Ranon, my friend, you caught me red handed! In my defense, I sold a pair to buy a pair, so really I'm just breaking even

does anyone know if this is the standard warehouse denim? http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/earthmarket/item/hc-2012xx/

No. this is the collabo production line by Heller's Cafe x Warehouse Co.

[aho]

^Not sure the thread thickness but it's also more lightweight and pliable than the standard 1000XX denim. Definitely a nice fabric though and they have a predistressed model out there that shows the fading potential.

[spacey]

damn i was hoping it was the usual warehouse denim cause i've always wanted a slim warehouse model other than the 660 (the pains of having chicken legs)

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

Actually the Heller's Cafe jeans design are on the basis of Duck Digger including the hardware.

 

and spacey you can consider Warehouse Lot. 800 or Warehouse Lot. 1100

really? I've always thought they were two different brands under warehouse. Yeah i've considered both but looking at the measurements they'd still end up looking pretty baggy on me. The 660 seems just about right but after a hem the taper would be pretty much gone i feel.

[S-Town]

Heller's is definitely a brand under Warehouse.  It's essentially a collaboration, but that encompasses the entire Heller's brand, not any individual piece.

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

They are indeed two individual brand under Warehouse Co. What I said is that some of Heller's Cafe jeans designs refer to Duck Digger on several sides. You can find the similarities.

 

spacey, sorry Warehouse standard jeans are not your type if you feel baggy.

As far as fit, having owned all of the aforementioned jeans (LOL, yeah I got it bad...) I can say that the HC 2012XX are indeed the slimmest of the lot by far, and also within the same sizing (I took a 32 in all: 660, 1100, 700, 800, 1001XX, 2012XX, etc.etc.). The next closest would be the 660 but if you're looking for a skinny, it won't fit the bill unless you alter the cut. That being said, if you can bear sizing down on the 660 (which I don't recommend), you could achieve a slim fit at the risk of blowing the crotch. WH denim can easily stretch in the waist back to raw measurements.

[spacey]

Yeah I'm just looking for a cut that suits my chicken legs. But the warehouse denim is just so alluring I think I'll just go with the 660. Even if its too loose around my calfs I'll just rock the look!

Anyway I told myself I would try to restrain from buying any new denim until the end of this year (Just got a pair of UES which I'm supposed to take pictures of) but the warehouse denim is calling my name.

[aho]

^I too have (had) chicken legs and when I downsized on my first pair achieved this fit (4 years ago):

gained enough weight to jump up 3-4 sizes but what can you do!

[spacey]

How much did you hem them by though? Ah yes the pains in gaining weight. Well I have loads of time to think about my future purchase anyway! Just posted pics of my UES in the UES thread

[aho]

^Could've hemmed them more looking back. I'm 5'8" and they were 32" after soaking; I typically hem to ~28" these days and cuff em high

[wgmds]

Just picked up a pair of 700 from BiG. Drying right now, fit pics to follow

1001XX from 2008, worn two years. This was the last pair to feature arcs/tab after the Levi's debacle. This version of arcs returned two years later for the 15th Anniversary pair although not combined with the red tab. jstarvin, this one's for you

Also on Yahoo Auctions (so much for trying to stay away from temptation) is a brilliant pair of 10th Anniversary 1004XX's:

^Ha! Thanks, man. Those have been my primary pair for awhile now, so I reckon I'll post some shots in the coming months. Along with my (old) Denime XXs, they're my favorite jeans.

thanks for the heads up aho, think I might just try my luck on those 10th anniversary 1004xx; I didn't pick them up in 2009 when I visited Japan and regret ever since

[jstavrin]

I'm not quite ready to post a full set of pictures, but here's the ass of my Warehouse 1001XX from 2008 (according to aho).

what a tease

[aho]

looking good! thanks for the pics, I like the wear on those...

[jstavrin]

Thanks, guys. I just took them out of the dryer, and they definitely have a long way to go before they're impressive.

[rustygoose]

I have a pair of 700's, thinking of buying some more warehouse soon..

 

Which cuts have roomy thighs & no cinchback? 1001xx?

[Sugar Mountain]

Heading to Osaka this weekend for a wedding and am staying dangerously close to Warehouse's Umeda store. There could be copping ahead... 

[aho]

jstavrin, holy crap I meant 2006-2007 on that pair...not sure what I was thinking when I typed that :X

 

rustygoose, the new lot 1001 is slimmed down but if you want more room you can try the 2012 1001XX model (recommend sizing up one from your usual size, the waist is trimmed down) or even the 1000XX if you can track a pair down (normal TTS sizing) which is looser/based off the 700 fit.

 

sugar mountain, good times, i actually kept getting lost when trying to find the Umeda store...I kept confusing the "triangle"/island shape wedge it's on with another spot and kept circling. However when I finally found it, the guy working couldn't be more awesome. He threw in some "goodies" (bandanas etc.) when I purchased a pair of Heller's and geeked out for about an hour. Told him I came all the way from chicago for the store which helped I'd also recommend the Flat Head shop if you have time. Best service I received hands down!

[Sugar Mountain]

Flat Head store added to my denim map! Cheers Aho.

[Kobe Beef]

And Samurai's flagship store isn't too far either...

[DDDm]

You don't want to miss the summer sale

Came across this in a local forum in Hong Kong, from someone just visited their shop in Namba Park

Good Luck

[aho]
