I'm not sold yet.
