Warehouse

[Maynard Friedman]

@ aho & Sugar Mountain,

Can we expect to see your respective pairs of Warehouse up for sale soon?

[Sugar Mountain]

No, I'm gonna wait until I get fat in later years! The denim is too nice to part with.

[setterman]

@whacked, I suggest sutocorp (check out their thread on sufu)

 

@sugar, Most likely not happening...   In a twist of fate, I could've made them work if they were button fly (the ol' "unbutton the top two buttons and wear a belt" trick) but the new 1001's are also too good not to wear. Perhaps we'll meet again next year for the 20th Anniversary pair!

 

What size were those 1001ZXX?  If you're willing to let them go, might be interested in them for my girlfriend.  

[aho]

@maynard and setterman, unfortunately I'm unable to part with the 1001ZXX!

[Maynard Friedman]

That's quite a relief aho as they would have tempted me greatly. I'm currently wearing my Warrens (DD108) and have a second pair stashed away along with some 15th anniversary 1001XX and some 415s (rebadged 700s) so I'm fine for Warehouse for some time. The denim is just so comfortable as well as great looking that I'll always have half an eye open for another pair at the right price...

[Broark]

Does anyone know what Warehouse might have coming up this year?

I'm torn between getting the 800 cut or waiting for a new 1001XX or some other denim they might use coming up this year.

I'm also thinking about getting the O/W pair of 1001XX that BiG has with the banner denim (assuming the waist will stretch a little).

Too many options to wrap my head around!

[setterman]

gonna be a couple more months before their 2014 jeans hit their website.

[Broark]

I might wait a bit until some new models pop up.

The 800 from Japan Holic is really tempting me for the price though...

[aho]

^Broark, setterman is right, it'll probably be a few more months until anything is announced for their mainline. In my opinion though, I don't think there'll be any changes to the 1001 this year, at least not likely until 2015 (20th Anniversary) since the 2013 model was a big overhaul. Hopefully they'll tack on the "XX" to it again that year, but that's a minor detail for purists...I think they're more likely to do something to other lot numbers since they discontinued the 700 (perhaps a 1004XX in the "banner" denim?) or maybe even a run of 1000XX (not seen since 2011)? I think they really struck it good with this fabric though, and would suggest a pair of 1001's from Japan-Holic if you're in between the 800's but also like the new denim on the 2012 1001XX. It's the literal best of both worlds (slimmed down cut, new fabric)!

 

The next few "new models" are going to be from the Brown Duck & Digger line, which I suspect they'll be pushing at least through April since it's supposedly their global brand:

[Broark]

Thanks for the write up aho, so the 1001's on JH are made with the banner denim? I think you might've just sold me on those!

[aho]

^That's correct, same denim! Only comes in one-wash which I personally prefer but might be a deal breaker for others.

[Broark]

I've never really dealt with one wash but it's not a deal breaker by any means. Although the waist would need to stretch a bit on the size 36. I'm assuming it would stretch back out to an actual 36?

[aho]

You should be good, the denim does have some give and they've also changed the cut to give a bit more room in the waist compared to an older pair in the same size.

[Broark]

Awesome, well I think in sold. I'll probably place my order sometime this weekend or Monday!

[Broark]

Done deal, ordered the 1001's from JH, really excited for my first pair of Warehouse!

[bradl]

Not sure if you guys know as much about HC as you do WH, but wondering if there is a cut like the HC-035 that's a slimmer cut. Or any HC that has a sub 8.75" hem. 

 

Love everything about the jeans, the fifth pocket is one amazingly detailed, I am just not sure how I would fit into a cut like that.

[aho]

^I'm not well versed, but the slimmest HC cut to this point has been the 2012 jeans:

 

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/earthmarket/hc-2012xx/

 

But it's a traditional 5 pocket jean without the styling/pockets/etc. of the HC-035...

[bradl]

Damn, I guess I have to realize I am not going to get much slimmer than the 035 for a cinch back. 

 

Would you be able to tell me which one is which for sizing?

 

Assuming the end is hem.

[aho]

Florian had a tailored/tapered pair of 700's that came out well earlier in this thread, but you likely won't find a slim cinch back since it's a 30's and earlier detail. Translating in order, left to right:

Size, Waist, Front Rise, Back Rise, Inseam, Thigh, Leg Opening

[bradl]

Hmmmm comparing those my X-33 the measurements aren't too far off, thigh has a cm or two difference, and rise is actually higher than most of my jeans, so I could probably go for the 33 in these. But going to hold off till summer as 11oz is only really good for a couple months out of the year up here.

[ranonranonarat]

any reason why you're going for the HC's instead? there are a ton of options for WH that has a smaller hem with a cinch back. 

[bradl]

Nope, no reason. Just what I was looking at at the time. Also really like the pocket details, but open to anything

[Broark]

Does JH usually send a tracking number?

Just curious and anxious to get my 1001s, I think they'll be a great pair of summer jeans once they break in.

[pomata]

quick update on my 660. got them from aho about 7 months ago and haven't washed them since.

I'm rotating these with some evisu and wearing them only a few hours a day.

Really happy about how good the fit still is after all these wears!

 

[Sugar Mountain]

^ That really is an excellent fit. Perfect length after hemming too.

[aho]

pomata, lookin' good, glad they're working out!

 

broark, they do send an EMS tracking number but it usually takes a day or two for them to get back to you initially, presumably them waiting for Paypal funds to clear.

[Broark]

I got a note from them saying the order had processed and the payment had been accepted so I'm just waiting on a tracking number I guess.

[aho]

^Looking back, I've seen on average 2 days from payment processed to shipment complete. They were closed from 12/27-1/5 so they might be catching up, but no worries they'll sort you out! I do understand the sentiment though

[Broark]

Ended up getting FedEx confirmation last night, should be here by Monday!

[aho]

a submitted pair on denimba...WH 700XX (2011 release, same denim as 15th 1001XX), wish there were more pics in different lighting...
